stripped down to 523 pieces and rebuilt,pardon the dc plastic yes i know


busted plate 30 c oats of spray paint preserved the bike,i made a new plate,fastened with honda rivets
all the hardware double plated,new bushes bearings,piston[still had original bore]
 gasketsbrakes tyres,left the wheels maybe later,until then there original and hardly chipped

Yep must agree, good looking bike, but then again it is a Honda!!

[Hoony]

Nice Bike, good to see some early 80's 250's restored. not many of them around.

Yes I agree with my 'comrades' Mr Hoony and Mr Frodo,that is a very nice bike,its a credit to you mate.

[Rossvickicampbell]

well - excuse me Craig!

Luckily Honda were the only manfacturer to make mx-ers with rubber pillon pegs and horns

cheers guys,new fork boots sprockets today ,job done 3rd kick presto,
 im going to rebuild a fleet of pre 85 cr,s,
got to love the 1980s,this one was a quickie next one will take a bit longer,
its a 84  cr500 x racer ,has some big weight on the flywheel and its scary to ride

Nice job
Gear lever looks a bit low though.
I had one of these in late 82, nice bike but the 83's always seemed so much better, (i'm sure it wasn't the riders )

Good stuff retro. I am a keen Honda owner and the 85 cr500 is a special bike for me.
Great work on the 82. The 125 in that year was my first Honda race bike.

Yep nice job and good usable bike. Everyone rushes out and grabs a 500 these days but unless you have Liesk on the end of your name you will probably ride a 250 faster.

I like the early 80s CR250 power,  my 250 RB has great midrange.

[suzuki43]

Hey Marc,have you been peddling the RB down the back streets again?

[caps 999]

nice awsome job mate whod you get to reprint the frame tag

[retrobiker]

thanks guys ,i have now fitted the correct fork boots and it looks the part now,ill get some more pics up
straight from 82,the plate i had done under the counter ,as honda was no help with a replacement[morons @mpe]
i had to do it my self,any one needs a new plate just pm me,not to hard to change for any model cr

Old CRs never die, they just become classics, well done, very cool bike.
