    Hey guys, I ride a '90 cbr250rr mc22 and based in Perth WA. Bought her back in 2015 as a race bike and did a restoration to get her looking stock. It's been great while it has been on the road but I managed to lowside it through a roundabout being a hero on cold tyres late 2016. Ever since then I've been rebuilding it from frame up trying to get everything perfect, been a very enjoyable process so far and still heaps of parts sitting and waiting. Just finished up rebuilding the carbies yesterday so she'll be running soon. If anyone is actually interested I have a build blog I barely update haha http://666250rr.blogspot.com.au/

    Other than that I've got a genuine interest in the golden age inline 4 250's and I'm sure I will own numerous when money permits :D Before buying this bike I almost had my hands on a ZXR250 instead, their exhaust note has a nicer tone than the MC22's imo


    Keen to get back on the road with nice sticky tyres...

    thanks mate! yeah you get a great forearm workout from it hey haha, it's similar to prep for paint, the more work you put into getting each grain smooth the better the result once you buff
