1987 Honda Hurricane CBR 250R(H) MC17 Japanese 250cc Four-Cylinder Import Normal 0 false false false EN-CA X-NONE X-NONE The Honda CBR250 series of motorcycles was produced by Honda between 1986 and 1996. It is a lightweight sport bike with a 250 cc (15 cu in), 40hp, four-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a six-speed gearbox capable of revving up to 19,000 rpm. Initially these bikes were only sold new in Japan, and later sold new in Australia. For anyone who grew up reading and dreaming about Honda works racers like the legendary fours & sixes of the 1960's, this bike is for you. This bike was engineered by Shoichiro Irimajiri, one of Honda's most famed designers. His history starts with the 4-cylinder 250cc bikes of the 1960's that won many GP’s. He designed the RC160-164 and then the RC165 and 66 which were the 6-cylinder 250cc models. He developed the NR500/750 oval piston as well as the CBX. This MC 17 is a 250cc liquid-cooled direct descendant of the 4 cylinder race bikes built in the 1960's. The bike was imported into Canada by a collector and was licensed for the road. It was exchanged once or twice before I rescued it from a storage garage. I obtained the bike with the intention of building a Honda RC 162 replica. With too many project on the go I opted to prep the bike for the road to enjoy its unique power and amazing sound. The bike is street legal, has an Ontario ownership, low kilometers, and is very inexpensive to insure. It has recently had an oil and filter change, new fork seals, and a carb clean, yet will likely need a new battery and a carb sync because I’ve had it in storage since the spring. There are some blemishes on the bike that are to be expected with something of this vintage – there is a scrape of the exhaust and some fairing scratches and blemishes – yet all the fairings, tank ,and parts are original. As previously stated, I purchased the bike with the intention of creating a RC 162, however considering the shape of the bike it would be a shame to split it all up. This would make a very easy and fun restoration project. Feel free to send your questions and offers. I am willing to crate the bike at no additional cost and can help arrange shipping, yet all shipping costs will be the responsibility of the buyer.
