In this sale is a 1974 Honda MR50 Elsinore dirt bike. This bike is in excellent condition, it runs and rides. It is very clean, the carb was cleaned recently and the bike fired right up. It rides and shifts through all three gears. The bike has new tires on it and a perfect seat. The bike is mechanically sound, it will take very little to have this bike in perfect condition. The only things I see wrong with it is the throttle handle where the cable comes in is broken but you can see in the pictures is held up and actually works but would need fixed to make it perfect and the chain case on the lower part of the engine is broken but does not affect the riding of the bike. It also needs the stickers that originally came on the bike. Other than those minor things all of which can be purchased for minimal cost on eBay this is a very nice bike to ride or add to a collection. This bike does not come with a title. It is being sold with a Bill of Sale ONLY! Please contact me to arrange payment! The buyer is responsible for shipping the bike, I will make sure to get it to the shipper on my end but it is your responsibility to make the arrangements to have this bike shipped. I will only hold the bike for 7 days from the time of purchase. After 7 days you can either pay a storage fee of $10 per day or forfeit winning bid. The Honda MR50 Elsinore is an off-road mini cycle made by Honda. It was manufactured in Japan by Honda and imported first to Australia and the United States in 1974 and continued to be available in the USA, Canada and Australia until production was discontinued in 1975. It was patterned after the CR125 and CR250 Elsinores. Sometimes referred to as the Baby Elsinore, like its big brothers it had spoke wheels, knobby tires, and plastic fenders. The engine was a 49 cc (3.0 cu in), air-cooled, two-stroke with 3 speed manual clutch transmission. Starting was primary kick with the starter on the right side of the bike. The bike used conventional controls just like larger models. The shift pattern was neutral at the bottom and 3 up. Lubrication was premix at 25:1. The exhaust had a spark arrestor. The ignition used points. Parents could limit the speed the rider could go by placing a screw in 1 of 4 throttle stops on the throttle.The 1974 model serial number begins MR50-100XXXX and was equipped with orange fenders and the fuel tank was orange with a black center stripe outlined with a black pinstripe. The 1975 model serial number begins MR50-200XXXX and sports red fenders with the more traditional Honda Elsinore silver tank with a red center stripe outlined with a black pinstripe. Many 1975 models were left over on showroom floors in the US longer than the 1975 season.
