Although best remembered for riding triumphs and Huskys, Steve McQueen also loved his Japanese two stroke machinery. In this clip Steve rides the 1971 Honda CR250 Elsinore for a Japanese TV promotion.

The CR250 was called the “Elsinore”, after the off-road race held at Lake Elsinore, in which Steve competed in 1970. Steve entered the race as Harvey Mushman.  According to mcqueenonline.com Steve was paid $ 1 Million dollars for appearing in this ad.
