Honda CR series

Marty Smith, Jeremy McGrath, Ricky Carmichael and many other motocross legends dominated racing circuits on Honda CR's.

CR's continue competing today and are prized by racing enthusiasts and collectors alike.

The race was featured in the classic 1971 sports documentary "On Any Sunday," starring Steve McQueen, Malcolm Smith and Mert Lawwill.

Offered at a low price of $749,[6] it had a top speed of 60 mph and was equipped with a two-stroke 123 cc (7.5 cu in) air cooled motor.

In, 1978 Honda launched the CR125 Red Rocket Elsinore; a rare bike very well built equipped with a 6-speed transmission, it can be recognized by the expansion chamber on the front of the cylinder where the exhaust is to be attached.

[9] Between then and 1990 the CR250R had minor changes such as hydraulic rear brake, Showa front suspension, and a bigger carburetor.

In 1992, the CR250R was given a newer, more aggressive design, but a disadvantage was the amount of power the new engines were producing in relation to the weak steel frame.

In 2002, the only real change was the bike was made faster and lighter and the electronic power valve and third-generation aluminum frame.

In addition to the extra gear, 1983 saw several major changes from the 1982 model, and although they appear similar, virtually no parts interchange.

Due to the lack of product development, the last Honda CR 500's sold were nearly identical to the 1993 model.
