1986 Honda XL250R

Clear

This Honda has been used primarily as a commuter bike since I've owned it, but has seen the trails too. New fork boots, seals and oil last year. Battery also replaced last year. I replaced the front 12 tooth sprocket with a 13 tooth .it's actually geared too tall for me (200lbs) now. But if you are say a buck & quarter or lighter this gearing should get you some great mpg numbers. I see between 70-75 mpg going back and forth to work. It will make a dash on the freeway, one or two exits. Get small behind the headlight and the speedo needle will just touch 80. (not confirmed with GPS). but it sure feels like 80 ! Also ! this is a kick start only bike. If it is not ridden for a couple of weeks, then plan on 5 minutes of kicking. after it's warmed up or if you just ride it regularly, then it will light off on the first or second crank. You can see a couple of soldering iron crack repairs on the front fender. Everything on the bike works, It is a 25 year old bike, but it has been cared for and maintained. Bridgestone Trail Wing on back is at 50% and Pirelli on front is almost new. Clymer book and original tool kit included.
