- Holy smokes, folks.
I have not gotten a deal like this in years! I drove 2 hours on New Years Eve to pick up a very ‘well loved’ 1993 Honda CR250 with a secondary blown motor and a slew of other dirt gear for a cool $800!
Once I got it home and tore the bike down a bit, I was absolutely shocked what I found! This CR250 is a serious diamond in the rough in some ways and a complete turd in others! I’m going to keep the frame and attempt to title it, but I’m going to most likely sell the other parts I don’t need and throw the engine on my shelf for safe keeping! I’ve got a 94 CR250 I’m about halfway done restoring that a lot of these 93 parts will go on!
Happy New Years!

Had a 93 back in 93 and I loved it. Bought what was supposed to be a trashed 93 for $800 couple years ago; no title. Scraped the paint off the frame and ran VIN turned out to be a 92. Now in the sloooow process of a full restoration... just about everything needs replacing, but still a fun process to go from old junk to almost good as new. Hope you do something cool with your 93, I'll def keep watching.
Awesome! I heard they turn on a dime and have the perfect amount of flex to the frame. There a 94 in the works currently, but I’m gonna restore the 93 as well! Gonna file for lost title and jump through those fun hoops 😅 thanks for watching!
@@jimmy_dirtbike They do turn, well suited for SX/AX tracks, but they suffer from bad head shake causing serious arm pump by second lap. I remember all the CR guys adding steering dampeners for moto and enduros. Lots of power down low, good mid, flatter on top. My best like on the 93 cr250 was all the great memories. Can wait to see your final result! As long as you have fun can't go wrong.
I had a 2001 CR250 awhile back that suffered the same headshake... It was a reason why I opted to sell it and pick up a YZ250x because I was also using it as a woods bike. Terrible one at that... It looped me last January for the 100th time on a steep hill and I was just over it. I got a framed 97 cr125 for the Broke 2 Built contest last year and after riding it, I am in love with the steel framed CRs so I'm really hoping this CR is a weapon on the local MX track! Thanks for sharing your input dude, I really appreciate what the guys who were riding them in the 90s have to say! @@darkenedskiesahead3670
@@jimmy_dirtbike how much you sell me that extra engine you have

Funny, as soon as you started draining that fuel I thought to myself 'Doesn't look like there's any oil in there'. 😄
Also I was becoming intrigued as to what was under that car cover behind you. The peek of the mag at the front and those curves under the cover were appealing.
1966 Chevelle SS
Yeah that’s a pj carb 😂 try pwk love how the kid was trying to hype it up. And you crushed his dreams
We’ll that’s a nice little new year treat to pick this bad boy up for 800 bucks haha nice score bud
I agree! Aside from a semi-awkward transaction, the bike is a beast!
Definitely no oil in that gas 😂
Haha not much if any! I shipped this cylinder to a guy in Australia though and he’s thrilled with it!
Wow, that carb was surprisingly clean! Congrats gettin’ her fired up! Amazon ignition…wow, never would have guessed.
Same! Thought for sure it was a fake carb and filthy dirty!
Yea buddy! Saving another one
Amazing how durable these old Hondas are!! Looks like Ass, runs like deer 😂 should be their new slogan
If I was a betting man, I would say there is not a drop of oil in that gas😅
Yeah dude! Lol I keep my mixed gas in a white translucent VP Jug and Yamalube is purple so it makes it easy to spot!
If there’s oil in that gas it must be 10w30 Quakerstate gold colored lol😂
@@djantix1200 😂 this
I use maxima and you can't tell it's got oil in it my bike doesn't even smoke scares me sometimes 😮
It's maxima oil dude
I wouldn't sell the extra bottom end how much they case and how hard they are to find its definitely a part worth hanging on to for just in case
9 of 10 times, I would 100% agree with you, but since this video was posted, I’ve rebuilt the 94 cr250 engine 100%. New everything. I also have a brand new 93 engine on the shelf as well waiting to be swapped into my 94 if and when it blows up. Thanks for reminding me to make some CR250 content! My 94 is pretty close to done.
I mean it's not bad for 800. Between the engine suspension and wheels you got your moneys worth
I taught Smash how to do most of this stuff. 😊
One brand of Amsoil 2 stroke oil is light colored (gold). W hen its mixed you can't tell if the gas has any oil in it. More than I time couldn't remember if I had added oil to my jug. I stopped using it because of that an use Amsoil dominator which mixes red.
I can see why you’d switch! If that gas was mixed with oil, I sure couldn’t tell. I didn’t trust the previous owner to mix it correctly anyhow. He gave me all his dirt bike gear with the bike and I didn’t get a mixing cup so 😅😂 I mix Yamalube (dark purple) in a white VP jug so I know I’m using the right stuff!
When that thing fired up, I was shocked but at the same time not. Mr. Honda wasn’t messing around. This might as well have been an ATC 110 sitting under water for 8 years.
Facts! I wish Mr. Honda would’ve let us keep the CRs after 07 though! Honda reliability is not a myth!
Great video!!!
Thanks man! I’m knuckle deep in tearing the engine down as we speak! New video will be dropping soon with that 😀
Everyone doesn’t have sponsors or an endless budget to rebuild a bike. All you did was pick apart the bike. He did the best he could ! I would give my left nut for what you call a clapped out bike. I work everyday & can’t afford one. You paid $800 what did you expect ?
Thanks for your input… Not really sure what you’re bent out of shape about. Have you ever tried to buy a used dirt bike? Most of the time they’ve been ridden into the ground. I gave him more than what it was worth.
I have a 1993 Honda cr250 and I paid $400 for it and everything was in boxes. That's a damn good bike. It's a 93 not a 2024.
Bargin for 800👍🏽fuel looks unmixed and flat
Yep! My thoughts exactly!!
Vegetable oil maybe lol

🇨🇦 new subby love the channel!
Much appreciated! Happy New Year man!
@@jimmy_dirtbike happy new year aswell 👍
Why would anyone care about a title on a dirtbike? I see people on FB talking about this but what purpose would it serve? If the bikes in my hands it’s mine just like this bottle of Diet Coke I’m drinking. My bikes are NEVER going to ride the street so no need to register the bike for anything. Never understood that.
I agree. Places like Alabama don’t even issue them. Washington and Idaho where I live is pretty strict regardless of whether the bike is ridden on road or not. You can’t even register a dirt bike without a title in Washington state in fact nor does Washington recognize you as the true owner. It’s fairly easy to turn a dirt bike into a plated bike though. Idaho is more relaxed being that you can register it for off road without a title, but they don’t recognize you as the true owner if you sell it. What it comes down to is did the state get paid on the sale and if it gets stolen, you can report it as such and have a slightly better shot at getting it back. Again, I agree with you 100%!
I swear to god that’s my old bike the guy I sold it to must of trashed it cause it was in a lot better condition then that
Part of the country do you live? It’s bored out to 38.4mms and sleeved
@@jimmy_dirtbike I live in Idaho I’m 99.9% sure that’s my old bike
@@IdahoDirtBiker9908 hmm, he told me it came from the Seattle area. But, maybe! It’s already torn down in boxes. The takasago wheels are destroyed, but my buddy put the rims on his YZ250 ironically. Another friend needs to frame. What’s funny is I took the VIN to my local Honda dealer and they cannot see where the bike was sold originally.. Mystery bike.
sub from meee👍
Thank you sir!
