Yes, it's a 4 stroke.
A little Ag bike, a CT125, I believe only a few made for the Australian market.
I used to have an Elsinore, 250 2 stroke, red motor in red frame, also called a red devil.

Had an MT250 when a young fella,basically a road legal variant of the 250 motorcross bike the CR as your mentioning,had the Elsinore stickers on sidecovers etc,bought this years back which is one of the first XL250s (4 stroke) which they called Motorsport and pretty rare these days with the original high pipe.

Thing had been on a farm all its life and pic was taken after arriving home removing front and rear trays and giving it a scrub up probably its first for 40 years came up ok,bloke gave me a box of bits which included oem tail light/speedo/rev counter etc.Having sat in a shed for years untouched when i took it off trailer at home i found the forks had locked up as you can see in pic,that said we drained gas put some fresh stuff in it and it fired up after 7/8 kicks.

No oil under a Detroit means its out of oil.

It's a video not a pic but still a good giggle. 50k without an oil change.

Some nice 16 bit artwork from the Commodore Amiga game Agony.

The artwork is better than the gameplay imho.
