Therefore, I added Two Other of my 2 other Vintage Bikes (the Suzuki's a 1967 305cc X6 Twin & the 1971 TS 400 Enduro) to be put in instead in "The WORLDS LARGEST MOTORCYCLE SHOW" On EARTH ...The Los Angeles Area "Progressive Cycle Worlds MC Show" in our Coveted "VINTAGE JAPANESE Motorcycle Clubs" Booth ! ! ! ! ! ! This year out of the 10 bikes chosen to be in our VJMC Booth I still had "3" of our Vintage bikes (We would have had 5 of the 12) present at the V.J.M.C. booth this year alone !!!.. This auctions Twin little Brother = a 1974 Honda Elsinore CR 125 tribute (Replica) (Built from a 1977 CR 125M HONDA RACING ELSINORE as shown above) , a Yellow 73' SUZUKI 400 ENDURO & a 1966 the Candy Pearly Tangerine SUZUKI 305 X6 Twin SUZUKI's one of the first Japanese SUPER BIKEs...Therefore, Our bikes were 3 of the 10 of the10 Bikes that Were chosen to be in our VJMC Clubs Booth this Year ! ! Over the past 5 years I have had 15 Bikes in the Famed VJMC Clubs Booth "In this "WORLDS LARGEST M/C" Show Alone" ! So Yes! the bike you are Bidding on is the twin Bigger & BETTER brother of the Bike Pictured Below & Above in Our VJMC Clubs Booth ..I know ..(Trust me My Mechanic & I built all three of these 1974 HONDA ELSINORE Replica Tribute Bikes) !!!!!! (PLEASE NOTE:I am losing my Storage & All 3 of my Above mentioned 3 bikes were already up on ebay & have already sold) ! <>Also, I consider a CR250M HONDA ELSINORE a FAR More desirable Vintage Racing Bike PAPER WORK:I will be glad to provide a "California Department of Motor Vehicles" NOTARIZED "Vehicle Transfer of Ownership" Bill of Saleeuiv. from myself to the New Owner of this Wonderful Bike to the new owner. Which I am told is how Most Race Cars, Track Vintage Racing motorcycles, Show & Display Bikes etc etc are typically transferred here in California etc Here is some More GREAT NEWS ! ....YES! I have the DMV Computer Print Out on This Wonderful Bike & it shows that She is 100% Free & 100% Clear of ANY and ALL back fees, 100% Free & 100% Clear of any and all back registrations & 100% Free & Clear of any and all back penalties as she has been in storage so long (Over 25 years) that she is 100% off the DMV system at this time. Included with This Wonderful Bike...I will be including a California DMV (NOTARIZED) "Transfer of Ownership" ("Notarized" Equiv. of a Bill of Sale) from myself to you the new owner.. which from what I hear is what you will need for "Vintage Motocross" Track racing here in California neighboring states, & should be what you need to register it... if you live outside of California you may want to check with your particular state just to be sure. ... If you just want to Vintage Race o Show Bike Etc, Etc. bike... the "NOTARIZED" DMV "Transfer of Ownership"" should be all you will need...Again, YES ! ..I will also include the California Department of Motor Vehicles Current DMV Computer Print Out on this Wonderful Bike that shows & Proves that because this Beauty was in Covered Dry Storage for the past aprox. Nearly THREE Decades & because of this... (after typically aprox.10 years here in California) there are No current DMV Computer records (WHICH IS REALLY GOOD NEWS) on this Wonderful bike as she will be Free & Clear of any and all Back fees & Penalties ertc etc & therefore there should be NO back fees and NO back taxes etc etc. etc. owed on this Wonderful 250cc Vintage MX Racer. If you live inside California & If you race Vintage Bike Meets on Private MotoCross Tracks or (Vintage Bike Shows etc) the Notarized Calif. DMV " Transfer of Vehical Ownership form" I believe is all you will need. (Vehicles that are NOT intended for street use & or on use on National Forestry Land / Government Owned Desert Land etc etc) Keep in mind this is a VINTAGE Moto-Cross Race Bike that is intended for use on Private Moto-Cross Race Courses etc etc) so normal DMV paperwork is a "moot point" (un necessary).for a Vintage Racing MX Motorcycle..(IE) This Bike was Originally Designed & intended by HONDA MX Racer to race on Privately Owned Professional Moto-Cross Tracks. Therefore, Again Moto-Cross Racing Bikes being used on privately owned Race Bikes Typically in this area I have been told get transferred from owner to owner.. with a "NOTARIZED" California DMV "Transfer of Ownership" Form which I will have NOTARIZED & will provide for the new owner upon funding of this Wonderful Bike.If you live in Calif. & if you for some reason want to get a Use this on Government national forestry land etc You can put the bike back in the system again to get a Off Highway Green Sticker for the use of this bike on Government National Forest or Desert land use or something? ("which