Honda CR 250 R

Honda revised the CR250M and renamed it the CR250R, the 'R' stands for 'Replica'. Considered one of the best motocross motorcycles of all time.

Honda introduced a new suspension. The 1984 model had a new hydraulic front disc brake, and a new exhaust valve.

The CR250R was given a newer, more aggressive design, but a disadvantage was the amount of power the new engines were producing in relation to the weak steel frame. Many riders advised Honda to change the frame to something stronger.

The aluminum frame was introduced. Many racers liked this frame but the bike was not selling to casual desert riders, so Honda undertook a redesign and

Introduced an improved aluminum frame.

The only real change was the bike was made faster and lighter and the electronic power valve and third-generation aluminum frame. It had a five-speed transmission with Showa suspension and a two-gallon fuel tank.

Honda announced that they would cease production of two-strokes after that year.
