Hi, I am the proud new owner of a 1980 Honda CB 250 rs, she is a project bike that I fell in love with and am excited to get back on the road, there are a few cosmetic problems. But ... time is on my side and mechanically the bike is pretty sound. I was looking for the original shop manual when I came across this website. So Hi to you all feel free to introduce yourself, I have owned a couple bikes over the years starting on a little Yamaha mx80 when I was a child, I had a Honda CB250N for a few years in my twenties. Now I just want to potter on an old bike and give her a second lease on life. Cheers
to the community Manuals for your bike are here and require Premium membership for access ..... hopefully to encourage people to hang around http://2fiftycc.com/index.php?account/upgrades http://2fiftycc.com/index.php?resources/categories/cb250-rs.66/ Enjoy the forum!
I grew up on the back of my mum's CB250RS. I have 3 of them now - one I had registered and running last year and rode all the way up to Tamworth from Canberra. Even made it back again!
Well I know its been awhile but I just wanted to put up a photo of how my bike looks today, few more little things to go ... but coming along rather nicely .... she is registered on the road ready to go
Looks like all she needs is a set of repro decals and some clear-coat on top of those! I have a nice set from eBay - let me know if you want the seller's details.
Looking good! As another proud owner of a 1980 CB250RS, I just can't understand why some reviews of the bike criticised the styling. I think the simplicity of the shape perfectly matches the simplicity of the mechanical design. I have read that the later version that was tarted up with fancy stripes and colours didn't sell as well as the earlier version like yours and mine.. Maybe that means I am not the only one that appreciates simplicity.
Your right I just love the whole shape of these bikes ..... To me they just stand out in the crowd Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
