Bought an 82 WR240

Well, I broke down and made a deal with a guy to take his 82 WR240 on trade for a new TE450.

I always wanted a vintage Husky. The best part about this one is that it actually runs and the guy who I am getting it from is the original owner!! He has all the books and the original sales contract.

It needs a seat cover and has a pretty good dent in the tank. Otherwise it is pretty good. He actually rides it fairly regularly.

I am looking forward to pulling it out of my trailer someday and actually riding it!

Pics coming soon.

I cant wait to see the pictures. The only 240 I have seen was a 83. Were the 240cc bikes Europe only, or should I say Non-USA bikes. I remember someone saying they made the 240cc bikes due to some European regulation. if anyone knows the history of these bikes please let us know.

And I thought the 240 was a typo? I don't remember them, but I was kind of out of dirt bikes through those years.

I don't know what the reg was for 240's. Funny thing is.... 2nd overbore on the 250 is the same as 3rd on the 240..

It was a 240, but the guy just put a new piston in it and it is a 250 now.

Maybe the 240 was just a Canada thing?

It isnt perfect, but there is a bike there.

I get it on Wed. I will post some pics then.

240 was non USA

Here she is. Old and new Husky in one picture.

Very cool!

Very nice. Great looking vintage Husky. Loved the red and gold colors of that era. Sexiest bike on the market back then.
