Vintage Dirt Bike Q & A

Hi,I have just bought a CR250 here in Australia in roadracing trim and it`s frame No.is CR250M 1000215,all the info I have seen states that they started at 1000216.It was obtained by someone working for Honda at the time and is fitted with a race kit from a CB350R.It has no engine No.and looks like it has never had one.Any ideas? Thanks Peter.

I think you are probably right about the frame serial number. Maybe a frame built before production began. As far as the engine case serial number, I don't believe replacement cases or engines have serial number stamped on them. So maybe an earlier owner purchased a new set of cases or a new engine from Honda somewhere along the way.

hi
i looked at that on ebay and it must be made up from bitts lying around at honda aust.i have no 709 honda and it came from texas.my mate who races his cr250 he has had since new is after mine the no and he had 1 of the first bikes shipped to australia as his dad owned a large honda bike shop in sydney.
