A mate had a new 250 dream in red, I always thought it was a good looking bike. Later I had a black XS250 with cast wheels, but I never liked it, thought it was gutless. Preferred to ride my MZ250. These days I keep buying bikes for spares but end up keeping them & can't bring myself to scrap them. And the decal preserve nature always wear a helmet lol.
I had an XS250 in black and gold nice looking but very heavy and never liked starting then I got a CB250T and loved it so bought the CB400T, but the same if I can save one of the bikes I do even if it costs more than its worth lol
Nice info regards these Bikes Pete. I can vouch regards the hard to find bits! You reeled off most of the parts I require for the next basket case I’m attempting. 😄
Thank you, some of the parts you can search for months for then finally get it and the next week there will be 6 for sale for half the price lol, when I get another frame I will be looking for some of the same parts, cant even find a frame at the moment though lol
Nice clean example Pete,i dont want one but remember when i worked in a Honda dealership a blue 400 automatic model,im sure there is a few of them still about👍
Jusy bought a cb250t to restore, it comes with a 400t engine and front double discs. I think i will maintain them. Anyway very useful video thx!! Where is located the honda frame label on the 250?
Speedo+Tacho from a CM400C or T would look good this bike if you would "customice" it a bit.. Chrome chainguard+ good old classic mirrors on the CM. Btw; I`m 65
Hi They are aftermarket 20" chrome megaphone silencers from ebay and are made by Emgo but are only about £55 each rather than £100+ for originals and they suit the bike and sound good, so worth while going for, hope this helps.
very interesting great bike
Thank you
nice viewing Pete - thank you

Cheers Pete, Lots of useful info in this upload.
