El Snore: 1974 Honda CR250M Elsinore

It is said that the Honda Motor Company's founder, Soichiro Honda claimed that Honda would never make a two stoke motorcycle.  For some reason unknown to me, Mr. Honda disliked the noise and smoke of the two stroke.  When motocross became hot with the other Japanese manufacturers in the late 1960's, Soichiro had his engineers build a four stroke 125cc MX-er, and was badly beaten by his two stroke competitors.  If you can't beat them, join them.  Find this 1974 Honda CR250M Elsinore for sale in Silver Lake, OR for $2,000 via craigslist.

On Any Tuesday: 1969 Husqvarna 250 Cross

The image of Steve McQueen riding a Husqvarna 400 Cross on the beach at Camp Pendleton in On Any Sunday was burned into the impressionable young minds in the 1970's.  Steve was (still is) the epitome of cool.  In the film, Steve also rode the 400's little brother, the 250 Cross in the Lake Elsinore GP.
