Honda XR250
The Honda XR250R enduro model begins its history in 1981 - then it was a model built on an engine from the Honda XL250S. By 1984, the model received a new Radial Four Valve Chamber (RFVC) engine, and by 1986, one carburetor instead of two. In 1990, the Honda XR250R received a rear disc brake instead of a drum brake, and continued to be produced as such until 1995.
