    Hi Guys
    Many moons ago I was a full time rider, no means of transport other than my not so trusty Mach III, along came a wife and kids and away went the bikes.
    I have now inherited a 1999 CB250 from my youngest son and have started getting it ready to ride, much to the disgust of the aforesaid wife!
    The bike is in fairly good condition for its age with only a few minor problems, the worst being the tacho doesn't work, this one is a real piss-off because the bolt that holds the drive into the case no longer has a head :-( , ah well,life wasn't meant to be easy!

    Cheers,
    Bob (aka old_fart)

    Welcome aboard (& back to riding) Bob. Mach III was a real weapon back in the day. I bet you wish you still had it!

    Welcome Bob
    I've ridden all 3 and the S2 I found to be the most balanced and certainly the most enjoyable. Great little bike.
    cheers
