Honda XR description

1979 Honda XR 250 Enduro. This bike is NOT a museum piece, but is complete and  does run, shifts through all gears properly, clutch works fine. Gas tank is fair to decent condition. Overall all I would rate its condition as 6.5-7. While it is complete there are some things that need attention. They are:

1) Needs a carb rebuild the needle and seat leaks  if gas is left on
2) will need front and rear brake shoes

3) the previous owner for some unknown reason invented his own silencer out of hardware store  stuff.... it works but is quite ugly. An OEM muffler IS included with the sale


The good stuff:

1) overall it looks pretty nice ( but NOT a museum piece )
2) has NEW chain and sprockets

3) has NEW Maxis Rear tire
4) Has excellent compression


With a small amount of minor rep[air you can hit the trails with confidence OR restore it to museum quality condition. With the few little things it needs
 fixed, I would not hesitate to ride it all day!!


Please Note: There is NO title. Sold with notarized bill of sale ONLY


It is located in Baldwinsville, NY 13027 and pick up is the SOLE responsibility of the buyer. I can deliver it for a FEE within 5 hours from Baldwinsville, NY however you must contact me BEFORE you buy it to make that arrangement. D O   N O T   spring it on me AFTER the sale!!!

You are welcome to come look at it in person. Most sellers will not tell you what the reserve price is. I will. The reserve is set at $1375.00

Maybe the Evo class is the future for WSB?

Thu, 05 May 2011

Did 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.

2012 GSX-R1000 arrives at Visordown HQ

Wed, 23 May 2012

You've probably seen the video of Simon Crafar smoking up the 2012 GSX-R1000 at Almeria. Impressive stuff. Suzuki are (correct me if I'm wrong) the last manufacturer of an inline four superbike not to offer it with some sort of electronic rider aids.

First Look: Marotti Honda-engined trike

Wed, 10 Feb 2010

TAKE A HONDA VFR750 engine, a reverse trike chassis and some Batman-style aerodynamic bodywork and this is the result. Polish company Marotti have built this 100bhp prototype model using a 750cc Honda motorcycle engine. The company is now planning to frighten potential customers witless with a new 1.4 litre engine machine that will deliver a claimed power ratio of 397bhp/tonne.Oooh, yer bugger...
