1986 250R
1985 200x
Not to hijack your thread but Also since we are on this topic...can any of these motors be moded to fit in a 250r frame. I thought only some years were able to? i know someone here makes frames?
I always heard 85 was such a beast they tamed them down after that
Wikipedia "All Terrain Vehicle" Definition excerpt
Other smaller or lesser known companies, such as Tiger ATV, Franks, and Cagiva, produced racing three wheelers, but in much smaller numbers. Few of these machines are known to exist today and are highly sought by collectors.

I've heard the same thing numerous times. Kinda like the YZ250 from 94, the factory riders were using that cylinder for a couple years. Banshees were the fastest in 87 also, though I believe that had to do with the pipes. As far as putting a CR500 motor in your 250R, it's been done numerous times. Leager's actually used to sell a kit to convert the CR500 into a threewheeler. I think there is an article about that somewhere on this site.

I've always heard the same 85-87. With 86 being the power pinacle. I have a test of all the open bikes of 88 and they make mention numerous times how honda put lots of work into making the CR500 rideable. And the 88 bike has been a success in that department. Smooth, yet still very fast. They new the had to take the edge off, just took a few years to actually do.
not bout being strong, its if you can handle it

yeah i heard they were hard to kick over. 250's use to be hard for me since i weight nothing.
I was always told the 85 was the most powerfull. We called it the "Devils Lightswitch". In 86 they started to smooth them out so they were easier to control. I have ridden many different years and they are all crazy.

In 86 the works ban came into effect.So all the manufactures dumped all the works technolgy into the production bikes.So i would geuss that was the year for a great motor.
