ATTENTION COLLECTORS!! It’s time to relive your childhood memories and make some new ones! Up for auction is a beautiful, all original 1974 Honda MR50 Elsinore. This 2 owner bike is a true survivor that has been sitting in a collection for 35+ years. It starts right up, shifts, and runs excellent. It wasn’t raced, it wasn’t abused, and it has not been restored. This little Elsinore is complete and original down to the grips, tires, and even side panel decal! The plastics, fuel tank, paint and chrome all look outstanding. There is not any rust in or outside of the tank. The seat still looks new. Original parts are getting harder and harder to find and prices are only going up. As you can see in the detailed pictures, this bike is in great shape and it will be difficult to find an original MR50 in this condition again. This will be an excellent investment and addition to your collection. The Honda MR50 Elsinore is an off-road mini cycle that 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 an allen screw in 1 of 4 throttle stops on the throttle. This was the first bike of many supercross champions! Please do not bid if you do not intend to buy and feel free to ask any and all questions. See detailed pictures provided and if you need more, I am willing to take additional or show the bike in person. I would also be happy to take a video of the bike running. This bike is for local pickup only. Shipping IS NOT included and would be 100% buyer's responsibility. Once payment is received, I will store the bike at no charge (up to two weeks unless otherwise agreed upon) until you pick up or arrange for shipping. This bike is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early. This bike will be sold with a Bill of Sale (no title issued with this bike).
