I'm 64 and that bike would be a dream come true to own. Unfortunately I had a 76 or 77 RM250 in 1985 that I bought for 400 dollars it was like new with the paint on the tank 100 percent in tack. I moved to Florida and had my parents sell it. I most likely got about nothing for it 😢😢😢😢😢. Nothing is better than oldschool like these bikes.
It's a trip how Honda changed the sprocket from the clutch side ( early models ) to the throttle side for a few years '79' being one of them. It gives the rear wheel that "Maico" look. It must feel a little different exiting the turns. The bike you have here is a dream bike for anyone who has owned an "Elsinore". Absolutely amazing.
That DG pipe is a work of art. That's gonna really help the rpms climb higher, faster. Had a 3 wheeler with the same engine, and it was dangerous. Within a matter of weeks, nobody else even wanted to ride it. All were ascared. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
I laugh every time you rip up and down the street and doing wheelies, Brings back memories of when I was a kid doing this while looking to see if any cops were around, just seeing what I could get by with before someone called the police on me. I remember one time in Mesquite Texas I put expansion chambers on my 1972 H1 Kawasaki triple ripped it up and down the street duct into my buddies garage shut the door and watched the cops going crazy up and down the streets looking for me they even got a helicopter out trying to find me. I did not come out until the next morning.
My buddy had one in 79. He rode pro. It had Fox air shocks and Simon forks. Best motor in class. I rode an RM. what it needed was that swing arm. I could watch the stock one flex following him.

That was my 3rd dirt bike I ever had. Definitely didn’t look like that it had a plastic gas tank off I don’t even know what and spray painted black . My dad used to get stuff for free from other farmers around the area and I would piece bikes together and that’s what I had to ride . I loved that bike and learned a lot on it . I didn’t look the coolest especially since this was in 2001 but makes me appreciate everything I have and what I’m able to give my children. I don’t think they understand how lucky they are having new bikes but I do know I kept my word that if I ever had kids they would always have nice dirt bikes no matter what.
Gotta be worth at least 9k. I’m drooling profusely! Ummmmmmm…!!!!!!!!!! Cheers to Honda!!! And the “Cap’n!” !!!!! Cheers z!!! Finally a true mother mutha!!!! Wrap=BraaAAP!!!!!
A beautiful piece of unobtanium for most, unless you had money or a sponsor but, if you were lucky enough to have a DG head and Thor swing arm on your bike you were golden. I'm 58.... is it too late to be adopted by you?

Out of all the bikes I've owned, this was my favorite, the bike was super light and easy to toss around and not overly powerful.
I love the smell of 2 stroke oil in the am )
Gotta love that bean oil.
Great movie reference.
And PM too !
Ripping down a city street at 60....gotta love it.
