Clearly things have progressed down the generations.

Unfortunately I don't own either of these anymore

PE250B with a RM250C exhaust fitted



Purchased new in Dec 1978 and I only sold it about 4 years ago as it had been sitting in my Mothers garage unused since 1980.

My younger brother had a propensity to come home from rides with his bike in this sort of condition.



Forerunner to the PE series. A 1974 TM125 chassis fitted with a similar age TS185 engine. Fully street legal.

Here's my '73 XL250. I'd love to put a MT250 next to it in the garage.

trans with a motor that can pull it.
Look here for a start. http://www.honda-elsinore.com/ Good luck.

Very cool! I had a 1972 XL250 my self! I regret selling it. I traded it straight up for a 1985 RM250. That was a pretty fun motorcycle as well. Those XL250's are great reliable bikes though! I would ride accross the country on one if I could.

Kind of ironic...I spotted this minutes before seeing your post this morning.

That one is a bit nicer ... I'll have about $650 in mine when it's all said and done, chain and sprockets, tires ,bars.. Hell get and let's go riding!!!

Nice 360 ~ Had one back in 79. bought it off my neighbor who tweeked it a bit, bored,piped and diconnected the oil injection. Man what a ride. That thing would pull my arms off, that is, when it wasn't rejecting my knee into the bars after trying to start the beast.
Have fun with that one!!

I found it on holiday in the island of Malta. I wanted to take her home, but I was on an island.

This was taken in the early 80's of me on my Yamaha 250dt.

Loved it. This got me hooked on trail bikes.






Then I got a DR 400 Suzuki outside the family home.



My latest bike is this..............

[tradex56]

nel 1982 io avevo 26 anni e ho comprato il DR 500 S. Mi costava 3.200.000 lire italiane.

Ha! FullBore Boots. (the red white & blue stripes down the front). Had a pair just like them.

I tell ya, the 400 you have now, is one sweet looking ride.

I have one awaiting funds for restoration and it still runs...
I could be convinced to part with it ;)
