Does anyone know if the optional "GP" cylinder for the '75 250 Elsinore improved performance much ?

The only one i know of was for the '74 250. Did they make one for the m1 and m2?

I have an M1 GP cylinder which is a bit buggered up with some broken fins and scored bore.

Just wondering if performance gains ( if any) are worth the effort saving it

i have a 74 cr250m that my dad got new in 74...he got the factory optional cylinder with larger carby and reed block wich looks like my modern v force reed block in my kx500 i never rode the bike standard(i wasnt made at this stage) but ive rode the thing now and she goes well 4 a 74 mod dad recons it was money well spent in the day

I remember the optional cylinder but haven't heard of a reed valve available from Honda other than the Gem aftermarket one.

That sounds a lot like the Gem that i had on my 74 cr250. It didn't have any markings on it either.
