bedfordbiker 0 Posted October 2, 2011 Finally got around to buying myself a bigger (only slightly bigger) motorcycle!Last week I spent £250 on a 1983 CB250 NIt needs a few weekends worth of work doing to it before it's on the road, but I think it's worth it for the price I got it for!I'm not too bothered about the aftermarket parts on it since i'm only keeping this bike for a couple of years until i'm no longer restricted to 33bhp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bedfordbiker 0 Posted October 3, 2011 It doesn't need too much work doing to itThe carburettors need cleaning outFork stanchions need rechroming Need new rear shock absorbers and new batteryaaaand the frame and swinging arm need paintingI only have time to work on it at weekends so I reckon it should be on the road by the end of the month And in answer to BanditMike, my restriction ends in 2 years so not long!
