Tamiya Honda 250R Moto-Cross

This has taken me about a week to build, box stock.....

Nice Pat.  I had an older air-cooled 125R growing up.  Never raced it just used it for trail riding.

Great job Pat!

Sure wish Tamiya would reissue the complete series of 1/12 dirtbikes...

Very nice looking bike.

Thanks guys. Our youngest son ran a Honda 50R when he was 12, I used to test it of course!

Good looking build Patrick. The last Honda 50 I rode was a 50 C110 - It's been a while 

[PatW]

Thanks Ed, yes I think most of us have ridden a Honda dirtbike at some stage!

[Agent G]

That is sweet!

I was a Yamaha guy. But owned several Honda street bikes.

Thanks Wayne, yes we've also had '70's Bultaco trials bikes.

I scored two Hodaka's back in the day from a friend who was moving. I used the parts from both to build what I called a "Super Duper Combat Wombat" . Boy when it was running right it was a screamer.

   Patrick, the Honda 50 C110 wasn't quite what one called a Dirt Bike even though that's where I learned to ride one 2 or 3" of front suspension travel and maybe 2 more inchs in the rear. The upside was they were Almost indestructible.

Yes Ed I remember those here in the UK, they were possibly the first Honda's to come into the UK!

[Roadrunner]

Very nice.

[PatW]

Thanks Kevin, it's a shame that there are so few Moto-X & Trials bikes produced.

I like it Pat.  My first bike was a 74 CR 250 Elsinore so I am fond of Hondas and have owned several but now ride Yamaha/KTM because they still make 2 strokes. 

[PatW]

Thanks Steve, yes the 4 strokes have nearly taken over!
