Does it look 30 years old to you?

Doesn’t matter, because whether you’re a more mature rider who remembers when the 1986 Honda CR250R was the scourge at local motocross tracks or whether you’re a 20-something who thinks it would be cool to have a “vintage bike” in your collection, the AMA is raffling a Honda CR250R, circa 1986, at its 2015 AMA Championship Banquet on January 23 at The Hyatt Regency in Columbus, Ohio.

According to the AMA, all proceeds from the raffle will benefit the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. You can obtain chance to win with a $5 donation, or five chances to win with a $20 donation. To donate, see www.motorcyclemuseum.org > Raffle Bike or call 614-856-2222.

2015_CR250R_raffle_bike_400pxc“Vintage racing is attracting a whole new generation of competitors, drawn to the carefree fun that can be had on bikes such as this ’86 Honda CR250R,” said AMA Chief Operations Officer Jeff Massey. “This motorcycle was made for one thing: having a great time on two wheels. I know the new owner will enjoy it just as it was meant to be enjoyed 30 years ago. Who knows, he or she might even ride it to an AMA national class title at next summer’s AMA Vintage Grand Championship during AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days.”

The 2015 AMA Championship Banquet honors competitors who placed first, second or third in AMA National Championship Series and at AMA Grand Championship events. Class champions will receive medals and AMA No. 1 plates at the banquet, while second- and third-place finishers also will receive awards. All who wish to celebrate the 2015 racing season are invited to attend. The program will include dinner, door prizes, a reception and a bike show. Attendees also are invited to attend an open house at the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame the day before the banquet on Friday, January 22.

The Hyatt Regency is a full-service hotel and conference center in the Greater Columbus Convention Center at 350 N. High Street in downtown Columbus. It is less than 25 minutes from AMA headquarters and the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in nearby Pickerington. To register to attend, visit www.americanmotorcyclist.com/racing/racingbanquet.aspx.
