Which Honda engine are we talking about actually? XL? CRF?


Just as Colin says in the Youtube video, the engine is based on a Honda CBF230, which is a product that was never released in North America, AFAIK. The CRF230 looks to be the same platform as well, with a two-valve OHC and electric start. BTW, your engine is likely to be 230cc also, despite it being referred to as a 250. You might see the actual displacement stamped on the engine.

The top end of your engine is very familiar to me, because it is just like a two-valve OHC XR200R.
