Just finished building my 93 Cr .. Went for Honda of Troy rep. Should prob have taken more pics through the build but never got round to it..
New talon wheels/rims
Went through the full motor
Ported barrel/Milled head
Airstriker
Modern internals in old forks
Full pro circuit pipe
Lots off new cables/brake lines etc
Haven't rode her yet since rebuild but loved the bike before when it was a low hour standard.

Lovely build. I bet it will absolutely rip!

What are your plans for it?
Not sure where you are based but the UK Evo Series holds a Super Evo class which would be great fun on this bike

Cheers mate.. Up in Scotland, just outside Glasgow.. Ye a few off my pals have raced the evo series am pretty sure, in the evo class.. If it's the sane one is the next round hawkstone? .. You know what it's like.. U spend so much time and money getting parts for these builds then when it's all finished u don't want to ride the damn things.
The first time will be the hardest but then I should be ok lol... Had put an entry in for super evo at farleigh but none of us got in this year! Think I will do some races down south with it tho.. Not sure bout hawkstone on it right enough.. Lol be hard on an evo bike

This series is done over 5 rounds. Had round 1 a few weekends back at Ford. Round 2 is at North Nibley this Sunday. All tracks are mostly natural and EVO friendly. Agree on Hawkstone, awesome track but I'd be scared to take an Evo round there!

Here's the facebook page for the series.

Haha yeah I know all too well. We went all out on our 89 RM250 and it ended up costing a packet! Worth it though as its a fantastic bike to ride. If you can get some frame guards and use clear helitape you can actually stop them from getting too ratty. Also helps riding them in the summer only when the tracks aren't super shitty!

Bummer! I didn't get into Farleigh either so that's why I'm doing this UK Evo Series. Which honestly is 10X better than Farleigh I think. The VMXDN is a hell of a lot of money for what it is and the limited track time you get.

The 93 CR2 owned is a top 3 favorite bike owned in the last 4 + decades. Treat her good & ride her like she was meant to be ridden. Raced one back in 90's & regret ever selling that bike to this day. Enjoy !

I've been on the hunt for a clean 93 model locally for about 5 yrs. & haven't been able to find a decent platform. As the yrs. have passed I rarely see one for sale now. I kind of kick myself for not buying a restored one that the seller was asking $3,500 which I thought was steep. I offered him $2,500 & think it sold for $3,200 which at the time felt it was kinda high.

This was the restored 93.

Bummer man... Keep looking tho. Pretty sure one will turn up. Mine actually came from the states as a low hour, barely ridden bike. Seems to be a few over there still mate.. Defo worth keeping, great bikes .

Sorry ... just noticed these.. seat foam is still the standard oem Honda and the graphics are from evo mx. These guys also have new foams I believe. Cheers
