If I wasnt trying to get my bike completed I would bid on that, love to have a set of CR----RG 125 & 250 to go with the 5hungy, maybe even a 80. :)
-

-
Why its twice a 2 fiddy. Its hard to say without a heap of metal in your face.
Great looking bike thats for sure.
-
that would be a grill
-
or that would also be my bling bling
-
I came accross one of theese, CR250RG that is, about a week and a half ago as an elcheapo parts bike.
Can anyone tell me if any of its parts have commonality with the earlier say 1984 RE model?
Thx Mick.
still looking for 89 cr250 rear wheel and brakes etc.
-
as nice as it is, (and that year is my favourite) I'd be swapping the pipe for a pro-circuit.
and buying some boardies to wear over the top of my pants ;D

500, 500ered yes slanging it a bit. Hope this helps :)

Wow! The 250 went for 6k! The 480 he had listed went quite well also at $4550.
-
Yeh 6K Bidder with no history, gotta watch'em.
-
As a newbie to the evil bay thing, seems to me you dont need to put on a reserve if you know what you or your mates have put in as an automatic bid and look at the worst case of paying commission on a sale to yourself if you dont get lucky and attract a wood duck....
:o
Interesting seeing how this all works however!! ;D

i smell a rat there, a CR250 RG is not worth $6k, $3-4K at best

Sorry to disappoint you Hoony, but I know the story with this bike and it's a done deal. The owner was not expecting that sort of money for it. I guess if someone has the money and they want something bad enough they'll pay the cash. Unfortunately you won't see it on a track anytime soon, It's becoming a trophy in a bar.
-
99% of the time if you said "bullshit", you would be right. Good on the owner for getting those dollars even though it still probably owes him more than that if he did the resto.
-
Absolutely 090, if I didn't know what the story was legit I wouldn't believe it myself.

well i stand corrected then! great price for him (the seller).
and yes you are correct if someone wants one bad enough (and yes it would cost more that $6k to build a mint one)
maybe i should unload one of my 2 then.
-
Hmmm!! great to get you guys who know staightening out my pessamistic outlook... mind you I guess the wood ducks haven't all been shot out by the sounds of it!! ;D
-

Mick-De
The 84 and 85 cr's were pretty much stand alone bikes in the engine department. 86 went to HPP and the 84/5 bikes each had there own ATAC setup. The waterpump/ATAC governer is exclusive to each model. Parts from 86 and 87 will fit eachother. In saying that, there was a 85 CR500 on the bay recently that had what looked to be a 89 or later clutchcover/waterpump on it.
Wheels, forks etc will fit. Shock wont fit 84. Tank/seat different. Even footpegs are different. There are a few bits from the 86/87 that work on the 84. You will see for yourself when/if you have them side by side.
Hope it helps

Nice bike but wouldn't bring $1,500 here in the US.
-
why is that?
just interested.

Thanks Mark,
I should have stated my reasons for inquiry in the first place. I am wondering if the 85CR rear wheel is a 18” and the same as the 84CR rear wheel. That would make it legal to run in the back of my PRE85 1984 XR500, so I could run a 18” trials tyre for dirt track. The other thing is I notice from looking at pictures that the alloy swinging arm on the 85CR model looks the same as the 84CR. If it is the same part number, it also would be legal to run in PRE85. The CR arm looks about 40mm longer than the XR swinging arm. I have an article for the XR. It is about how Geoff Ballard reworked it in to a better bike. It says he lengthened the swinging arm by 38mm. I am wondering if that is the easy way to do it? and get rid of the 84XR “steel” arm, at the same time. I could have bought that basket case CR, five weeks ago for $150. I will enquire this weekend wether it is still available.
Grateful for any help, guidance or knowledge.
Thanks Mick.

Just the demand is low, I guess. Take a look at this '85 that's near mint condition. He's been trying to sell it for months. He'll be lucky if he gets $1,000US for it.

Great looking bike. Its when bikes go so cheap you wish you lived in the states. Is he selling his bike or himself? There are a lot of pics of him with the bike in the background ! :D
-
Hi Brad, do you have any 1984 CR's ? do they have an 18" rear wheel as opposed to the 17" that I cannot find a trials tyre for on the back of my XR500's ?
thanks Mick.
-
all 1984 CR's had 18" rear wheel (in fact they all had 18" into the 90's sometime)

That's definitely not helping his sale. It's a very low hour bike though. Someone needs to buy it before he messes it up.

Thanks Hoony, that gets me a bit closer. My 1984 XR500 hub has a tiny little drum brake set up. I dont suppose you would know if the 1984 CR used the same hub or not. I might attemp an online searh for Honda parts lists around the 1984 era.
Thanks Mick.

my 94 has an 18" ,thats one reason that I kept it. 95 or 96 went 19"

They would be different for sure.
Still haven't heard from rls840 regarding the sale x 2 :-\

This '85 is for sale again. He's asking $1,000 for it now and says he's going to part it out if he can't sell it.
-
Mick-De, the 84 XR and CR rear hubs are different, but not totally. I reckon you could get the CR hub to fit. The only mojor issue i see is that the CR axle is thicker than the XR, which would mean either altering the XR swingarm or maybe find a bearing than fits the CR hub (outer dia) and the thinner XR axle (inner dia). Put on a CR master cylinder up front and you might have some brakes on the XR!
Cheers
