1979 Honda CR250R Mugen ME 360 Unrestored in pristine condition
This Mugen ME 360cc was the pinnacle of performance and the only way to get a big bore Honda CR (Honda didn’t make a big bore CR yet). The Mugen set consists of the cylinder and piston, cylinder head, reinforced gears, stronger clutch springs, reed valve and special exhaust header pipe.
This rare bike is in excellent condition. Super low hours and unrestored! It has been very well preserved since 1979. Original paint. Original plastic (very rare!). Original seat. Front forks still have the original clear coating on the lowers and have no pitting on them. The rims are straight and look like new almost, the original spokes still have their shine. Original front tire! Even all the rubber parts like the rubber stops in the rear shocks and rubber bands of the number plates are in original new-like condition without any cracking. The frame has the original paint and only minimal paint chipping and only slight wear on the sides from the rider boots. These spots have not been repainted to prove it’s original low hours condition. The bottom of the frame rails have absolutely no dents! The exhaust pipe still has the original paint and is dent free.
The engine is like new and has massive compression, comparable to what the CR500’s have. It runs and sounds like new. The original breather hoses on the still pristine looking carburetor testify its originality and low hours.
This probably is one of the lowest hours 1979 Red Rocket CR in existence. Pair that with the rarest of rare Mugen ME360 and you have the absolute rarest 1979 model you can buy. A true collection piece.
