HONDA CR250 - 'RED ROCKET' - POSTER A2 SIZE

A stunning new A2 poster of the 'Red Rocket' 250 motocross racer.

In 1973 the first CR250 was released and was acclaimed as a game changer in motocross and was a top seller around the world.

In 1978 Honda released a stunning new 250cc two-stroke, redubbing it the CR250R. It had a Euro-style engine with the output shaft on the right and a reed-valve intake. Probably the most memorable aspect of the bike was its striking appearance. Everything, even the motor was fire-engine red. Honda leapfrogged back to the front of the field in magazine shootouts and sales. The following year, the 250 was spared the 23-inch front wheel that came on the 125 and several other models.

By 1980 there were more upgrades. Honda completely redesigned the bike with a center exhaust port and a double-down-tube frame. Then the bike was completely ash-canned a year later despite good reviews. In 1980, plastic gas tanks were ushered in to the delight of riders at the time. In retrospect, it was a sad day; another era that had passed.

Soichiro Honda founded his own company in 1948. Honda started out by mounting engines in bicycle frames before moving on to more powerful motors and real motorcycles.

Honda launched their first foreign subsidiary in 1959: American Honda Motor Co. Honda dominated the U.S. motorcycle market with the same dependable and affordable motorcycles they’d become known for.
