The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products.
The XLR250 Baja was made especially for the Japanese domestic market where there is a lot of interest in the classic American desert races. Based on the XR250 Enduro bike, it sports the same RFVC radial four-valve head and a similar chassis but with better lighting. This rare bike was imported into the UK a couple of years ago and has been used by the vendor for some trail riding last summer. It comes supplied with an MOT until 30-09-23 and a current V5C.
