how's it going everyone. I just picked up an 83 cr250 that i'm restoring. i thought someone had painted the engine, but after taking a better look, it's a factory coat. i googled it to see if it was anything special, but all i seemed to find was air-cooled ones, from the 79. nothing on the 83...could someone please shed some light on this for me and tell me what i have exactly? much thanks |

Red? Black? What about silver? Oh never mind, I can't get the photo to upload that would have made sense out of that. |

Keep in mind that just because the engine is red doesn't automatically means it's an '81 model. Someone could have painted the '83 model's engine red. |
