Classic 1981 Honda CR250 Elsinore 

I got one I love it best bike a boy could ask for

I bought a 1981 CR250R new in ‘82 as a leftover for $1,499.00. I raced it a few times but never meshed with the bike well. I tried everything, but the front end was a plow that simply couldn’t turn. The power was plenty good as I holeshot the first two races with it. Then the 1982 Suzuki RM 250Z entered my life and provided me with a bike I could qualify in Nationals with as a Privateer. The Honda just collected dust for 3 or 4 years before I sold it for $500. I thought I did good getting that price at the time. Anywho!!

I raced my 81 in motocross for two years and never had any issues whatsoever.

Thanks Chris , another great video off Honda bike . It’s fantastic to see this , your fan Henri put belgium 🇧🇪 , cheers have a good Sunday friend

Fantastic! That CR is pristine 👌

Good evaluation, thanks ! So in other words, this bike was a RWTH (Repairs Waiting To Happen)

I'm a YZ guy but I loved those old Elsinore's . Honda Z50 minibike is a true classic.

Great video! I picked one of these up last year and I have been riding it, even raced it in a hare scramble. They are very fast and pretty comfortable to ride.

Oh I want another dirt bike so bad! I used to have a '98 YZ250 and an '89 KX80. I really want a new YZ250 2 stroke but I have a few other things financed that have to get off the list first. Thanks Chris!

I have an 81 that I still ride today. Left kick, Rides like the wind. Tall gears. The one I have has a much wider clutch cover than the one you show here. I wonder what that's all about

really nice bike .great survivor . looks good even though all the problems you,ve pointed out. 👍

This bike weighs nearly the same as a modern 2024 250. Numbers don’t lie

thx for your videos

Oh ya

1981....a year of rare birds like my 81 CR450 ...all original but not in the unused condition of that 250

82 was better......
