1981 Honda CB250RS, 248cc. Registration number OEK 230W. Frame number MC02-2002166. Engine number MC02E-2002177.
The Honda CB250RS is a 250 cc motorcycle designed for road use. It was produced until the mid-1980s with a high-compression four-stroke, four-valve, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine, which was an upgrade of the engine built for the earlier XL250S trail bike. The RS is known for its slim build, with a dry weight of only 128 kg, and nimble handling. The engine featured counter rotating balancers, which reduced vibration and allowed a lighter frame. Further weight savings were achieved by making the engine a stressed component. Early models were kick-started (with an automatic decompression lever), while later Deluxe models (designated RS-D/RSZ) came with electric start and different paintwork. The bike has a front disc brake and rear drum brake, and while it had only a single-cylinder, it had twin exhausts; one for each port.
OEK is in good working order and from the look of it an older restoration that still looks fresh. The MOT history shows 27,529 miles in 2013 then it was off the road until 2019 at 27,661 miles so this was presumably the time it was refreshed. Our vendor bought it at this time from Earnshaws of Huddersfield (receipt on file), and has enjoyed it sparingly with its recent MOT in August 2021 at 27,967 miles.
Sold with the V5C, MOT until August 2022 and purchase receipt mentioned.
