      @@ronaldtartaglia4459 I had a CR250rj '88 FMF pipe ect, I got it in 1989 it had been Race 1 Season but was Still Fast & Fresh, I Regretfully Sold it 2yrs Later to by a Brand New YZ125, You do Dumb things When your Young!!😉 The YZ was Great, but Not a 250r Powerhouse!
      I wish I Could by that Bike Back Today in the Same Condition I Sold it, but It would be an Expensive Exercise Today!! Enjoy your 88 250r One of the Best Ever Made!!👍😉🇺🇸

    Youngins' don't even understand the rawness of these and how that's all everyone rode in our days coming up. Now it's all sissy 4 strokes. I still ride my 05 kx 250. Just did a conversion kit on it last year to bring up to a 19' 👌🏼

      I had 2 of these. Road race motor that we nicknamed the beast. If you can win on this rigid rocket ship today you deserve the medal of honor. Most certainly not even close to being the best bike ever, it's not even close to being the best Honda 250 ever.I would rank the 96 CR as the best Honda 250 ever with the 2000/2001 a close 2nd. 2002 and later YZ 250 puts them all on the trailer.Far closer to being the the best bike made than the first ten aluminum Honda.

More power, Better handling, As nice in the looks department and much much better suspension.

Stronger motor with unbelievable torque for a two stroke, unflappable chassis coupled with great rear suspension.The YZ 250 motor that debuted in 1999 is still powering the 2021 model today.
