Overview
Honda CRM 250AR
CRM250 AR 1996 - 1999 And this is where it all stopped. Honda like all manufacturers were under increasing pressure from the USA and it's own country to clean up it's act and this is the first and only production bike that used Honda's development "Active Radical System". The "Active Radical System" or AR as it was known was a clever way to reduce emmisions from the unfreindly 2 stroke engine while giving more low down grunt at the same time. To ride a AR for the first time is quite odd. On the over-run it feels more like a 4 stroke engine and almost feels like the ignition has been cut, yet as soon as the throttle is opened up it kicks straight back into life. The AR models are very different not only in the engine area, but also the ignition and carburation, And features many electronic pickups and sensors to give the maximum burn with maximum efficiency. Dont let the style fool you with a Mk3 as the frames and motor are not interchangeable. Regarded by many as the Ultimate CRM250.
