I wanted to start a new Mugen Honda forum. Talk about the Mugen brand. The history The race teams The bikes And of course the survivors that are still out there. And post pictures old and new of the bikes.

Oooff. More pics please!!

Is that a Mugen pipe also? 

I just got a "hop up kit" for my `76, I'll be keeping the frame std. The bikes got some history so I don't want to stray to far from what it was.

Honda would have sold a lot more Elsinores in 1977 if that had been in showrooms.

Is that a full, 'production' ( if you could ever call an ME 'production')  ME250, or a kitted CR?

It's bloody trick, whatever it is!

That, is what I thought it to be.

Things like those forks, were something special.

It is, Magnificent!

As DaveB771 said, they would have sold a boatload, or 2, of something near to that.

 But, for some reason, Honda sat on their hands, and gave up the lead they got from the first CRs - they just invested in stocks of Red paint.......

Not full Mugen bikes but my  Mugen kitted 84 & 85 CR125's.  I'm building a 1983 kitted CR125 bike as well with Mugen top end, pipe & RC style fuel tank

Yes 87 CR swingarm, Goes straight in 85/6 but needed some mods in the pivot area & mixture of 84- 87 linkage components to work on the 84.

My cousin's neighbor had one of those just like that. We used to take it on some awesome dirt jumps.

Honda could have halved the number of yellow bikes in the 125 and 250 classes,but we’re just too lazy/stubborn.
