Hi people. Thought i'd post a few piccies of my bike and introduce myself while I am at it! Yeah I have been riding 200 miles a week since July last year, had a Honda c90 (whey! - wheelie machine!) until November when I passed my test and got a Cb250RS. 1980 with 17000 miles on the clock for £850 with 12 months T&T, new oil and fork seals. It had a recent Motad system and two very good Pirelli MT65's. So a bloody bargain if you ask me! It is certainly clean for a 28 year old bike! Urr oh and I got buggered for doing a whopping 36mph by a mobile camera unit, but luckily no points because of Driver awareness course Dance! Anyway there you go take it easy people!

Sometimes if you get flashed doing a small amount over the speed limit (34 in a 30 for example) you MAY be offered a choice of either 3 points and a £60 fine or a drivers awareness course at the cost of £60 instead of the points.

Ha ha, I think the waiting lists would be huge if it gave immunity to points and speeding tickets!!

Only just noticed this thread!

Nice bike Rob, that's spankily clean for a 1980 version. Thumbs Up

Your centre stand isn't made of rust, for starters!!! Laughing

Enjoy, and watch those cameras. Police Sad

I wrote a letter along with it so I don't know if that helped or not. I know someone that got caught doing the same and they did not get offered it, but then this was by an actual speed camera, not a camera car.

Thanks for the replies

main rust point on the frame is just below the rear engine mount, the barrel section holding the 2 sides together above the centre stand. shouldn't be an issue, just keep an eye on it.

bolts on the top end are common to leak a bit of oil, no biggie, and if you want to seal it up then you can unwind the bolts, silicone them and drop them back in. i just use it as a way of knowing theres oil getting to the top end.


looks like a good un though, good find.

Cheers
John


p.s. i wont tell you mine was only 160 quid Wink

Yeah you bet there are top end oil leaks!! One from the rocker shaft bolt, one from the tacho drive and three from the bolts holding the rocker cover on. All fixed under warranty though Thumbs Up
