Not sure but I feel like there's a lot of "stiff springs" popping up in that shop.

Nuclear Red. I saw a mint 94 250 at the track about a month ago. I wish someone made plastic in that color for new bikes.

Was it 93 or 94 that they were neon pink?


1992 was the year of the pink CR. It started out sort of neon pink and after a few hours in the sun faded to a funky salmon color. In 93 and 94. Honda added more orange back to the red and by 94 it looked pretty sweet.

As a kid I really was fond of this design and color as well....I may try to get a 91 CR500 and restore it.
