1984 Honda CR250R Red Rocket 

84 and 85 CR250 were my years on this bike, oh man do i miss those days!

@KAPLAN AMERICA God, watching this video brings back a lot of good memories from when I was a teenager. I bought a used 1984 CR250 when I was 17 back in 1986...yeah I'm old, LOL. That engine was a powerhouse, great power at low, medium and high RPM. I loved taking it down to Flat River and the MX track that used to be at Beaumont/Antire road off of highway 44. I'm currently rebuilding a 1985 CR250 so hopefully this coming Spring, I'll be riding again. Kaplan America, keep up the good work!

Loved the look of the 84 CRs

Beautiful bike. I miss my 1986 Yamaha YZ 250. The 80's were a great time to be into riding dirt bikes!!!!

1984 was the best CR I can remember.. Engine with standard pipe was like an electric motor, almost and gear and twist the throttle, was such a linear powerbond.. fantastic

I told my girlfriend about your museum, and she said we should go. Can you believe that? She does not ride, but she gets it.

Beautiful bike I just picked up a really clean start for a restore! I'm super stoked! My dad handed me a 1984 cr125 in a in a box when I was 15. I built and I loved every inch of it! I always wanted the 250 and now I have one😁

Man them bikes never get old love the orange and blue CR S u guys are rly doing something special on every bike u put ur hands on if u don’t have a dream bike for every man there they don’t exist period

Amazing how much they evolved every year, had to buy a new one every year, a one year old bike was obsolete. They got alot stronger, and the removable subframe was awesome to work on. Always wanted to do an 87 with an 88 frame, tank and seat, shock. 87 shock linkage, motor, forks. Loved the ol flash red cr red orange color. Evo 80s CR's get me excited too lol.

I had a brand new one of these in 84. I absolutely loved this bike! Awesome power and ride!

You guys deserve a BIG! pat on the back for all the work you do. Keeping these dream machines alive for people to enjoy 20,30,40,50, years from when they first hit the market looking way better than then they did back then and still rippin way past anybody's expectations as to how long these bikes would last. A lot of bikes either get wrote off or parted out so keeping these bikes alive is a real treat. Good job boys!

I had a 1984 CR125. I had ridden dual sports before, but it was my first motocross bike, my first brand new bike and my first attempt at racing. As Ken says it was cutting edge it was the first year to have all of the major advancements. I should have bought the 250 but I am a short guy and the 125 was a bit smaller. In my club the classes went by level but were open meaning I rode against 250s and 500s on a 125. I won a series but never a race. I had a few seconds and a lot of thirds. There were a few sections with hills and deep sand and the 125 was like bringing a knife to a gun fight. I am sure I would have moved from junior to senior class if I had the 250. Years later I moved to 250 2-strokes and today 450 4-stroke. This restoration is a beautiful example that looks like new. As a small consolation I have a fridge magnet of a 1984 CR250 in my kitchen. PS I had a picture of Donny "Holeshot" Hansen on my bedroom wall. We was wearing white Gaerne boots, Answer Team Honda pants and had a gorgeous blonde beside him. I bought all of the same gear yet did not meet the playboy bunny or become an AMA champion. Clearly grounds for a false advertising lawsuit! I still have the boots, the size 32 pants which I could never squeeze into and my Bell Moto helmet in my basement.

My favorite bike of all time. 2 strokes rule!!

lmfao i love it when ya take a test drive threw the museum

Love this bike

My dream job would be to work here its amazing🤤😍i live in the uk so its pretty far for me to come visit you guys

Favorite bike i ever owned wish I never sold it

I dont even own a motorcycle! Now I'm watching all your videos.

That’s a beautiful bike!! I had a 85 CR 250 at age 15, mine was a monster being I only weighed about 140lbs!! All o had to hold on to it !!

Sweet cr. Sounds tight !

That's such a nice bike

Bikes were fun then because they had a lot of technology but they were still lightweight machines. 1983 CR125 was 193 pounds with alloy bolts stock everywhere. Trust me 193 pounds v 267 pound 4 stroke is night and day on fun factor.

I rode one for like four years put a paddle on it several times good luck pulling on me

Love this dudes awesomeness.

Beautiful bike and job done to perfection 👍👍

Dear KAPLAN AMERICA Team, do you happen to have a source for parts for a 1984 CR250? I'm looking for a water pump impeller and kick-start ratchet? Alternatively, the entire 1986 water pump system can be converted, are there enough new water pump wheels? Warm greetings from Germany

That little Vintage the was my first ride....

I wish i could find a 1984 cr 80R for my son

Kapay ka talaga

Ken who does your grafix?

I don't believe 1984 is red rocket last year red rocket made was 1981
