Honda XL250 is a four stroke 250cc motorcycle from Honda introduced in 1972 and manufactured through most of the 1980's. It is an "enduro" or "dual purpose" bike meaning it physically looks like a dirt bike, and shares many characteristics with a dirt bike, but it is street legal. The bike is completely mechanically operated as there are no hydraulics on the bike. The 250cc motor produces 24 horsepower and the bike weighs 288lbs with oil, grease, and gasoline. Fuel capacity is 2.388 gallons. Demand for this model has remained high among collectors and enthusiasts. It could reach a top speed of 80 mph (128 km/h). Claimed horsepower was 23.47 HP (17.5 KW) @ 8000 RPM.
Engine[edit | edit source]

Drive[edit | edit source]
The bike has a 5-speed transmission.
Chassis[edit | edit source]
It came with a 3.00-21 front tire and a 4.60-17 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via expanding brake in the front and a expanding brake in the rear.
