1979 Honda XR500 XR250 XR200 Enduros - 4-Page Vintage Motorcycle Ad

Original, Vintage Magazine Advertisement

Page Size: Approx. 8" x 11" (21 cm x 28 cm) each page

Condition: Good

Right now, this looks just like your typical

horrendous enduro course.

A big long loop of ruts, rocks, roots, rivers, and

just plain rough stuff. All designed to make you

feel like selling yourself and your bike for parts.

But you know, this course would look a lot

different if you could get your hands on a 4-stroke

that really worked. Well, now you can.

The XR500, XR250, and XR200. Each one of

them gives you the tremendous powerband of a

4-stroke single. But since they’re a lot lighter

than you’d expect, they

give you the kind of han-

dling you need to get

serious out here.

And that means that

from now on, no enduro

course will ever look

the same.

If there’s one thing every good enduro rider

loves, it’s the chance to take unfair advantage of

the other guy.

To have a machine so hot that all those poor

bozos out there are sure you’ve found some

kind of shortcut.

Well, now you can have that hyper-trick

secret weapon.

A 4-stroke Honda XR enduro machine.

An XR500, XR250, or XR200.

Of course it’s unfair. But even better than

that, it’s perfectly legal, too.

And just look what you’ve got. A powerhouse

4-stroke single with all kinds of low-end

torque and mid-range punch. And more top-

end muscle than you're likely to ever need in

your typical enduro.

On the XR500 and XR250, you've got four

valves to the cylinder and Pentroof™combus-

tion chambers. And engine counter-balancers

that keep the vibration level of these torque-

pumping singles way down low. So you can ride

a lot longer before you start getting tired,

And on all three of the big XRs, the engine

is a stressed component of the diamond-

configuration frame. Which helps keep the

weight down. That’s one reason why they han-

dle like they do. Of course, the suspension

doesn’t hurt, either. Up front, you’ve got

leading-axle forks with 8.5 inches of travel or

more. In back, lay-down, inverted, gas-charged

shocks that give you 7.5 or more inches of rear

wheel travel.

On the XR500 and XR250, there’s a 23-inch

front wheel that floats over bumps, tracks

straighter, and stops shorter. And on all three

big XRs, you’ve got Honda’s exclusive self-

cleaning, claw-action tires that actually grab

into the dirt and hang on for lots more traction.

You’ve got all the neat little touches, too. Like

a folding-tip gearshift lever and brake pedal. A

wide-sweep speedometer. A tripmeter with big

numbers you can reset with your gloves on.

A tool bag that’s easy to get to. A trick combi-

nation wrench. A 25-watt headlight. And a

USDA-approved spark arrestor.

So put it all together. That tremendous four-

stroke powerband. The light weight.The han-

dling. All those neat little enduro touches.

And look what you’ve got at long last. Your

very own superbike for the dirt.

And that one secret weapon that’s going to

leave those other poor guys lost in the woods...
