When Honda introduced its first two-stroke,
the Elsinore'" CR-250M, early in 1973, it immediately established its winning ways. With
different riders aboard, the CR-250M won the
National AMA, the Trans AMA 250cc Motocross
Cha mp ionships and the prestigious Superbowl
of Motocross in Los Angeles. That could be why
Motorc yclist named it "o ff-roa d motorcycle of
the year."
Shortly after the b ig Elsin ore's introduction,
Honda brought out its younger brother-the
CR-125M Elsin ore. Riders in the 125cc class who
wanted a lightweight, powerful and dependable motocrosser at a great price started racing
the 125. And, as nov ice and e xpert race results
fro m all over the country testify, the y also
started w inning.
But Honda didn't stop w ith two of the
lightest, most powerful two-stroke motocrossers
on the market; they wanted that superior twostroke technolog y to reach a w ider audience.
Result : the MT-125 and MT-250 Elsinore - twostroke enduros with on / off-road capabilities.
The MT's are anything but mod ified CR s.
Honda doesn't work that way. Instea d , they took
the basic Elsinore engine and built around it
two rugged enduro machines. Hea vy-d uty
suspensions. Fla t, dirt-riding torque curves.
Raised exhaust pipes. USDA-approved spa rk
arrestor/mufflers. And w ider-ratio gearing for
road as well as rough.
The next two-stroke Honda introduced was
for the benefit of younger enthusiasts-the
MR-50 mini-motocrosser. Co mpletely designed
with the smaller rider in mind, the streamlined
MR has special, easy-to-operate controls for
sma ll hands and feet. And, for the safety of the
young riders and the peace-of-mind of their
parents, Honda developed a four-position,
adjustable throttle stop so the maximum power
output can be set to the rider's ability.
