1978 Honda CR

We are excited to offer this exceptional fully restored 1978 Honda CR250 AHRMA Post Vintage MX bike. The 78 Honda CR250 is one of the finest MX bikes ever made - and this one is exceptional! This is a very nice example of an original low time bike that we have done a full cosmetic and full mechanical restoration on. The bike came from a private collector in West Virginia as a complete running project that he was not going to be able to get to. Help me prove a point as to why a high end restoration is most all of the time not a money making proposition. Here is a complete list of parts / labor from a retail standpoint / including shipping for the parts.......... Purchase complete running core bike at a reasonable price - $1,000 Transport home core bike - $250 Labor for complete resto and engine rebuild - 40 hours - $25 an hour = $1,000 New glossy plastic kit - $250 New seat cover - $35 Tank refinished - $300 New decals and backgrounds - $50 New DG pipe and silencer - $300 New bars / levers / perches / grips and gold series chain - $150 New Michelin Tires / Tubes - $150 New Buchannan spokes/ nipples - $200 New Twin Air Filter - $50 New Fork wipers - $25 New Wiseco piston - $150 Cylinder replate - $150 New crank bearings / seals - $50 New complete gasket kit - $50 New billet rear axle / nut / chain adjusters - $150 New wheel bearings - $50 New throttle / throttle cable / clutch cable / brake cable - $100 Clean used FOX Air Shocks - $350 Rebuild Fox Air Shocks - $300 For seals - $15 Paint / supplies / hardware - $50 Ok so now we have done a very nice high end restoration - and we agree all the prices above are pretty much spot on - we have a grand total investment of $5,175 if I have added correctly. (feel free to double check my math) Now the bid starts at $500 - lets see how we do. Just in case there are any SERIOUS buyers reading this - the reserve is placed at $2950 - I sure hope it brings more. If you want to discuss a BUY IT NOW price feel free to email me or give me a call........... We have a stock restored 1978 Honda CR250 as well - take a look at our other auctions!! We have other vintage MX bikes listed!! Take a look at our other auctions!! We offer amazing rates for shipping both internationally and domestic. Domestic shipments are moved via enclosed trailer and fully insured - normally a 2 week window. International shipments are crated and insured for your safety and run 4-6 weeks from port to port. Again these are rough estimates. International buyers - we can handle transport to to most anywhere in the world - you are responsible for any customs duties or import tax. We can crate and ship to the port in the UK for $750 and $995 to the AUS ports. These are 30-40+ year old vintage dirt bikes. The original manufacturers didn't warranty them when they were new, so neither will I. Every used vintage dirt racing motorcycle, whether it has been restored or not, will ALWAYS need SOMETHING adjusted, tweaked, modified, replaced, repaired by YOU before you ride or race it. Since no bike is perfect, please be reasonable and understand this before bidding. Thanks for looking and feel free to take a look at our other vintage and post vintage MX bike auctions!
