In the 250 class, Honda made very few changes for 1979. New porting was spec’d and a new “GP Reed-Valve” was added to the intake to beef up the quasar-fast Elsie’s lackluster low-end torque. The 250 inherited the same terrible Claw-less Action meats as the 125, but thankfully got spared the Bizarro 23” front wheel. Chassis and suspension changes were minimal and the bike ended up being just as bad in that department as the year before. With a swap in tires, upgraded suspension and an alloy swingarm it was magic; in stock condition, however, it was way too fast for the rest of the bike to keep up.
