indentifying cr 250 model year using engine number

[maicoman1954]

I'm buying a honda cr 250 from somebody who only has the engine number. the frame tag is missing. It's between a 74 and a 79. Is there a chart anywhere that you can plug an engine number into and come up the the model year? This engine number is: CR 250 ME-2003037 Any help appreciated!!

That serial number corresponds to a 1975 CR250 M1.

CR 250 ME-2003037

Serial numbers for that engine, that year began with
CR250ME-2000001 - 2005487 making yours a mid
production motor.

the frame tag is missing

Honda didn't use frame tags on the early Elsinores.
The frame serial is engraved in the head tube.
Look closely at the head tube because enough
coats of paint or powder coating will render the
engraving nearly invisible. The number will be
CR250M-2000001 - 2005439 if the frame and
engine are numbers matching.

Hope this helps.
