HONDA · HONDA XR250R · Cars
As of 2026 Q1, 2 HONDA XR250Rs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 7 in 2014 Q3 — only 29% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 5 cars. Numbers have held broadly steady over recent years rather than falling away — often the mark of a model that owners deliberately preserve. In all, the HONDA XR250R is rarer than 90% of the 2,429 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.

The Honda XR series is a range of four-stroke off-road motorcycles that were designed in Japan but assembled all over the world. Some of the XR series came in two versions: R and L. The R version bikes were enduro machines designed for off-road competitive riding. They were fitted with knobby off-road tires and were not always street legal. The L version models were dual-sport trailbikes, fitted with lights, indicators, horn, and street-legal tires.
As of 2026 Q1, 2 HONDA XR250R were still registered in the UK — 1 licensed and on the road, plus 1 declared SORN (off-road). The figures come from official DVLA vehicle licensing data.