this VINTAGE RACE BIKE was never intended to be used on") ?? (as this is a Vintage MX Track Racing Bike) Please email me & & I will explain how easy it will be to get that done.. Please email me "BEFORE you purchase this bike"...again (this should not effect this bike if you live out of state ..again as this this is a VINTAGE MX Racing Bike that is intended to be used on Typically PRIVATELY Owned etc Moto-Cross Tracks or Classic Car & Vintage Cycle Events etc etc so all should be good..Basically like a Race car, Dragster , NASCAR etc Legend Race Car (or even a Go Kart etc etc) ) (IE) this was designed to be raced on Typically Privately Owned MX Tracks. So the Notarized California DMV Transfer of Vessel or Vehicle Form Should be what you need, Again Please check on your area LONG before you bid...Thank You for your interest in this Wonderful Vintage Racer. I have Many other 1966-81 Vintage bikes in My Collection that I now need to also sell out so please keep an eye for my upcoming Ebay auctions. Also Keep in mind A Nice Example of one of a 1973 or 1974 HONDA ELSINORE CR 125M (NOT THE MORE VALUABLE CR 250 ) about 4 years ago NADA.com Value Guide (Blue Books) for approx $8,000.00 "NOW IT IS 10,000.00 AT THIS TIME ...So these have really Moved up...& also PLEASE NOTE: about 4 years ago in "Motorcycle Action" Magazine there was a Big Article on these BEAUTIFUL "Vintage Racing CR 125M HONDA "ELSINOREs" Which they Stated a Nice example of a 1973-4 HONDA CR 125M RACING ELSINORE would Worth More like $9,000.00 or $10,000.00 for a Nice Example of a 73-74 HONDA Elsinore CR 125M...(& AGAIN.& Again, I would estimate These Bikes Have Definitely Gone Up Since Then SIGNIFICANTLY) * * * IF YOU ARE A "VINTAGE RACER" The GREAT News is ...This auctions bike being Made from a 1975 HONDA CR 250M ELSINORE Honda Redesigned to have Better Air Adjustable Suspension & More Suspension Travel" as a 1973-1974 CR 250 ELSINORE & I have been told these 1975's have a Better "Power Band" than the earlier 73's & 74 CR250 etc etc etc So "This auctions 1975 CR 250 SHOULD BE THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS" ..Also, My Reserve is Well under HALF of what the NADA.com value guide Books for a nice example of a 1974 or even a 1975 CR250M as well ( & I think the 75's & 1976 & later CR's were super ugly in their faded punkin like orange/red paint everywhere....The updated CR 250 Elsinore's had everything going for her..Except looks < <"THEREFORE THIS AUCTIONS BIKE Should Be THE VERY BEST OF ALL WORLDS" ! ! !>> ..As you can see we definitely fixed that with this Very Wonderful & AMAZINGLY STUNNING Bike !.... "She Is Like the Best of All Worlds" & a 1975 Should be FASTER on a TRACK & FAR with it's FAR More Advanced longer travel Air Forks & Upgraded Rear TWIN Shocks etc ..More Comfortable to Ride VINTAGE RACING Bike & AGAIN...the best part is this bike is...She is the very best of Both Worlds (STUNNING Vintage 1973-4 ELSINORE "Looks" & SUPERIOR 1975 Upgraded Air Suspension & Updated Chassis!! & Improved Powerband) !!! & My Buy it Now price is a small fraction of the estimated values for these bikes (1973-1974 CR 250's ) & I do not think you will be able to locate one of these that looks this nice & with so little use on her !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >>* * * Auction Bidding Rules * * * ..Please Read Before Bidding..

In the past I have had a lot of emails with shipping quotes all over the map...Therefore, When you try and Get a Shipping Quote... I would try & get several (many) shipping quotes (& get a estimated pick up date in writing) before you commit or finalize a deal & or make a deposit) with a shipper... as one of the last bikes I sold out of our collection went to North Carolina via USHIP.COM, (which is about 3,000 miles from here)...it was a 1975 YAMAHA 400 Enduro which weights nearly about DOUBLE of what this auctions Magnificent 1975 HONDA ELSINORE CR 250 Vintage Racing bike Beauty Weights ( I would estimate only about 175 pounds!!!) & he was only charged about 350 US dollars a few months ago...I think ebay may have a shipping site, but if you want a very competitive rate I would go thru Uship.com & get "LOTS OF BIDS" the first bids you will receive will most likely be the highest $$ quotes that you will receive...Also, Please Keep in mind, I live Very Close to the Central Business Hub of Los Angeles & Also the Los Angeles (Long Beach Harbor) areas & Millions of Trucks leave this area every day all you need to do is find a truck that has a little space & that is headed in your direction & I am sure the price would be a lot better for you than if you deal with some trucker that is not !
