1984 Honda CB250RS

The Honda CB250RS is a 250 cc motorcycle designed for road use. It was produced until the mid-1980s. It has a four-stroke, four-valve, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine, which was built for the earlier XL250S trail bike. The RS is known for its slim build, with a dry weight of only 128 kg, and nimble handling. The engine featured counter rotating balancers, which reduced vibration and allowed a lighter frame. Further weight savings were achieved by making the engine a stressed component. Early models were kick-started (with an automatic decompression lever), while later Deluxe models (designated RS-D) came with electric start and different paintwork. The bike has a front disk brake and rear drum brake, and while it had only a single cylinder, it had twin exhausts.

The engine generates modest power and achieves a top speed of around 150 km/h or 90 mph. Early models produced a claimed 26 hp, while later models claimed 33 hp. It claimed fuel efficiency of up to 70 mpg (3.4 L/100 km). Known issues include failed ignition coils and CDIs.
