Pitster XTR250 and NX250 Honda

Oengus · 11-09-2010, 09:38 PM

The NX250 Honda was sold in the USA from 1988 to 1990
Here is a link to a list of schematics and part number on Bike Bandit for the Honda NX250.

The XTR250 may share parts with that Honda, the engines appear to.

I would say or see that the bike may also share the same basic frame design as the Honda.

I saw this on my local craigslist and wondered what opinion is on these?

Interesting. I assume it's new.

Price exceeds my usual CB maximum allowable price.

With that said it's aircooled. There is a W/C 250 similar to that that is not recommended by some of our members, and at least one who rode it.

Might be a good deal for closer to, or below $2,000. $2,700 is pretty high, IMHO.

The fact that's it's a local presumably brck and mortar shop means something though.

I could see maybe $2,300-$2,400. $2,700 not so much.

The way they are advertising it, seems like might not be road legal. But its a 4 stroke, and got a headlight/ taillight.

It might be worth my time to ride up there to see it in person and ask if it can be titled and see if it has an EPA / NHSTA labels on it. Maybe will do that in the next couple weeks.

and i just noticed this video... its got turn signals!

FastDoc · 10-23-2012, 04:01 PM

It looks like a dualsport. I would think it's road legal.

Its October. The weather in Jersey is going to take a major dumparoo soon. If I was a motorcycle dealer I'd be interested in moving my stock out the door....

Just sayin'. :wink:

I thought Oengus had returned, but I see his thread was resurrected from 2 years ago. 8O Somebody knows how to use the search function!

Yup, been a while since Oengus has posted hasn't it?

Regarding the XTR250, I don't really know much about it. I do know however, that Pitster Pro Canada didn't bring them in even though they were supposed to. I was told it was due to "reliability issues". Not sure what issues they were talking about but I was told they were sticking with the tried and true XTR200 (same as Q-Link XP/XF bikes)

NOT a good sign.
