Honda MR250 Elsinore description

This is a 1976 Honda Elsinore MR250 off-road motorcycle.  It has a 250cc, single cylinder, 2-stroke engine.   It does not have an oil injector, so 2-stroke oil must be pre-mixed 50:1 with gas.  It has drum brakes front and rear, headlight and brake light, and speedometer/odometer.  Kickstart only.  It does not have turn signals and is not street legal.  It does not have a VIN, so it does NOT have a title.  The bike will come with a Bill of Sale only.  (Note that eBay's software would not let me choose that it does not have a title!  As an off-road vehicle, it never had a title for street use.)

The bike runs well.  It (usually) starts 1st or 2nd kick with the choke on.  I say "usually" because the kickstarter needs to be repaired.  About half the time when you kick it, the kickstarter does not engage and turn the engine.  There are probably broken/missing teeth on the gear that engages with the kickstarter, because if you roll the bike forward in gear, the kickstarter will then engage.

It has a five speed transmission, and there is nothing wrong with the gears there.

It has full knobby tires front and rear.  The rear knobbies are about half worn down.  Front is good.

It doesn't have a spark arrestor on the muffler anymore.  The muffler and pipe are both in good condition, repainted by the previous owner.  The bike still has its original metal toolbox on the right rear side, and has its original shocks.

The tank was repainted by the previous owner.  The paint job is acceptable, though it bubbled up in two spots, if you look closely.  No dents in the tank, or anywhere else.  The inside of the tank is coated with some latex/rubbery sealant, I'm not sure exactly what product that is.

Does your 2010 Honda Fury have Sloppy Welds?

Tue, 02 Jun 2009

The 2010 Honda Fury Chopper has been out for a few weeks now and people have been buying them up all across North America.  A local Honda dealer revealed to us that he only received 4 choppers from Honda and sold them before they even arrived at his shop. The Fury is at a great price for those who want a stylish chopper look, but are you sacrificing quality for a bargain chopper?  Do sloppy welds break your heart or can you tough it out and live with them knowing you got a unique looking bike at an affordable price? See the full post for pictures and opinions.

Press launches - the ugly truth. Part 3

Sun, 03 Apr 2011

So with an afternoon of sightseeing completed (a rare luxury on most launches) it's back to the hotel for the press conference. These are you usually long winded, tooth pulling affairs with Japanese technicians insisting on speaking their bestest engrish which only serves to elongate the proceedings. Nothing kills a presentation more than reading every word of a powerpoint slide verbatum, even thought the viewers can read exactly the same words (and probably a lot faster).  The Crossrunner presentation was mercifully brief and snappy followed by dinner in the hotel and a reasonably early night as everyone had already been up for twenty hours.

Honda CB900F Bol D'or

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

Slick videos shot on HD GoPros (complete with dubstep soundtracks) are now common place. But back in the late 80s, self shot videos were much thinner on the ground, due to expensive camcorders that were about the same size as a petrol tank and probably just as heavy too.In a blast from the past, 'Old love' features a Honda CB900F Bol D'or and was posted online a few days ago by the self-proclaimed 'one of the quickest 'drivers' in Langenhagen, Germany': Jan Rosanka. The Blue Order remix is a great choice to accompany the short but my favourite scene is the friendly 'hi' to camera followed by the middle finger.
