Just put in for the ULEZ test. It'll probably be fine.
Its not worth it, but you know that already.

Leaving as 1982 will, its probably/close to MOT/Tax exempt and insurance on it is like £50. Touching it, with those retarded fingers, will devalue it. |
Thanks for continuing to be a bully, hope you feel big and strong |

Thanks for the info on those models, yeah I've calculated it's £100 a year lower on insurance, £44 tax, £40 MOT, so that's £184 a year saving, plus £175 ULEZ testing which there's no guarantee it will pass. So keep the bike 5.5 years and it's paid for itself. So to me personally, that's worth it IF I can find a suitable candidate that's an easy swap, that's the unknown and I won't do it unless I'm confident it's an easy job. |
So... I assume... those calculations include telling the insurance company that you've put an engine from one bike into the frame of another? They tend to take a pretty dim view of that kind of thing. |
That's actually a very good point, I've not actually thought about that, if it's a 250cc going into a 250cc frame, is it not a simple like for like engine change? New for old, just inform the DVLA for the new engine code on the V5? Or would it be seen as a custom bike and need specialist insurance?
Thanks for that, Definitely worth a call to the insurance company, thanks for the heads up. |

Thank you! How confident are you that the CB250 frames are a straight bolt for bolt engine change? On another forum I'm getting told the CB125T is a better fit as the CB250 engines are bigger than my CD250u? Is that right? |

Actually I remember now, I looked at that listing before and my frame doesn't have the two bottom supports on the frame, just the down tube, so definitely a different engine mounting to mine |

How is this going to work with your A1 license?
You shoe horned a 100cc engine into a 125cc frame so you could do the A1 test without having an appropriate bike, I'm intrigued as to where the CB250 fits in the master plan.
