Kiss This Mr. DMV: 1986 Honda RS250 (Road going?)

Do you remember the old Sesame Street game where you had to identify the one thing that didn’t fit with the others?  Well, what doesn’t fit in this picture?

We all know this bike has no business being on the street but aren’t rules meant to be bent just a bit?

Two strokes and cigarettes; what a band influence on society you would be riding this.

Here is the story on it from the seller:

Located in Rockland, Massachusetts is a 1986 Honda RS250RF that was supposedly a Honda factory race bike. This bike is supposedly 1 of 29 for 1986 with four for the factory and 25 privateer bikes. A very cool vintage bike. This bike is fitted with brake lights directional’s horn and a cyclops front lamp powered by a 12volt laptop battery under the seat that needs recharging now and then(charger included)and yes a plate mount. Maybe I did have this bike registered for two years and maybe not. Depending on your state and how clever you are. I wont go into specifics. Imagine a Grand Prix bike on the street. Now I dont recommend you do something like that but who am I to judge. This bike is intended for off road use only! It just happens to have all of the items to be safety inspected in some states. This is a one of a kind bike for collecting playing off road or just display. It is fully functional and I can attest to the fact it easily reaches 14k RPM and in excess of 150MPH on a track of course. I purchased this bike from a pilot in Mass who told me he got it off the Privateer who raced it twice at Laguna Seca(Mazda Speedway) in Ca. I cant prove any of this but he had no reason to lie. New this bike cost 17K and came with spares. I only have a few spare parts and lots of factory HRC manuals and parts lists. I have had this in a heated storage for the past 7 years. It needs a good cleaning and new fluids, I know it will fire up and run strong once it has fresh fluids and a once over. If you are a collector or just want to experience what its like to ride a real race bike I am letting this go for a little more than what two loaded wheels for one of these bikes go for. It makes a fun off road bike,conversation piece or a piece of vintage HRC Race history. Buyer must pick up the bike in Rockland Mass. or make all the arrangements for shipping. I accept paypal or cash and I will need a deposit at auction end. Good luck bidding! Note:No title with this bike. Ebay requires a title description on bike newer than 1981. Please do not bid if you are outside of the USA and not willing to follow the terms of the auction.

If you deviants didn’t read the info from the owner: no title with the bike.  You better practice your bump starts my friend, no kick start here.  I think those are  ultra rare HRC turn signals!

Even without the street silliness you have a  nice track bike or a restore project for your living room.

It looks like there are quite a few Freddie Spencer wannabes out there; bidding is quite active.  She is going home with someone as well, as the reserve has been met.
