If until now you asked if it was possible to release a Honda CR500 with almost 25 years of life, new, and in its original box, the answer is that yes. There is only a “small” problem, for this one we have had an amount very close to 70,000 euros.
We already know that the Old School have become a mere investment product for years, and in a case as singular as our protagonist today, this theory is only confirmed even more.

It is not the first time we find a new CR500 package
This beautiful 2001 Honda CR500 has recently been auctioned in the well -known EBAY advertisement portal. As explained by their vendors, Kaplan Cycles (a concessionaire and motorcycle restoration workshop located in Rockville, Connecticut), we are facing that possibly the last “new package” CR500 that exists in the world. Apparently until now he had belonged to an official Honda dealer.
This motorcycle was never registered in the name of an individual and has always been maintained in its original and exhibited box, in a heated room, during the last 24 years at the New England motorcycle museum. Likewise, the seller sets as an example of a similar sale a Honda ATC250R of 1986 that was recently sold for a whopping 200,000 dollars.
However, it is not the first time that we see a CR500 in its original box. In 2019 we showed you as another specimen identical to this in an Australian specialized workshop, although the video of that ritual dated three years before. Therefore, almost a decade later finding another unit in the same state is practically a miracle, although something that is not impossible.
In conclusion this CR500, associated with the frame number JH2PE02321M000297 has finally been awarded by a total figure of 78,100 dollarsjust over 68,000 euros, so many specialized media wonder if this could be the most expensive cross motorcycle in history ever sold.
That data cannot be confirmed or deny it, but we can facilitate the link where you can delight with all the images in detail of this true jewel of the Japanese firm that we fear much, will never step on the mud of any offroad clue.
