My latest project is rebuilding this 1999 Honda CR250.
Will be a ride bike, so have not gone completely into a full resto, but replaced what was needed and added some Haan Wheels etc.
Getting close to finish, not decided on the exhaust yet.

a few photos of the process:

Very nice! I've always wanted to ride one of these generation Honda's. Everyone bitches about them, but I wonder if they do that because that's what the magazines said.

Yeah, I was wondering the same. I bought it and tore it down before even riding it, so I really look forward to ride it.
I used Motocross Action Magazine inside secrets of the 1999 CR250 as a reference for setting it up, so I think it will be good.

Love it. To me they've always been the most beautiful CR250s ever.

I rode a buddies 99 CR125 about 10 years ago. It was the most rigid and harsh dirt bike I’ve ever ridden! It was just as bad as I had heard growing up. I was stoked to ride a 125 again, but I have no want to ever ride a first gen aluminum frame Honda ever again.

I dont feel it. I think my 2019 crf450 is harsher. I do have modern forks/xtrigs and shock on it.
Anyway OP that is my favourite factory Honda scheme.

Thanks for the kind words Brian!

Just Installed the original exhaust with 4 spacers to try out before I decide on the exhaust system this one will get.
It's a bit beat up, but will do for now.

I love that wheel set on Hondas. I think black gets overused.

Here are a few pictures of the bike with the original beat up exhaust, and with both HRC look and OEM look.
