I do like the way your bike stands as you look at the  photo  - the seat & bars look comfy with a clean classic type design of the period.

Thanks.  Luckily you cannot see the other side of the tank which has a scratch.  I have to buy it as I have been in hospital for some months and am as weak as a kitten at the moment and cannot use the CN650Z or my Triumph as both are too heavy to move around.

Yikes you sound as though you have been in a bad way to be in hospital that long - especially these days.

I'd have thought 100 as it would do 80 and they always seemed to put extra MPH on there just to fool you that it could do it. It couldn't.

That is what I would have thought but it has an 80mph speedo which, it seems to me, would be for the 185/200 bike and the 100mph for the 250 and 400.

I'm starting to think I should have gone for the 250N SuperDream

Exact same engine. CM250T is better looking IMO as well. Probably worth more as well.
