The Honda Elsinore motocross 250, launched in the fall of 1972, was the [[marque]]'s first two stroke since the model F of twenty years earlier. It also conformed to Honda's "green" policy of the early 1970s, which was represented in four-stroke form by the [[Honda SL125|SLl25]] and [[Honda XL250|XL250]]. The Elsinore marked Honda's return to the two-stroke market in fine style by winning the American 250cc motocross championship with the [[Honda CR250M|CR250M]].
