Delux basically it meant it had twin disks and a posh stripe I guess someone had to buy one what an awful tool (CB250NA) no go (same as XS250) but had that silly euro style ..... twin discs .. like wow did it need to stop from the heady speeds it was capable of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted May 21, 2011 Moderator Share Posted May 21, 2011 Tell me about it, i think he had it for a couple of months tops as somebody on an rd250 kept on wasting him on the way to work.... That was when he bought the 1971 CB175 which he still has, which will come as no surprise is, if i remember rightly quicker on acceleration and top speed than the 250:lol: progress eh.

You mean the spongy twin carb twin that would do 0~60 quicker than the CB250N but looked like a pile of poo ? CB175 - RD200 no contest best get the old boy to buy an RD200 (it has electric start) and just pee over those Honda things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhat250 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 my KH125 was nearly as fast as the XS and could whip its ass from a standing start.. Aye its two-stroke thing canny " thats what i meant about honda"s, they never made a decent stroker for the road, 1970s, elsinore Moto x -ers were good, Cb400/4 cuddna look at RD400. Your speedo error musta gave the dream 250 99mph ,, been 88, maybe,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
