  • The definitive four stroke ‘enduro’ 

The Appeal 

It all began here. The world of cross-over enduro bikes started with Honda’s simple yet utterly capable XL250. A narrow frame, pokey 4valve engine and versatile suspension created a legend. 
For all those reasons the XL250 is now highly collectable. Good, original bikes like this one are a rare find, particularly with just two registered keepers from new. It is in excellent finished, resprayed in Custom Silver Metallic just like the 72/73 bikes and with recent light mechanical fettling. 
This classic bike would grace any collection, but perhaps the first thing any buyer will want to do is get out and enjoy it.
