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!!
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
