Launched in 1976, the MR250 Elsinore was based closely on the previous years CR250 of the same name. The Enduro, at that time a road legal Moto-Cross bike was popular, especially with the number board still on the side, giving the machine competition credentials! Whilst the ‘Street Scrambler’ was more for show than go, and the Trail Bike was for more gentle back-lane riding, the Enduro was for serious off-road charging!

The MR250 Elsinore was sold in 1976 in Light Ruby Red with White. The gas tank and side covers were red. The tank contained 3.4 US gallons (12.9 litres). The fenders were white, color-impregnated plastic. The headlight had a silver shell and a chrome rock guard. The engine was a 248cc 2-stroke piston port single cylinder linked to a 5-speed. The serial number began MR250-1000001.
