The prototype for the Honda CR250 was built in 1971. But it wasn't until late 1972 that production of "out of the box racers" began. It was made available for sale to the general public in 1973.
The CR250 is the longest running 2-stroke motocross motorcycle of all time, being in production for nearly 37 years. The Honda CR250R is no longer produced. 2007 was the last year of production.
The two-stroke CR250R is no longer produced by Honda. 2007 was the last year of production. Many two stroke enthusiasts regard the 2000&2001 as the best 2 stroke 250 motocross bikes of all time, rivaled only by the 2005-up Yamaha YZ250. The 2001 CR250 had the 2nd generation aluminum frame that was loved by many riders, and the non-electronic power valve. The 2002-2004 CRs had case-reed motors with the RC valve, pr Revolutionary control valve that had a narrow powerband that was hard to control. The 2001 CR is a refined version of the 2000 model that has a wider base valve in the forks that allows wider range of adjustments than the 2000 model, and a superior shock with a better valve and refined shim stack.
