First Gen water-cooled Honda CR250M Elsinore (or is it?) Supermoto spotted at the 2019 Islae of Vashon TT, Wa.

I could not stop looking at this bike.  At first glance it looks like a first gen. Elsinore with supermoto tires.  Look closer and you see all the details.  It's water cooled, but still looks like a first gen.  Notice how the front downtube splits around the exhaust.  Then you see it's got disk brakes.  The builder did a great job tucking the radiator and brake reservoir mostly out of site.  Just amazing..... one of my favorite builds ever!

  1. the pipe and silencer look good too.
    I want it to have stock foot pegs, send it back start over penalty deduction.

    1. Good eye. I didn't even notice the modern pegs. But I've been known to be fooled by a wooden foot peg.

  2. I bought this beautiful machine from the builder and it now resides in the UK. I have fitted the original foot pegs, clutch lever, lever end rubbers and lever dust covers (had to modify the front brake dust cover to suit the master cylinder) and I had the fuel tank aluminium plated as the paintwork got damaged in shipping. It is an absolutely amazing bike. Eric did a fantastic job building this beast!
