This book has fantastic black & white photos of the 1973 to early 80's Elsinores and the motocross stars that rode them. There are specs and tips mostly for the 78-80 models but the groundbreaking 73 Elsinore 250 is not forgotten. There is even information about the early four strokes including XR's. If you rode a Honda during this era or just always wished you had one you need this book.
Great read if you are into vintage moto
I bought this to use as a reference while restoring a Honda Elsinore and found it helpful. Great book for Elsinore and vintage MX fans.
