Beschreibung:

When smaller capacity classes were established in motocross, the Japanese makers focused their attention on the sport. Honda first produced the two-stroke CR250, initially twin shock and air-cooled, in 1973. By 1981, they had progressed to monoshock rear suspension and liquid cooling. Unsurprisingly, in view of the radical overall 'Tahitian Red' paint scheme, they were nicknamed 'The Red Rocket'. This machine dates from approximately 1979, and was added to the collection some time ago. It has the air-cooled engine with staggered cylinder finning, twin-shock rear suspension with Ohlins rear damper units, lightweight plastic petrol tank, mudguards and side panels. Fitted with gold anodised wheel rims, it has drum brakes front and rear. An older restoration, it will require some re-commissioning or further restoration prior to use. There is no documentation, and whilst the engine turns over, its mechanical condition is unknown and is sold strictly as viewed.
