...a CBR250r. bought this is a stop gap until I find the right NC30. A 1 UK owner bike, very tidy and original bike apart from replacement lower fairings and a scuff on the engine casing. It rides very well and over the last week or two has been a nice gentle re-introduction to biking after nearly twenty years. Too say im pleased with it is an understatement and i think ill be keeping this regardless of what I get next.

That's lovely. I've always fancied a go on one to see just how much difference there is to a 400.

What does 18k rpm sound like?!

looks rather nice! i had a think about a zxr250 before getting the nc29, the sound of a tiny engine at nearly 20k rpm is awesome!

A cross between an F1 car and a Dremmel

Love it,

I really want one but its the one with the gullarm I'm after.

cheers, not many about it seems.

Does anynone know of a suuplier for parts. Im not looking to modify it as such maybe an exhaust

Also are the deristricted CDis worth looking at?

The exhaust is one piece, by the look of it. So you'd have to chop it and fit a can on - seems a horrible thing to do to what might be the last decent OE exhaust in the land? I wonder if nc23 headers would fit it? The basic engine is the same, after all.

Derestricted CDIs? Do you mean this bike will get up to 180km/h?! If so then no, just remove the restrictor, assuming it's the same as the 400's.

I wouldn't even try to make this bike faster - if you want to go fast then a 250 was the wrong thing to buy!

If you mean chinese CDI that do everything bar make a brew - then avoid them!

it is slow (relatively) but that is not the point, get it revving it's arse off and you'll be reet

Definately not chopping up the exhaust

to be fair, it doesn't hang about as is so ill leave well alone

cheers
