Vintage 1975 Honda MR250 Elsinore for sale in Jefferson, Oregon

$175,000

Rare and unique piece of motorcycle racing history. Only produced by Honda for one year (1975), as a factory racing cycle before Honda turned this into a street legal enduro to compete with all the other enduro's appearing on the market.The MR 250 was produced to compete on the desert race circuit,hill climb and longer forest scrambles type racing. Racer's complained that the CR250's were to pipey and did not have the torque to compete effectively in these race's against the Husky's,Yamaha's,Maico's etc so the MR 250 was born. The biggest difference between the two Honda's (CR vs MR), is the flywheel counterbalance weight on the MR which gave this cycle the punch she needed to compete. Although not received well in the racing world the MR 250 proved a formidable competitor in the longer races and hillclimbs. Honda did continue the MR line of racer's with the 175 MR Elsinore. This rare find runs great,looks great and comes with the factory service manual and several hundred dollars worth of spare parts. Grab yourself a rare piece of motorcycle racing history on any Sunday with this rare find !!
