Racer X Films: 1986 Honda CR250 | Garage Build | Rick Johnson | Two-Stroke Motocross
Retro bike builds are difficult and expensive, and this one was no exception. Our friends at Bolt Motorcycle Hardware told us they had a 1986 CR250R that was in pretty good shape. That was such a huge year because it ushered in the production rule for professional racing, and Honda had Rick Johnson and David Bailey under their tent—two of the most amazing riders and personalities this sport has ever seen. How about building this 86 Honda back up? That’s what we did!
