When did the Honda XR250R come out?
1986-2005 Honda XR250R – Dirt Rider Magazine. The earliest XR250Rs were basically a 500 chassis and a shrunken-displacement 500 engine. Not a shrunken engine, so the bikes ended up with the weight of a 500 and the power of a 200; Honda finally got the right equation in 1986.
Is the Honda XR250R an air cooled bike?
Unlike the CRF230F, which effectively replaced the XR200R in Honda’s lineup as an air-cooled off-road motorcycle, the XR250R has no air cooled successor, but was replaced by the liquid-cooled CRF250X. The engines in both the XR250R and XR250L are identical.
