It might. It should be the correct length. A 91-95 XR250L shock should fit also.

I just saw that shock and though what a POS. I'm sure a XR shock would perform better..

How different would a crf250r shock be? There seems to be a wider cheaper And easier to find selection of suspension parts on fleabay and i wonder if with a little bit pf tweaking if it could work

My brief search says XR250 shocks are in the 12-13" range. This thing is 15"

That's EXACTLY what I've been wondering as it would make for a fairly cheap upgrade to a full adjustable rear shock. You'd still need to swap the spring and do a revalve to make it a little more plush for street/trail riding though. Also wonder if the CRF-R shock linkage would be bolt up, and if so would it provide a little extra travel and ground clearance?

Someone really needs to run out and sacrifice their brother/friend/sisters CRF-R/X for parts to find out.

Red_dog · 10-28-2012, 03:35 AM

just wondering if anyone remembers the URL for the Honda shop website? i forget wot its called, so i cant even google it.

Dirtchuck · 10-28-2012, 04:10 AM

Red_dog · 10-28-2012, 04:29 AM

Those are '85 and older XR250R's and XR200R. My '87 is 14.8", my '95 XR250L shock is 15"(both are 40mm KYB's) and '85-89 XR600R shocks are 15" long(36mm? Showa).

Both have adjustable compression and rebound damping. These are remote reservoir shocks.

I have no clue if a piggyback shock would fit. If so even longer better shocks are available.

James Bond 007 rides a Honda CRF250R motorcycle in the new action and adventure film Skyfall.

In the opening sequence Bond rides the motorcycle through the streets and on the rooftops of the city of Istanbul, Turkey. In typical 007 style the chase segment is fast and furious.

The film supposedly used 25 of the Honda CRF250Rs in various configurations for the production of the scenes. The CRF250R is a dirt bike. The obvious modifications that the filmmakers made to the motorcycles for stylistic purposes for the film were to add headlights, taillights, signal lights, windscreens, hand guards and tank modifications. Honda does produce a dual sport version of the CRF250 which is called the Honda CRF250L.

Here are some images of the motorcycles used during the production of the film.
See video
Here is a video with the original storyboard (scetchings) for the motorcycle segment.

Here is a video of the behind-the-scenes making of the motorcycle segment.

And finally, here is a video of the promotional trailer for the film.

Motorcycles and movies... what could be better.

I BOUGHT IT!! My local dealer had one CRF250L left. Hope to pick it up this week if that damn Hurricane Sandy doesn't mess things up too bad...It was actually a lot bigger than I thought it was.

2 Questions..

Is anyone using the man racks aluminum rack they sell on ebay?

What tail bag are you guys using on your bikes with the rack?

I found this one through touratech. Its in the G650 section, its a little pricey but looks nice..

I just got a Manracks utility rack. I'll be mounting it on the bike today.

Anyone checked out either of these two sites?

This one has a nice tail rack and some pannier options, even a windscreen for the 250l.:

This one has a exhaust kit that claims to add 3 to 5bhp.
