Dirty CD250 + Shampoo, wash, wire wool = Clean CD250!

[Doovy]

i cleaned my CD250 for the first time in a few months, with all the rain and salt and grit on the roads it was kinda pointless, but as it was fairly sunny today i gave it a good clean!

I do like your CD250, it's classic and understated. Very tidy.

Looks really nice, you wouldn't want to see the state mine is in!

I do like the CD250U. If I ever have a few hundred quid lying around I'll probably buy another one in better nick and try to keep it nice. Trouble is where I do a lot of riding the bike constantly gets covered in crap and I don't enjoy cleaning.

I like the R on it.

[Doovy]

thanks for all the comments

yeah its nice and classic compared to most bikes around now, but still kills the hell out of the 125's around.

i am trying to keep it nice, so much dirt gets stuck to the chrome and spokes etc!

the R seems to be some kind of vinyl added by a previous owner i guess.. but since my fiance's name is Rachel its staying lol

since those pics i have two brand new tyres cornering so much better!!

Your blue CD looks like my W650 for me.
