Rare first generation K0 Motosport XL250 recently restored ready for road or trail. A very nicely restored example of Honda’s iconic first model XL250, rarely seen in this country but considered by many to be the best of a classic line of four stroke singles. This matching numbers machine was first registered in the UK in 2017 on a correct age-related “L” number plate and as you can hear it runs sweetly with no smoke or mechanical noise so the recorded 9,571 miles may well be correct. The restoration is of a high standard with a few exceptions; non-standard rear shocks and painted spokes being the most obvious examples. With just these two areas addressed it could be a show winner; in fact it could be as it is due to it’s scarecity and the high esteem in which this model is held. It starts easily with a single kick almost every time, idles nicely and slower than in the video when adjusted warm, pulls cleanly and strongly for a 250 and it has that quality feel associated with Hondas of this era. Nice one.
