The '87 is the unicorn amongst the older crowd.
2005-07; also 1978-79 (works bikes for the public).
00-01 is one of the best engines I’ve ever ridden. Never owned one, but seems like that gem is not nearly as supported in the aftermarket world as the 02-07.
I think the 02-07 was one the best chassis Honda ever built and with some motor work could be made to run much better. The 87 was a great bike as well. The 83 for a not having a PV made great power.
87
2007 was so good
The answer is 1993
I had an ‘06 and I loved that bike. The chassis was great and could turn under anything I wanted. Top quality workmanship throughout. Jetting was temperamental with that Mikuni. JD jet kit helped but not a cure. Always wanted to sub a Keihin on it but never got around to it. I ran 50/50 pump premium and VP C-12 and that got the detonation under control. Great throttle response with that mix.
Had these
91 - weird motorcycle for me
93 - kicked ass
96 - Kicked ass
2001 - kicked ass
Exclude the 91 and they are in order of preference for me but can see where the 87 was also a bad ass bike.
Because it was released in 1987, not 20 years later.
One of my best friends had the '87 250 and I logged a good number of hours on it and can say without hesitation it has a well-earned reputation.
87 and 96
I had a couple 86s back in the day. Lovely motor and great forks. The 86 was the first Honda with a power valve and cartridge forks. The power valve had to be cleaned often .Like every 5 hrs. At least mine did running mc3 at 30 to 1.Also had an 88. Super smooth motor and handled well. The 87 is regarded as the best of the 80s. I never rode an 87. However they were supposed to be super fast. First year with rear disc as well.
1987
Pit Row
'73
'87
'93
That's where the magic occurred.
This☝️
Every CR250 after 96 was disappointing in one way or another.
No votes for the 97?... lol
Well, it was inarguably the best CR250 of '97.
And also the worst.😁
Probably more of the latter. 😂
84
00-01, engine.
02-07, chassis.
Worst year for sure. And soooo many people put down deposits and eagerly awaited the delivery 🤣
Why is the 87 a Unicorn?
I had an 86 awesome bike could put it anywhere I wanted to with great useable power band I still miss that bike!!
It was just a great bike for its time as it did everything really well. I still have one and it still feels great on the track to this day.
1987. All the CR’s were badass in 1987.
1984 cr125 mugen pipe, keystone mx suspension, best bike I've ridden
