That is stunning.....these 1998 cr250's are seriously quick

[@Meditech509]

Ronnie Mac will give you 6 to 900 dollars for that future Screaming Eagle. He'd give you more but the fenders aren't modified.

[@cyclerider5652]

Beautiful CR250. Looks better than new. Amazing attention to detail replacing the shock bumper, footpegs and all the other little mods. I had a '99. Loved it. Massive amounts of explosive 2-stroke power. I used to wonder how fast a CR250 could go with someone who had the balls and skill to really run the sucker hard. Like it was made to do. Then I saw Ronnie Mac on his '98. Haha. The man can ride!

[@sonnyseabury4051]

That is one sick, gorgeous, and fast CR 250, that will easily stand straight up, if you crack on the throttle hard enough. Gorgeous graphics! I would love this dirtbike.

Beautiful bike I love my 97 CR250 2 stroke forever 🦅🇺🇸🤟🏼

[@damienoregan6211]

I reckon you're the only man on the planet that knows how to staa CR first kick everytime.

I’ve got an 1984 RM 250 , less than 25 tanks of gas have been through it, it close to show Quality , only trail ridden , if I could figure out how to send pictures to you , I think you’d buy it ! Close to show room

[@scatpack440]

Holy shit!!! ❤

[@joelaichner3025]

@@scatpack440 bought it from my uncle in 2015 , last ORV sticker before that was 1992 , I used to beg him to ride ,but he was always to busy , I washed it , changed the fluids . And didn’t even run a tank of gas through it in 3 short rides , my hands hurt , can’t hang on tight enough !

[@sonnyseabury4051]

That's the yellow and blue rm? I Love the looks of those.

@joelaichner3025 Those are my alltime favorite RM's. Suzuki made awesome 2 stroke mx dirtbikes back in the day, long before these pos 4 stroke mx dirtbikes starred being made. The only 4 stroke motorcycles that I would ever own, are a streetbike, and street legal enduro. Other than those 2, nobody will ever see me owning a 4 stroke. I bought two motorcycles from Kaplan Cycles a while back. First one was my dream bike, a 1985 Yamaha 2 stroke RZ 350 Kenny Robert's yellow and black bike, with the gorgeous vintage Yamaha block graphics, and a mint, like new, GasGas 2 stroke MC 250 MX Dirtbike, which I'm about to have put in the shop, from the years worth of custom parts I've bought from Kaplan Cycles. GasGas had very low miles on it. It was owned by a 60 something year old friend of Ken's, that was afraid of it's power, so I bought it. Nice talking to you brother. Much love and respect from New Orleans, La. PS. If you ever get a chance to do business with The Kaplans, do it, and I can assure you, you will be very happy and never disappointed. They are the nicest people around. They invited me a while back to fly up there, and ride dirtbikes with them, on their beautiful family compound. Hoping, within then next year, to fly up there for a few days to hang out with them, when Sr and Jr are both there.

[@dantehall5526]

I can say you didn't bury your talents that God gave you. May Jesus prosper more and you and your family life and all the ones you touching motorcycles.

[@KaplanCycles]

Amen brother

[@jakebsowders357]

Absolutely pristine and so beautiful

[@mr.channel6467]

How did that seat come out so perfect? gosh darn. BEAUTIFUL BIKE. I just did my own not to long ago

[@mr.channel6467]

The seat I did looks good but I think I put it on to tight cause there is a decent Little gap that is between the rear fender and the seat. I got the video on my channel to show it

[@StevieDee73]

Nice bike to have for your collection but I definitely wouldn’t want to ride that on the track brutal bike 😂

[@sissygoog9456]

[@alexnajarianmusic]

I have a 1997 Honda CR 250. I only rode it maybe five times at most. Every now and then I'll ride it around the neighborhood. Everything on it is original except for the mudflap, which just fell apart from age. even the tires are original. These bikes got a bad rap, but the reason I still own it is because it was the best bike I ever owned. I did take it out on a practice track a few times and the performance is unreal. Beautiful steering, the best 250 motor I ever rode and a lot more. These are fantastic bikes.

[@timfogle7337]

I love the smell of blendzall😊

[@GearheadRob319]

Awesome CR250R. Lots of power!

[@geoffnelson64]

[@youtoober808]

What a gem. From what ive heard 2001's are the best CR's.

[@Kawiboy]

Was a great bike for me. I dug the stiffness and she was pretty fast stock. I ran a bills set up not much more and enjoyed her all year ✌️👊😉

[@deutzfahr5676]

[@douglasgrosch228]

[@johngrier5949]

Love seeing the guys polishing all the aluminum…. I’d buy it in a heartbeat… she’s done right

[@dieselmech7227]

Hey Kaplan America can u point me in the direction on my 1997 Honda cr 250r I need the left and right crank case can’t find them anywhere and it’s the only thing from stopping my beast from coming back to life

Do you ship your bikes to the uk ?

Yes

[@ropeyzkittlez9703]

never been a fan of the aluminum frames tbh

[@swemx7403]

I've owned the 1999 cr250. I have to say, That bike was the most stiff, Solid and boring bike I've ever owned. I don't know what the hell Honda did that year but they F-ed up the powerband. Nothing on low, A short big hit in the middle and then it dies in high rpm. Just completely flat. I've heard that the 97 and 98 version has better powerband, That classic Honda mid and top end power that I like. But overall, That bike is too stiff. I sold it. The 1994 cr250 was waaay more fun.
