Honda XL250S Vintage Off-Road Motorcycle
XL250S
This is a complete Honda XL250S off-road motorcycle (also marketed as L250S), first released in June 1978. It's an air-cooled, 4-stroke SOHC single with a 5-speed return-shift transmission, mid-size displacement class (126-250cc), front tire width 3 inches and rear tire width 4.6 inches on an 18-inch rear rim. The seller states the bike runs, turns, and brakes without issue. Within the last year the following were replaced with new parts: front and rear tires, tire tubes, front and rear sprockets, chain, carburetor, and rear shock, along with an oil change and other maintenance. The seller recommends replacing the accelerator/throttle cable, as it feels stiff. The bike is sold as the body only; no stand or other accessories are included. Registration documents are available, but the compulsory insurance (jibaiseki) has lapsed, so the buyer must complete the name transfer within two weeks of receiving the bike. The seller notes this is a nearly 50-year-old vintage off-road bike and asks buyers to understand that issues may arise unexpectedly.
Seller notes scratches, dirt, and rust consistent with a nearly 50-year-old off-road motorcycle, though several drivetrain and suspension parts were replaced with new components within the past year. Compulsory insurance (jibaiseki) has expired, and the seller suggests the throttle cable may need replacement due to stiffness.
Shipping: Local pickup is available directly from the seller's garage near the Hokuriku Expressway Joetsu interchange in Niigata. The seller states that shipping via the carrier 'Red Line' is likely the cheapest option, and notes that depot drop-off is not possible due to distance.
Ships from Niigata, Japan, to our Osaka warehouse and on to Pomona.
