(see my other auctions for many 1973 CR250 parts). Tis bike has engine# CR250ME-1000971 andframe #CR250M100 965.These numbers jive with all the Elsinore ID info I can find online. I purchased this bike via Bill of Sale at the Barber Vintage Bike Festival in 2013 --I bought the bike from Bob Church of Springfield, issouri --Bob owns a vintage motorcycle business and is very active with the CR250. Buyer gets Bill of Sale from me (not titled).Bob restored the bikeduring 2012 & 2013 and I have receipts from much of what he did. Since I have owned the bike (2013 onward) I have only put about 15 hours on it --not raced, ust trail riding. Here's a list of whatBob did to the bike in 2012 & 2013 as part of his restoration (less than 50 hours ago), ew piston, ings and connecting rod bearing, ew Bridgestone tires (still have many nibs), lutch cable, ase gaskets, oints & condensor, rofessional paint, hain & sprocket, eat cover, wing arm bushing, andlebars, ircle F exhaust pipe, ftermarket Protec chain tensioner. Total cost of foregoing work was $2,100+ and I have receipts for the engine work and ignition work. I added new Progressive Suspension shocks and springs (cost $200) and have only ridden bike once since they were installed - made a world of difference in the ride. (Original shocks are not included, ut are offered for sale in a separate Ebay auction, f you are interested.) I installed new clutch discs, ndreplaced both the intake rubber boot (Honda NOS) and the manifold rubber boot (new repro).I added new air filter element, ewcarb float and installed new front fork springs and rebuilt the kick start pawl, nd installed new case fasteners. New Honda NOS exh springs. New repro kill switch.The bike runs like a scared ape, owever it runs a little rich and would benefit from 1 size smaller jet. Transmission shifts flawlessly with no issues.Brakes are strong. I bought it to ride and enjoy so there are a couple of noteworthy scuffs in the otherwise beautiful paint work (see pics) - one ontail of front fender, nd one behindseat where I stored a tool bag--both these might compound out with a little work. The gas tank is painted silver (not the originalbare finish). The tank hasvery little scuffs and one or two tiny scratches so small theydon't show on pictures.The exh pipe has a dent justbehind thehanger (see pic). The front fork seals need replacingas one side of forks leaksa little when riding. The frame isfree of any cutting or mods. Please email me any questions you have. Paypal or Cash only sale - no cashier's checks, tc.With advance agreement - I might can hold bike for you for a little while provided it's been fully paid for. Pick up only - no shipping. $500 is due within 48 hours of auction close. Bike sold as-is, here-is with no warranty express or implied. Thank you.
