This Honda ATV got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1989 Honda FourTrax 250R was acquired in 2022 by the seller, who subsequently carried out a refurbishment that involved overhauling the 246cc two-stroke single, fitting reproduction white plastic bodywork, repainting the frame, reupholstering the seat, replacing various fasteners, and installing an aluminum radiator, an LRD Racing expansion-chamber exhaust system, an Elka remote-reservoir monoshock, and a Duncan Racing chrome front bumper. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a six-speed transmission and a replacement drive chain and sprockets, and the ATV is further equipped with trail lighting, folding foot pegs, skid plates, multi-piece alloy wheels, and hydraulically-actuated disc brakes with cross-drilled rotors as well as a kick starter, a Keihin carburetor, a ProTaper handlebar, Oury grips, and elongated chrome A-arms. This final-year TRX250R is now offered at no reserve with photos of the refurbishment work and a clean Arizona title in the seller’s name.

Reproduction white plastic bodywork with red and black decals was installed and the box-section frame was repainted in red as part of the refurbishment. A reupholstered red vinyl seat sits behind a reconditioned 2.6-gallon fuel tank, and additional equipment includes a headlight and taillight, a Duncan Racing chrome front bumper, a rear grab bar, skid plates, and folding foot pegs.

The replacement 10″ front multi-piece alloy wheels are wrapped in Dunlop tires, and the 9″ rear wheels were mounted with Ohtsu tires as part of the refurbishment. Preload-adjustable shocks are fitted to chrome-finished elongated double A-arms up front, while an Elka remote-reservoir monoshock paired with a Pro-Link swingarm and linkage provide damping at the rear. Hydraulically-actuated disc braking is supplied by cross-drilled rotors at both front wheels as well as a single rotor at the rear axle. The swingarm bearings were replaced as part of the refurbishment.

The 1 1/8″ ProTaper handlebar wears a foam guard of the same brand and is mounted to a Roll Design lengthened steering stem via a vibration-suppressing clamp. Black Oury grips were fitted as part of the refurbishment and the handlebar carries black clutch and brake levers as well as a thumb throttle and switchgear for lighting and ignition. The ATV did not come factory-equipped with an odometer or other instrumentation, therefore true mileage is unknown.

The liquid-cooled 246cc two-stroke single is equipped with a kick starter, a Keihin carburetor, and reed-valve induction, and was overhauled as part of the refurbishment. Work included boring the cylinder, rebuilding the crankshaft and counter-balancer, vapor-honing the cylinder and carburetor, and refinishing the engine case. An LRD Racing expansion-chamber exhaust system, a Wiseco piston and rings, and an aluminum radiator and shrouds were installed at that time and the following parts were replaced:

  • Bearings
  • Crankcase seals
  • Petcock
  • Wiring harness

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed transmission and a replacement drive chain and sprockets. The clutch and the rear axle bearing carrier were replaced and a 4″ longer-than-stock rear axle was installed as part of the refurbishment.
