  • Rarely seen in the UK Motorsport 250 Trail
  • Excellent quality authentically restored XL250
  • Supplied with a V5C

Honda was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937 and made their first motorcycle in 1949, within 10 years becoming the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world, going on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers, as well as millions of other power products. Honda always offered a bike to suit every need and the XL range of trail bikes was launched in the early 1970s in answer to the growing demand for dual-purpose models, eventually available in all capacities from 50cc to 750cc. The XL250 Motorsport may have been a top-selling model on both sides of the Atlantic, but very few will have survived the abuse that these bikes normally suffered.

This XL250 is a beautifully presented example of Honda’s iconic trail bike, rarely seen nowadays in this country, but considered by many to be the best of the classic line of four-stroke single-cylinder dual-purpose bikes of the day. The bike was authentically restored to a good standard in 2010, including the correct exhaust system, keeping a good degree of originality; it has not seen much use since then due to the owner's ill-health. Manufactured in 1975, it is registered as Historic on its V5C.
