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. |

Motorcycles at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show
Mon, 28 Sep 2009Two weeks ago, I took a break from my regular duties gathering news for Motorcycle.com to fly to Germany to cover the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show for our sister site AutoGuide.com. For two hectic days, AutoGuide editor Colum Wood and I scrambled across the massive 6.2 million square foot Messe Frankfurt trade fair compound, running from press conference to press conference to get the latest on exotic sport cars, futuristic concept models and international unveilings from the automotive world. It was heaven for car lovers, but for me, it meant fighting my way through hordes of photogs, auto-journalists and car show models to get the first photos of four-wheeled goodies from MINI, Ferrari and Lotus.
Maybe the Evo class is the future for WSB?
Thu, 05 May 2011Did we see the future of World Superbike racing last weekend at the BSB event? Possibly, but only if everyone is on Evo spec machines in 2012. By setting the 2nd fastest lap in race one and running second for a while in race two, the brilliant Alex Lowes proved that with a good grid position an Evo spec machine can be competitive for part race distance at least.
