Overview

Honda CRM 250R










CRM250 Mkl 1989 - 1990 So this is where it all started, and it's not hard to see why the japanese (and the rest of the 2 wheeled world) fell in love with the bike straight away, with it's good looks straight from the current CR250 of it's day, (although thats where it's similaritys end) superb chassis and suspension put the CRM into a new market and Honda sold loads of them. The Mk1 looked very similar to the CR250 but was actually quite different. Oil injection, pillion pegs, twin ring piston & low reving 2 stroke engine were only a few of the differences, Yet the CRM was more like the MTX than the CR. The Mk1 was sold in red or white and is actually quite small in size compared to later models, yet with it's peakier motor and less weight this model is preferd by the shorter rider and it can be easier to manage off road than later models. Prices in the UK start at around £600 for a tatty example going upto £1100 for mint low mileage models.
