Following the dominance of British and European manufacturers in Motocross, and particularly when smaller capacity classes were established, the Japanese makers focused their attention on the sport. Suzuki were first to make inroads into the sector, and were soon followed by the other major Japanese manufacturers, who all began producing specialised racers. Honda first produced the two-stroke CR250, initially twin shock and air-cooled, in 1973. By 1981, when this example is believed to date from, they were monoshock rear suspension and water cooled. Unsurprisingly, in view of the radical overall red paint scheme they had been christened 'The Red Rocket'
This CR250R is believed to be an older restoration, and will require re-commissioning prior to further use. Whilst the engine turns over, its mechanical condition is unknown. There are no documents present, and it is sold strictly as viewed.
