This is a 1/12 scale plastic model kit depicting the 1991 Honda XLR250R MD22 in motard custom form, released as part of Hasegawa's 1/12 bike series.
The Honda XLR250R (MD22) is a lightweight dual-sport motorcycle designed to be competent both on road and off. Using a compact single-cylinder four-stroke layout, the real machine was a practical trail and commuter option. Its chassis and seating position made it an easy platform for motard-style adaptations that prioritise road-focused wheels and braking over off-road fittings.
The kit reproduces the XLR250R external shape with attention to the frame profile and motard body components. Parts are supplied as injection-moulded plastic intended for assembly and finishing by the modeller. Surface detail highlights visible areas such as frame members, fuel tank lines, seat contours, and simplified suspension and exhaust elements that take paint and light weathering well. The kit is aimed at presenting a customised motard look rather than detailed mechanical interiors.
A compact 1/12 model prioritising external fidelity and motard styling, well suited to display shelves or compact diorama scenes.
