The Appeal

The Honda CBR250 Four is one of the most highly regarded small-capacity motorcycles of its era. Its inline four-cylinder engine, featuring gear-driven twin cams, 16 valves, and a 17,000 RPM redline, represents a remarkable level of engineering for a quarter-litre machine. The pre-restriction MC14 engine variant, as offered here, is particularly sought after among enthusiasts.

This 1986 example has covered an indicated 6,589 km and is offered with an advisory-free MOT valid until July 2027. The vendor describes it as being in very good condition and completely standard, presenting an opportunity to acquire a well-preserved, unmolested example of Honda's celebrated small-bore sportsbike.
