Charles’s Two-Stroke 308 cc Honda CR250

This is a 2001 Honda CR250 two-stroke 308 cc, with 59 horsepower and a five-speed gearbox that is kick started. This bike has front Superbike Forks with Alpina wheels, and custom-made exhaust and sub-frame. All colors are powder coated.

I love this bike, but I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s because I have a secret love for two-stroke engines. Maybe it’s because it just screams sex. I am not sure. No matter how many times I post this bike on the Internet the views are always in the thousands. I do know the bike was photographed during the early days of the project using less-than-quality lighting.

Despite the poor quality lighting and low quality lens, the image is okay. I recently opened the image with Photoshop CC (2017). Using Photoshop’s Camera Raw, I was able to correct some of the lighting issues and soft edges. It is a miracle I was able to save the images—this was shot in the early days when we had no clue.
