Red is faster Ted, otherwise fire engines would be a different colour!

Looking spiffing Phil .. you need a tiddler to restore next.  S90? They are lovely little bikes.

Those emblems are great in that they are mode out of brass and chrome beautifully. The '250' version is rare now as is the 'TYPE 1" points cover ... and yes there was a type2 it was the 68/69 CD250 JDM model with 60°crank.

Too many! We will have to talk about this the next time we meet up for a sunday lunch mate

Congratulations Phil on a fantastic restoration, it looks awesome 👍. Get it run in before winter takes hold.

Not registered yet Dave so targeting next spring for riding it. I ride the other bikes on dry days throughout the winter - on a rotational basis so everything keeps working as it should (both me and the bike's!)

What about the Green Goddess ?

What about the Green Goddess ?

That's Elen of the Ways, after whom I named my bike! 

[Bryanj]

When the Green Godesses came out of retirement on a strike years ago 50% didnt get to deployment due to brake failure and they old do about 35 to 40 mph as most green stuff, some tanks and landrovers excepted so they dont count

That’s a lovely resto job there Ash! A real credit along with that impressive display of valuable parts.

Sorry Phil, I was giving Ash a little more credit than he deserves on this occasion. Lovely job. Love the colour.

It's not my resto it's Phils !!  But I do have 5 of that model type I am restoring .. hence the shiny parts. CB250K0 x2 , CB250K2 (all genuine UK)  & JDM250  (like in attached) & CB350K1 (USA)

I don't have a problem BTW being a collector of shiny parts .. doesn't bother me in the least .. seems to be others that have  a problem with it
