DOCWOB - HONDA CR250 1987 - Completely original!

Look what I found! It’s like finding a unicorn or rocking horse sh!t!
I recently found a barely touched original 1987 CR250. This is one of the best production bikes of its time; it might even be the best production machine of all time. These are the machines that the likes of Rick Johnson and Guy Cooper raced back in the day, and I remember working on these when I was with Mark and Justin Banks - what a trip down memory lane!
Finding one of these in this condition is super rare, and in this week’s episode, I take you through what I look for when buying a machine like this. We also run through the machine, what to keep, what needs replacing and what we will do to her - this one is a little bit special.
I also have a 2007 CR250 in production - Shall we put these two machines on the clock with our test rider and see how they run? Let me know in the comments.

87 stands above all earlier models because it finally got a rear disc brake. this is the most coveted bike in motocross.

[@docwobtv]

It was/is wonderful, a real diamond in the rough

[@dominickdanna9906]

i bought this bike new September of 1986 when the 87 1st came out. raced it here in central FL. gold cup series. i drove an old junky van but this sweet bike would roll out of it. super reliable, I did nothing but change oil filter and rode it the entire series. In this era every year there was a noticeable and significant improvement with the bikes.

[@docwobtv]

Very cool! This is why we have them to bring back the memories!

[@JCSDieselPerformance]

These had an oil filter?

[@bikevault2302]

imagine we kept all these bikes from the 80's.

[@docwobtv]

If only…..

[@russellhelms2835]

Some of us did👌😎if only we ALL had! They were great MX bikes, and great times💪 and DOCWOB is the man that dedicates his life & times to keeping them around (better than new too)🏆

[@user-ik7kx6gb2s]

Awesome I had one back in the old school days. Seventeen in so Cal it was the best days of motocross is far as I'm concerned. Thanks for the blast from the past. God bless Matt,ky

[@docwobtv]

Cheers man! Really appreciate the support!

[@zardportugal]

To me is one of the best looking CRs ever built. Cheers.

[@docwobtv]

Thanks for the comment

[@TrialTube]

Another banging piece of content from the king of the 2 strokes!

[@docwobtv]

Thank you dude, your videos are insanely good!

[@rochellestanley9532]

Definitely the best bike of the era 🇺🇸

[@docwobtv]

I am liking it!

[@19Jharris]

They never should have stopped making these bikes.

[@docwobtv]

Agreed

[@mt1885]

2 stroke was like where it for sure!

[@rosco162]

Rare find being so original. I like how the market is turning to factory/originality instead of blinged out crap

[@docwobtv]

That’s what we like here!!

[@XCV1197]

I was loaned an 87 250..... what a bike, smooth power, lovely suspension, a pure joy

[@docwobtv]

Couldn't agree more! For the time it was great!

[@Workerbee-zy5nx]

Actually your fork boots are aftermarket, the originals were hard plastic. Your seat cover is after market, all 80 crs had no visible seams on the cover. Great bike.

[@mechdesigner9304]

I drove up to PC to get my 87 CR250 pipe. The catalog said they were out of stock but when your there, they have some in stock. The intermediate clutch cover says on backorder on the Honda parts list but talking to my honda parts guy, he said they never plan on selling selling anymore so dont hold your breath. The 88-91 cover fits and its aluminum. Thats what I used.

[@docwobtv]

Sorry to hear that

[@macmckie2238]

Wob ! Could watch 2hrs of this. Love the channel

[@docwobtv]

Glad you enjoy it! Plenty more to come

[@randallmorgan7658]

I have Two of these all tore down waiting to build…. New OE clutch covers frames powdered perfect match flash orange! Building family proved a bit more expensive than planned!!

[@docwobtv]

They are always more expensive than people imagine! Good effort!!

[@robmacisaac9011]

Just to let you know, a buddy of mine is in the middle of a complete frame up “RJ ‘87 CR250R” rebuild and he just received his new PC ‘87 CR pipe from Pro Circuit. You had better make that call ASAP because PC just did a batch of these pipes up, not sure how long they will be available.

[@docwobtv]

I will be on it pronto!!

[@MXRiderFiftyTwo]

RJ was an 1988 model

[@malccolliver4721]

Absolutely love it wobs ❤great vlog 👍👍👍👍

[@docwobtv]

Thank you so much 😁

[@codenamenoob4973]

Pretty sure PC made a limited run a few years ago of Ricky Johnson pipes made from the original measurements they still had from Ricky's factory bike

[@docwobtv]

I will have to find that!

[@steveperelli3602]

I love the red red is my favorite color for dirtbike

[@docwobtv]

I love lamp…

[@franciscolopez3229]

Wow, this is one of the best 250 2 stroke Honda ever made, especially that forks that is well known for. Just replace that 1985 "PRO LINK" swingarm sticker with period correct one. Thank you for this video.

[@docwobtv]

Couldn't agree more!

Cracking bike! Love to see the back to back bikes!! For me though the 1996 cr250 are the best

[@docwobtv]

Must get one in!

[@thequadzillaking]

I had a near 100% Original ‘89. Mint Condition. I paid $1,000 back in 2012.

Worth some now that would be

I would kill to have my 87 cr125 back but I’ve managed to hang on to my 89 cr 250.

This is why I had to get another! Hard to find

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Arty11]

I thought the original tyres from the factory were Dunlop Doc,back in the day.😁✌️

[@docwobtv]

Will find out! You have got me guessing now!

[@docwobtv]

Dunlop in the states, Bridgestone in the uk I believe

[@Arty11]

@@docwobtv I was sponsored by Honda uk and Bridgestone but remember taking those Dunlop tyres off for my Bridges although the Dunlops were a great all round tyre. Maybe I’m mistaken.1987 onwards

oh oui!!

Merci!!!

Do a KDX build my friend!

Fantastic choice, interesting to see what China sends over 🍀🙏👍🇬🇧

[@docwobtv]

Yeah we are looking forward to seeing what we get!

[@djantix1200]

@@docwobtv Yes, keen on seeing how that China cover fits!

[@krisberic640]

I kind of think same, its to do a job, especially if your riding/racing it. Imo if you break a few chinese cheap parts its better than wrecking oem expensive parts.

[@docwobtv]

It’s now arrived and fitted, all good!!

[@deanharriss2029]

Fits where it touches 😂😂😂😂

In all fairness I was a bit harsh on the dg pipe…
