The CR250 is a dirt bike legend. I had a 1980 CR250 Elsinore many moons ago.

The Honda CR250 Elsinore was first introduced in 1973. It was Honda's first production motocross bike and quickly became popular because it was lightweight in its day and had a powerful two-stroke engine.

The last year of production for the Honda CR250R two-stroke was 2007. By 2007, four-stroke engines had become more popular in motocross racing due to advancements in four-stroke engines and Honda no longer saw the need to continue producing the two stroke CR250's.

The top speed of those final 2007 Honda CR250R's could vary depending on several factors, including rider's weight, how flat the terrain is, and modifications to the bike. However, in general, the top speed of a stock 2007 Honda CR250R is generally around 75 miles per hour (approx. 120 kilometers per hour).

This speed makes the CR250R one of the faster motocross bikes of its time, thanks to its powerful two-stroke Honda engine and its light-weight design and construction.

The color schemes of the CR250's were modified over the years. The original Elsinore was mainly silver with a green stripe on the tank and a polished aluminum frame. For the remainder of the 1970's and the 1980s, they had red and white color schemes. The red plastic fenders and side panels became more prominent during these years.

In the 1990's, the bikes were usually a combination of red and white, with white number plates and red plastic parts and Honda began to introduce some bold graphics. Mostly the primary colors remained red and white though.

The CR250R models of the 2000's continued to be predominantly red, which is the trademark color for Honda's motocross lineup. The frame during these years was typically black or silver, and the number plates were still white.

Different colored aftermarket plastics became available for anyone who wanted to deviate from the "Honda Red".
