1987 Honda CBR250R Hurricane (MC17-1022554) 4,249 km (2635 mi)
Here we have an example of Honda’s original CBR250R—the MC17—representing the first generation of Honda’s high-revving quarter-liter sport bike lineage.
Powered by a jewel-like inline four-cylinder engine and paired with a lightweight, race-inspired chassis, the MC17 set the foundation for the legendary CBR250 series. Its analog character, period styling, and precision engineering make it a standout among late-1980s Japanese sport bikes.
This example shows just 4,249 kilometers and presents in highly original condition, finished in classic Honda tri-color livery. The overall impression is of a clean, well-kept bike with exceptionally low mileage—an increasingly rare find in today’s market.
