This Honda XL 250 has recently been owned by an enthusiast who sadly now needs to part with it due to ill health. The engine was rebuilt by Sapphire Motor Cycles of Kendal, Cumbria in 2020 and has yet to be run in, though has been started at regular intervals. It benefits from new chains and tyres, the vendor has avised us the engine and five-speed gearbox as ‘excellent’, the suspension as ‘good’, the red paintwork as ‘average to good’, and the frame as ‘average’. The machine comes complete with electric start and some history, including invoices for the engine work.

Famed for the quality and innovation of its multi-cylinder engines, Honda took the motorcycle world somewhat by surprise when it produced the single-cylinder four-stroke 250cc unit used for the XL250, which therefore became not only the first modern four-stroke enduro bike, but the first mass-produced four–valve motorcycle. Production of the popular 24hp Honda began in 1972 and, courtesy of regular tweaks to the specification continued throughout most of the ‘80s.
