Non VMX, looking for a 95-96 CR250
« on: March 24, 2013, 07:06:55 PM »
As per title I'm looking for a 95-96 CR250, looks don't really bother me as it will be getting a make over however motor, suspension etc must be in good condition

Have up to 2k to spend

Cheers

Building a McGrath special? 95/96 were the best ones...

95 's had fork problems whn they switched to kayaba.
92/93/94 's are best .My stock 94 was dynoed by top gear Honda and the guys still talk about it, best power spread ever , much better than the later alloy framed ones.
here is a 96

Didn't Mcgrath continue to ride a '93 with latest model cosmetics right up to '96? I think the move to the alloy frame was one of the reasons he left Honda

He did in 94 , the 93 was half a deg steeper on the front end than the 94 , not sure after that.

No not building anything special, had a 95 about 5yrs ago always been one of my favorite bikes so I'm looking for another but they are getting harder to find at the moment, I have my eye on the ebay 96 model only thing is it would cost me a bit to get it back here to Newcastle

They're still out there, but you'll be lucky if you find a good one quickly.

Took me about 12 months to find a 93/94 125 worth buying.

Yeah I'm not interested in the alloy frame CR's not even the last model, the last steel frame CR's had everything perfect and a good feel to it

I was working at a honda dealership when the alloy framed 97 model came out...What a P.O.S! They lost the magic motor & the suspension was worse than any other CR250 Ive ever ridden!
