1981-82 honda 250r`s let`s see some pics......

[BIG_RED-ICULOUS]

I see lots of pics and articles about 1983 and newer 250r trikes but I don`t see too much about the first generation 250r (81-82). Who out there has some pics of these machines and who has any info to share about modding them...????

[fabiodriven]

I'm sure most guys are sick of seeing the same pics of my R, but you asked for it so I'm posting them.

Mine was not built by me, but by 200Xman (Todd). He did a spectacular job with this machine. It runs flawlessly and goes like a raped-ape. I don't know what condition it was in when he started but here are the mods I can think of off the top of my head-

Hondaline 300cc big bore kit

Full Kerker exhaust

Pro-Tec boost bottle and intake

pod type air filter

Westcoast swingarm

Durablue axle

bigger carb (34mm?) from an 85 R (first-gen R's had a puny 27mm carb I believe)

Works shock

Dirt Works front fender

There may be more done to it, Todd would know better than me. I think the most common and best mods would have to be the carb and pipe. I would do those two first, especially if you happen to come across a machine that still has the original first-gen carb on it.








This one's a video.

WOW very nice indeed, I`ve just picked up a pretty much stock 81 r so now the question is wher do I find some of those performance parts.......

[three_wheelin45]

Ebay is probaly your best bet or you can try the classifides

[fabiodriven]

Oh c'mon guys! I don't have the only first-gen R on here!

Hey Tyson. I have a few.



Had to get my/your tecate in there. Do you know brads phone number?

[thestud25]

That thing is beeeaaaauutiful!!! Is that a CR250r mugen motor? It is the ME360 kit right?

Fabio, you running a Mugen kit on yours?

[f4istunna]

mine when i got it and almost done pic. I got a seat and rear fenders for it now i just gotta put them on and some carb work

[Julle74]

Is that a CR250r mugen motor? It is the ME360 kit right?

Its the Atc motor with counterbalancer. This 82 is a complete former 360 racer exept the topend is missing. When i got her she had a stock topend on and ran decent but dident rev out at all and had bad vibrations, because the bottomend were 360 modified(bored out cases for the bigger sleeve, 4 big balance holes in the crank for the 83,5mm piston and retarded ignition). I now have a Hondaline 300r 77mm bore Trx330 piston modded and ported by Flotek on her, and now the vibes aint noticeble anymore and she revs to the mon. I am looking for a 360 topend for a decent price but ist hard to find. It have Mugen front fork springs and Mugen rearshock ,Mugen vented airboxlid, 360 pipe and exhaustflange, Honda emblem on cases machined of for the Mugen stickers, upgraded(bigger) tankbolts for the 360 headstaybrackets, Mugen clutch springs and even the Gunnar Gasser twist throttle from the 360 stage II kit is still on her. Other rare parts are Calfab +3 swinger, Durablue +4 axle, Dico 8x6inch wide frontrim have the matching rears also, oldschool heelguards. Thanx!
