Where is it and how much??
I had an MT125(very empty) cause I want a Cr125 but needed to ride to work and so settled on the trail version(not) so the MR175 was something I could have wanted if they ever had come to NZ back then.

No i wouldnt. From what ive read in old Two wheels magazines, trail and track etc, they were just made for the american cross country/desert racing market and they had no compliance plates so Honda here as a whole wasnt interested in importing them, but there was some individual Honda dealers who did put in special orders and brought some here in low numbers, so i cant imagine there would be many here at all.

when I was at Kingo's circa 1978 we had a few MR's go through the shop. There was an MR250 as well ;) more popular in the US but they did come here. probably sold 3 or 4 MR's in the years I worked there which doesn't equate in comparison to the million XL250S' that went out the door ;)

Would it be right to assume that parts are plentiful in the US??
