	I've been collecting parts for this bike for about 3 years. I'll send out the jug and new piston for a fresh re-bore this week and start putting it back together soon.....finally Here is the bike/parts I was left with after a customer walked away from it 3 yrs ago. Every bearing in the engine & frame was toast, and a power valve broke off and wacked the piston Here it is 2 days ago. Frame painted and almost all of the parts. I still need to rebuild the rear brake, install a new chain guide and chain buffer pad on the swingarm, plus new bars, levers, cables and grips. THEN I'm ready to rip!! Everything is ordered & on the way......I hope I want it to look showroom fresh when I'm finished......and then I'm gonna get it dirty and RACE it!!! Over 30 yrs of pre-mix and expansion chambers!!

	Quote originally posted by DarksideCR Mens 50 - 60yrs HAHA!! Not quite THAT old.....but getting closer every day, unfortunately!! It`s really not a vintage or even an evolution class bike yet, so I`ll race it in the 40+ Int. class against all the thumpers for now. Over 30 yrs of pre-mix and expansion chambers!!

	For real though, thats a nice bike. Last year i rode a 89' CR250 and i loved it. I really miss it for some reason, it was a really fun bike. The honda revolution continues! Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit
