This is a 2006 Honda CR250R, frame-up restored and ready to ride or display, considered by many to be the pinnacle of Honda’s two-stroke development. The 2005–2007 generation featured major improvements in frame design, suspension, and engine refinement over the earlier ’02–’04 models. By 2006, Honda had perfected the legendary RC Valve two-stroke engine, creating one of the best 250cc motocross machines ever built.

This example has been completely rebuilt from the frame up, with the engine and chassis gone through in detail by Kaplan Cycles veteran CR specialist Chris “The Wizard” Kelly — a master Honda technician with over 50 years of two-stroke experience. The result is a no-excuses, 10/10 machine that is ready for racing, collecting, or museum display.

📜 Provenance & Builder

This restoration was performed by Chris “The Wizard” Kelly, who has been building, tuning, and racing Honda CRs since they were Elsinore 2-strokes in the early 1970s. With 50 years of hands-on CR experience, Chris knows these machines inside and out. Every nut, bolt, and part was either replaced, restored, or refinished properly. This bike was done right — a no-excuses build.
