The 1985 XR250R carried on the compact RFVC-engined design introduced in 1984, with Pro-Link rear suspension and a front disc brake in a light double-cradle frame. Honda pitched it as ready to race straight out of the crate, fitted with hand guards, a skid plate and a spark arrestor for enduro use.
