looks like a elite 250

Greetings:

Let's see... Huge instrument cluster, stepped saddle (conveniently pre-stripped of that pesky vinyl covering...), fat tires but still small-diameter, unrecognizable big engine block. Without the plastics it's hard to be sure but I agree with Baka.

If it's handy to your location, (and you're willing to invest the time dismantling) there may be way more than $100 in marketable parts on there. Who knows how much more? Sales can finance the build of your One True Love.

It's an '87 Elite 150.

The body panels are even harder to score than the '87 Elite 50s. That's a parts bike at best. The front fork is '87 only, but the motor will bolt directly into '85-'87 Elite 150s and '84 Elite 125s. The motor is a GY6LC and can push that bike over 62mph, so it may be worth having if it turns freely and the oil/coolant are still present.

Elite 150

I concur. That is an Elite 150 rear rack.

Actually you can buy brand new panels for that bike from a guy in San Francisco. $220 or so for a complete set in several colors. Check SF craigslist.

Those 87's are nice bikes- I have one

He goes by halfpricetrade on eBay. Last I checked, he was out. Maybe he's got a line on panels, as the '87 model bike was sold as the SYM Duke 150 for markedly longer than the Honda. My buddy had a pair of them that I rebuilt from trash. I'm more partial to the '85-'87 Elite 150s. Really wanted a CH150D, but then I got my '83 Yamaha and fell in lurve.

Wheels/tires too small for a 250. I'll agree with those voting 150.
