Yep, I'm positive. Julius has two photos in his in box. One is a pic of my bike, and the other is from the 76 CR125/250 Honda brochure. You'll know the brochure pic from the amazing photo quality.

There aren't a lot of them, and god help you if you ever need parts. I know this all too well having dragged mine out of a field, along with a 74 MT250.

Let's not forget the other lesser known Elsinore, the MR175 and MR250. It was basically a CR frame and suspension with an MT lower end and a CR top end. Street legal if you wanted too!

The 75 model had a up pipe ,I had the first one in Tennessee and it broke my wrist for me,blew my buddy`s knee out for him. The third owner in it`s first month laid down the shocks to get to handle,didn`t work.

TX Vintage..could you email me those pics at "michael.mclellan@japan.pfizer.com" ?

I have never seen a 76 CR250, honest.

thanks,

mike
