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. |

Blind car drivers? It's your fault. Really, it is
Thu, 23 Sep 2010Be seen, you Making car drivers see you is an art form that you learn from experience and narrow scrapes. It’s a fact of riding a bike that you’re harder to see than a double decker bus, it’s obvious isn’t it? You're small, fast and mostly, totally obscured by the average A-pillar.
