  • Honda XL250R 4-stroke trail bike
  • Offered in nice original condition
  • Supplied with US Title and NOVA

The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The XL range of four stroke trail bikes was Hondas answer to the growing demand for enduro style road bikes, available in all capacities from 50cc through to 750cc.

This XL250S has been part of a large and fascinating collection of bikes ranging from the 1980s up until the early 2000s. The vendor has enjoyed searching out examples of more or less all of the bikes he either owned or wanted in the day, but after amassing over 30 assorted models from a Honda MT50 through to a couple of Bimotas he's decided to downsize his collection. The XL spent the first 20 years of its life in the State of Ohio before being imported into the UK in 2000, and whilst not registered it comes supplied with a US Title and a NOVA Ref. No. 21E147263. Presented in good original trim, it's rare to find one that has not suffered years of off road use and abuse.
