Description
1974 Honda MT250 Elsinore 2 Stroke.
Imported from the USA in April 2019 and believe only sold in the USA, launched late 1973 for sale in 1974 to 1976, a road version based on the CR250
Lightly restored by a UK enthusiast, forks rebuilt, new indicators, new rear shocks, engine seals, new clocks (originals included showing 12. 6k miles) starts first time, engine is as tight as a drum to kick over. It has a 2 stroke oil reservoir under the seat so no pre-mixing required, battery free electrical system, key on - choke and kick over, lights and indicators all fully working (as long as the engine is running of course!).
The new old stock (OEM) clocks show 131 miles since I bought it in Apr 2020. The last USA "Title" I have a copy of is for a gentleman in Adams County, Colorado, this shows the year of the bike of 1974 - the sale to him 2nd Feb 1977 by a Yamaha dealership, it was then exported to the UK April 2019, so one owner for most of it's life as far as the paper trail shows.
Tax exempt, age related black silver number plate, Currently SORN.
