Even though it's a tiny little thing, it sound SO incredibly good. I can't wait to get one of these.

We have these bikes in New Zealand. My first 250 after getting my license was the older MC17 a 1987 CBR250R, it redlined at 18,000 rpm and had no limiter. I have had the Yamaha FZR250R as well it cost me $2000. I sold the CBR in the end for $1300 and the FZR i got my money back. I also had a rare Katana 250 4 cylinder, only 5 in New Zealand at the time. Basically a scaled down 750 in every detail very nice raspy F1 sound, I loved it.

Just picked up an MC19 for a first bike, in no small part thanks to videos like this. Love it already, cheers from Australia.

Hi Luc, curious if you ever had a ride on an FZR250R of the same generation as this MC22 (3LN1/3/6) and if so, how would you compare the two. I really wanted the Honda but a good deal on an FZR came up and to my knowledge the Fizzer was 2nd pick of the 4cyl 250's, little lighter and more agile with the tyre dimensions.

Hi Jack, I haven't ridden on one, but I have seen one up close at a meet. The only thing I noticed was that the build quality looked cheaper than the Honda and the redline is 2000 rpm lower.

They are very, very rare in every country in Europe. You have 3 options, for each which you have to be very patient. Option 1: Keep your eye DAILY on local and international secondhand vehicle websites, such as AutoScout or De-Parking. I even got mine from a local website after 8 years of waiting and searching from a guy just 10km from my own home. I also say 'daily', because they can be gone in a day since the demand is so high. Option 2: Find a Japanese or Australian vehicle importer in your country. They should be able to source the vehicle you're looking for much quicker than yourself. It will cost you a lot of money and time though, because the importer will have to source several vehicles at once to fill shipping crates with, to reduce the total cost of the shipping to make their trade more feasible. Option 3: This is probably the fastest option, but the most expensive. Go to Japan or Australia yourself, buy one over there and arrange the shipping back to Slovakia yourself. You would need to get a shipping container for just one bike, so the shipping costs would probably exceed the cost of the bike itself. Tl;Dr: you need to be very patient and resourceful, or have a big bag of cash unfortunately 😅

@@jasicjan You're welcome! Most normal maintenance and spare parts are easy to find. The MC22 shares quite some parts with common European Honda's. Some parts may be a bit more difficult to source, but not impossible. I've had the most help from CMSNL.com. They have an abundant database for all Honda OEM parts. They might not always have the part you're looking for in stock, but sometimes it helps by looking up the part number you require and throwing that into a Google search. Or you can look if a certain Euro Honda shares the same part number. Other sources I've found helpful are eBay.com, Yahoo Japan (yahoo.aleado.com/0-catlist.html) and my local Honda dealer. Official Honda dealers have international connections which you yourself will never find on the internet, so this has proven useful in the past for me :) They were for instance able to source an OEM clutch cover gasket from Italy.
