    Hey People,
    I am in Perth WA and have just acquired my first 250cc bike.
    I have a tendency to buy broken bikes, fix, then put at the back of the shed and look at them.


    My latest bike is a CBR250Rh, also known as the Hurricane.
    An import to Australia so fairly rare.
    Good in some ways, hard in others (like finding parts)

    Other running bikes include
    Honda GB400TT
    Honda Postie (everyone has to have one of these)
    Honda Dream CA77
    Honda C92 Benly
    Vespa Rally 180
    Bajaj Chetak x 3
    Heinkel Tourist

    non runners
    Honda C90 (almost finished)
    Honda CB350T
    Honda CB500/4
    Honda C77 Dream
    Vespa SS180
    Vespa Sprint Veloce
    Lambretta Star Stream
    Puch RLA125

    Cheers,
    Greg

    Welcome Greg, nice collection there. You will find plenty of info here on the small Honda's. We love photos here too. The only one I don't know is the Bajaj, is that a Jawa?
    Are you a Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club member by any chance?

    Bajaj is an Indian made direct copy (ie read same castings) of the early Vespa's. I spent some time in India and ended up importing a few.

    I have the worlds messiest shed at the moment, but here are a few photos anyway.

    One day I will pull them all out and do a proper shot....

    Nice, a C92? mine is a 1962 version.
    Actually just saw your description. Yours is a CA77 like my red one.
    The black one is a 125cc version.
    I thought I had one of the only CA77 in Australia! so there you go.
    the CA77 is the American version of the C77 which was sold here in Australia, which I am sure you are aware....

    David Silver in the UK has pretty much everything you need for your 305.
    Best thing I did to my 305 was put electronic ignition into it. About $400 I think, but it was like a whole different bike.
    You can get this from www.honda305.com
    The forum there is also good. Mostly American but very helpful.

    Don't restore it keep the patina and just make sure the mechanicals work well.
    Bikes like that look great all rusty and scratched (IMO)
