This video is going to be so value to a lot of guys rebuilding these old bikes, myself included.

[@ericc90]

Jay, you and your guys did a phenomenal job of bringing these bikes back to life! Elbow grease and that labor of love shows like a work of art! I would love to have one of these bikes in my stable!

[@speedtoad6167]

Every race series has the family that has 3 or 4 kids racing, plus dad and maybe mom. This video is their life, and their typical week.

[@ochoabtor9597]

Good job Jay and everyone in the Retro Support Crew that helped! 🎉

[@Pheedub]

The best dirtbike channel on youtube! Nice work boys 👍!

[@dirtbiketv1]

Wow, thank you for watching! We appreciate it!

[@jezuaccc]

Wow these guys are awesome!im a newby to the dirt bike world and little at the age of 51 lol been riding all kinds of motorcycles since i was 19 these dirtbikes are a better deal as far as riding them on different terrains

[@dirtbiketv1]

Dirt bikes are the way to go! That's why we like them so much.

[@Risible1]

In 1985 (and probably some other years) there were 5 Honda "250R" models. It was always interesting when a customer walked into parts, plonked down a part on the counter, and said, "I need one of these for my '85 250R". e.g. CR250R, XR250R, XL250R, ATC250R, TRX250R

[@dirtniron]

That's a lot of work guys, but the results are worth it! Red frame looks the best ;)

[@dirtbiketv1]

Thanks for the support Rado!

[@bobhannah9944]

I use brackets mounted to the foot peg holes to bolt the frame to the table.

[@jesseleblanc989]

Thank you! Excellent job!

[@dirtbiketv1]

Thank you too!

[@DBT-Nick]

Dang what a cool project

[@1176hambone]

#1 looks soooo good!

[@dirtbiketv1]

We will have more videos soon showing them all done and some of the others are even better

[@jimmy_dirtbike]

Yo Jay, been working on a 94 cr250 and man do I feel this video! Been following your CR builds and appreciate what you do.

[@michaelmartin2912]

They are absolutely beautiful bikes good job

[@dirtbiketv1]

thank you!

[@TheCarlejoseph]

This is so freaking cool! They all look amazing.

[@dirtbiketv1]

Thanks!

[@3BrothersExtreme]

A project for the record books! Soo cool!!!

[@dirtbiketv1]

Thanks!

[@michaelmartin2912]

It reminds me of my 1992. That was a fun bike

[@dirtbiketv1]

92 was also a great year!

[@JacksonD489]

Awesome Jay! You are a true asset to us motoheads… I just did a 1993 CR250R and you are correct, they can be a ton of work. I picked up several tips. You are the man! All the best.. FJ

[@dirtbiketv1]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@someoneyouknow96]

I’m glad I’m not the only one that cuts chain links that way. It’s so easy. I don’t need no stinking chain breaker.

[@someoneyouknow96]

Brads such a badass. I love watching his time lapse footage.

[@dirtbiketv1]

Haha yeah especially for MX chains its the way to go.

[@dirtbiketv1]

Thanks for watching!

[@someoneyouknow96]

Which timesert kit do you use. Not sure which metric one I’d need. I need a timesert in my fork just like most bikes.

[@someoneyouknow96]

That #1 bike is about perfection.

[@roostfezza7563]

Very keen to see how these bikes run, what they are like at the track. Great video, thank you!

[@dirtbiketv1]

Glad you like them! They rip!

[@d.w.richard7811]

The 96 era is my favorite Honda bike all three of them 125,250,and 500 with the red and black plastic

[@dormantmenace]

96 is most everyone's favorite cr 250 lol. It was a great full package. The 500 was the same bike from 94 to 01. With minimal changes from 88.

[@d.w.richard7811]

@@dormantmenace didn’t know that Tks my 03 kx125 is going to Built500 this summer to get her a body swap lol going AF and been looking for a AF cr250 as my all the time bike

[@darrellmabry699]

Great video. Loved watching the process. Makes me want to build a bike. Keep up the god work.

[@dirtbiketv1]

You should! Thank you for watching!

[@sparooniee]

This looks like a ton of fun! Great video going in depth on every one of these builds makes me want to get one to do too!

[@dirtbiketv1]

Thank you! They were a lot of fun to work on

[@dallaswyatt1265]

Another amazing video Jay. Great work

[@dirtbiketv1]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@paulvanhout9695]

Impressive effort and incredible results - classic builds👍

[@greg6696]

Amazing stuff, thanks for sharing!

[@rcraceworx]

Great insight! All of the bikes came out great. 💪🏻

[@dirtbiketv1]

Agreed! Thanks for watching!

[@johnmaldonado6999]

5 rebuilds probably took 10 total in parts. That’s huge undertaking. Great job Jay

[@dirtbiketv1]

It was 10 sets of suspension to make 5 so yeah it was rough. Thank you!

[@spencerclark2269]

Super cool to see these bikes come back to life.

[@kylevoss208]

Job well done boys! 💪

[@dirtbiketv1]

Thanks!

[@robh3267]

Outstanding work Jay, I've done a few 90's bike builds myself and the amount of time spent on finding parts and sourcing out work takes much longer than the actual build itself, I love how you made each bike have a different and unique look even though they are all basically the same bike, projects like this it can be more about who you know than what you know.

[@dirtbiketv1]

Haha definitely took a lot of people to get these done, but came out great! Thanks for watching!

[@jacobkindiger4593]

I've never clicked on a video so fast.

[@user-sf8ot9ic2b]

I wish I knew, would of sent you my 93cr250, currently stalled in a frame off restoration, mostly in boxes🏁⚙️

[@snowfreak207]

I have a 1990 125 ive half ass restored need a few chain rollers and a bolt for the motor mount in front should be good to go.

[@dormantmenace]

There is no concern with tripple clamp strength and rigidity boring them? And why not pwk upgrade?

[@dirtbiketv1]

Not really, we were trying to be price conscious about these builds especially when building five at once.

[@rm25007]

Dang

[@dasspr]

very nice vid! subd! I just sold my 95 cr250 and I'm regretting it so bad :(

[@dirtbiketv1]

Haha we are going to sell most all of these so you can email me if you want on the sell list

[@bcclark8681]

Burnt bronze Rims would have been killer.

[@dougderby9454]

Cause six is too many. It takes a village for cleaning and assembly 😊

[@dirtbiketv1]

Haha yeah six is definitely too many unless I find one more once I get rid of these.

[@zachfarkash6430]

Great job on those CR250's, you going to sell them?

[@608Jaystone1982]

Have you ever tried watts perfection for port work and machining?

[@narfer]

Excellent job! I am working on a 1992 right now. What did you do for the brake pedal? Most are wornout. Did you bush them? Or?

[@dirtbiketv1]

Watch the full video and you'll see the aftermarket tips we got to work.

[@guccinemwel]

Hey..Just wondering..can you guys help me build one like those..and where can i reach you out?

[@Mr10usdad]

Where did you get the blue decals?

[@dirtbiketv1]

Decal Works of course.

[@Mr10usdad]

@@dirtbiketv1 Thabks. I have white ones. I just got all new plastic and I was thinking about going with blue on my 1995 CR250.
