The '''[[Enduro]] Craze''' was in full swing! [[Kawasaki]] sold tons of their Bighorn's, [[Yamaha]] had the DT's and [[Honda]] had the SL series 4-stroke singles, just what you'd expect from Honda. But somehow (was it just to proof they could do it?), all of a sudden Honda decided built a 2-stroke 250 Enduro! The world was shocked! Today, very few examples are still around other then in [[Motorcycle Museums|museums and private collections]]!
