its a 97 honda CB250, paid 350 for it, item number is 160367048586

i was sort of tempted to look for a cheap bike to ride through winter as im far too lazy to clean all the shit off my r6 every week and i ended up riding my sv into salty oblivion over the space of 3 winters

opinions on this fine wee motor my fellow biking gurus

I agree, looks like a decent bike for the money. How much will it cost for the repairs though?

Good bike. There are worse things you could ride in the winter.

Good, solid, reliable winter hack.

Dog slow though (16bhp?).

Fork seals about £7.

Although I was given a tip on for seals. If they are just smearing a little oil along the stanchion, it's sometimes dust under the seal making it leak. If you get a strip of old photo negative, cut the edge straight (removing the notches) and wrap it tightly round the fork leg, you ought to be able to push it down between the seal and the stanchion. This scrapes any dust out and they seal again.

Chain and sprockets about £50, but you sometimes get away with just changing the chain every other time on low powered bikes, don't hook the teeth over as badly.
