1. HONDA CR250 ELSINORE
This was one of the bikes that truly was a world changer. In 1973, no other bike in its class was even close. Put a decent set of shocks on the rear and most open bikes couldn’t stay with it on a motocross track. The ultra lightweight, narrow profile and excellent handling gave the Elsinore a huge edge over all the other bikes in its class. All things considered, one might have to say this is the vintage bike of all time.
