The post is gone now so I assume it's sold, but what a find! Hopefully it went to a good home.
Looked like original tires, sprox and even plastics/decals.
One way to deal with a "best offer takes it" is tell the person you will top the highest bid by $100 (or some other amount). If the guy comes back with, "I was offered $5000 for it" then you know you're being bullshitted and go back to the $2500 benchmark.
At lot guys will say, the bike is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Part of this process is deciding how much you value acquiring the bike, and what kind of budget you are looking at overall.
The '92s were noted for their particularly translucent pink-red plastic, every year after Honda went to a more red color. The plastic looks very original in itself an indicator (along with the OEM sprocket) that this is an low hour, unmolested bike. Hard to find, and the '92-6 steelies were outstanding bikes.
The Shop
Acerbis comes closest, but their 92-6 stuff is discontinued. UFO is pretty good.
The '92 shade was ONE year only. All the other shades of Nuclear red, even the '93, is going to be darker. Try Dirk Timmer but the replacement NOS plastic is going to be pricey.
You can take out the white creases by heating up the plastic with a heat gun and then use of towel to rub out the stress marks.
Phil Cox, the owner of Plastic Renovations can also restore the plastic.
Shame about the corner of the seat. Those colors were silk-screened and the digital printing palate used by modern graphics/set companies are too dark. I've hear good things about the guy from Thailand who sells seatcovers on eBay.
For set-up and the recall MaxPower is referring to, do a search here on Vital, there was a guy who started a thred on his '92 resto and both topics are discussed by Dogger315.
"You got yourself quite a project there.
The 92 CR250 was a major redesign for Honda and was the last version of the steel framed CRs.
There were some problem areas. Engine wise, the new case design did not flow enough oil between
the transmission and the right side case cover, so clutch problems were common. Honda came out
with a fix which consisted of drilling a couple of holes in the right side case. The problem was corrected
by 93. The other problem was swingarm failures between the extruded and cast section. The common fix
for this was a weld repair for the cracks and to run more chain slack and a larger OD bottom chain roller
from a 91 CR250.
Good luck with it.
