Just Bought this 1981 Honda XL250s - It Has 772 Original Miles - Hasn't Run In At Least 15 Years  - I Bought a New Honda XR250 1982 back In 82 - The Pro-Link was Awesome To Me Back Then -  So Hopefully This One Is Running Soon -

Drool......

I had a 82 XL185s I never, never should have sold. 
Always wanted a 250s.   

My '79 just isn't as good as the later years.

 Great find !  Any backstory to share, sounds like a one owner cream puff.

I fully restored one of those last summer. Not rare at all.
Very good parts availability for them yet.

If it's worth doing at all it's worth over-doing.
