i am looking at a honda 300ex for 1600$. it comes with a set of rear paddle tires, hand gards,extra sprocket and chain, electric start, white brothers exhaust, reverse, carb just cleaned, new spark plug. it sounds like it runs great( havent driven it yet because it is a 5 hour trip to see it). anyone have one, what are the likes and dislikes. is this offer to good to be true or not.

It depends on the year of the machine.

It's a smaller diplacement machine and if it comes with paddle tires, I would be concerned the clutch has been fried and the machine has been beat on. Not to mention air cooled. Paddle tires is also an indication that it's been ridden in extreme conditions (heat) and to stress a smaller motor by running paddles would send me running the other direction.

5 hours is a long way to drive to test ride a machine that you might not purchase.

Don't get me wrong, the 300EX has been one of the most reliable sport machines around that I know of. I would be very skeptical given the information we have.

To sum it up, find a machine closer to home.

My 2 cents.

      We actually hardly buy any of the candy, but they have so much other good stuff like the Pies, apple bread, canned and jar pickled stuff, hot sauces etc. 😋

      I'm game to try anything but yeah, I'm not into a lot of fruit or sweety meats.  Plus we made our one trip a year down to the Big yellow candy store already this year. 😋

      i've lived in Richmond and now cold spring all my life. my brother ordered a half of beef from this place called Homegrown meats , had never heard of it. know why now, when i picked it up it was established in 2020.  its just south of browns lake at the intersection of 22 and cty rd 43.  nice little place.   he called both Plantenbergs and breagelmans in Richmond........they are 6 months out. Breagelmans actually referred my brother to this place.  he said it was cheaper also!!!!!   i'll be taking some venny trimmings to Mcdonalds in 2 weeks for summer sausage and sticks!!!!!   plantenbergs will get the rest for bologna and hot dogs!!!!! you cant eat other bologna or weiners once you've had theirs!  mcdonalds SS and sticks are also topof the line as far as i'm concerned!
