HONDA CBX250
What you are bidding on is the LEGENDARY CBX250
this bike has been just about everywhere , visited such stunning places as
the infamous Oxley several times , done the snowy run , been down dirt roads
,crossed huge rivers , you name it its just about done it all and kept up
with the bigger bikes , not only that it went for an offroad excursion up
the oxley when trying to go round a Harley the footpeg dug in (they dont
have the worlds best ground clearance) and spat the rider off at 80KPH, got
back up and away again with only a couple of scratches to show for this
death defying feat
these bikes are simply amazing, they can go forever on the one spark plug ,
they rarely need brake pads , and literally run on the smell of an oily rag
well it did for many months until someone didnt check the oil , hmm was that
before the oxley run or did i check it before the snowy run ??
anyway what ended up happening was the piston slowly started to get a
little hot from the constant redlining and it lost compression until it came
to a stop from no compression rather than seizing , as it was fortunate that
when this happened it was pouring rain and kept the engine cool
pulling the top end off found some minor scoring of the bore , bottom end
seems fine so it looks to basically need a rebore for which you can punch
these mighty fine machines out to 280cc for that huge increase in horsepower
, just ask the dirtbike guys as this is basically an XR250 with an electric
starter , they go for years flogged mercilessly and are still made so a
testament to the fine Honda engineering , so a rebore, new piston and rings
, if you can do this work yourself looking at around $300 worth of parts
so here is your chance for an absolute bargain for a bike with and amazing
and colourful history
the reason for ebay is due to the owner being only 2 months from full
licence has lost all interest and much prefers to catch the bus for 80 mins
a day commuting , and now i know why , with the hot weather here now have
you seen the women that ride the bus

, so grab it while you can before he
changes his mind
