I picked up this off Kijiji a few days ago in Kamloops. 1973 Honda xl250. Bought it from original owner who purchased new from Kamloops Honda in 1973. He put 186 miles on it then stored it indoors under a cover for 40 years. First picture is what it looked like when I picked it up, the rest are after a good soapy wash, have not even detailed it yet. Everything is original just as it was purchased. Even the tires. Has original owners manual still in Plastic and Tools. Runs perfect as well. I dont know if I should ride it or hang it on the wall!

Disregard THAT...Change the oil three times then polish the bike until you die. That's it!!!:tup:

What a great find! I had one when I was 15 years old going to high school! (it didn't look this good) You certainly don't come across these very often, I've looked for years.
Have fun with it!

The trip meter even matches the odometer.

What an awesome score...I'm jealous!

Although....nobody has asked what you paid for it (not that it matters), so I'll be the first...

I put this up on Ebay if anyone is interested.
1973 XL250 MINT with only 186 Miles All Original
This is not a restored bike. Was only driven the first year purchased and stored in a home since. One of a kind.
