1983 Honda XL250R

This well-preserved 1983 Honda XL250R is from San Diego, California. Manufactured in the era of classic off-road bikes, it's finished in bold red, with a matching single-downtube frame enclosing its 249cc SOHC single engine mated to a six-speed transmission. Standout features include a cross-braced handlebar, Keihin carburetor, CD ignition for reliability, and a kick starter for pure mechanic enjoyment. It wears a black two-up seat, protecting the high-mounted exhaust, skid plate, alloy rims, and Pro-Link monoshock suspension. Despite its ruggedness, it's equipped with drum brakes fore and aft. Currently active in an online auction, this XL250R offers vintage off-road enthusiasts a chance to own a piece of Yamaha's rich motocross history.
