About the original
The Honda CRF250R is a 249cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder motocross race bike built on a twin-spar aluminum frame with a Unicam fuel-injected engine, Showa inverted front forks, and a linkage-type Pro-Link rear shock. Honda Motor Co. was founded in 1948 in Hamamatsu, Japan and introduced the CRF250R in 2004 as the four-stroke replacement for the CR250R two-stroke; the model has remained one of the most-raced 250-class bikes in AMA amateur and pro motocross since launch. The Supreme FW19 version adds co-branded graphics to the tank, seat, and shroud and retailed for $10,998, approximately $2,600 over the base MSRP.
About Honda

The company began with clip-on motorized bicycles before releasing the Super Cub in 1958, now the best-selling motor vehicle in history with over 100 million units produced. Honda entered the car market in 1963 and has since produced the Civic, Accord, and NSX, along with VTEC engines, the ASIMO humanoid robot, and HondaJet aircraft. It is the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer by volume. Supreme's Honda collaboration drew on the brand's motorsport graphics and Super Cub heritage.
