Title: CB250K0 at Newark Yesterday
Post by: AshimotoK0 on January 27, 2020, 12:13:49 PM: This August 1969 'H' registration CB250SS (K0) was at Newark Autojumble yesterday. Totally original as far as I could tell (Apart from reflector on rear mudguard/fender)... Just under 10k Miles on speedo. Seller was asking £2,000. Said it came from someones estate I think. I suppose if you were to just to get it running and tidy up to use then that might be a fair price but the photo's do flatter the condition somewhat so to totally restore it may make it a bit of a money pit. Pipes were pretty solid though and a rare sight at an autojumble in the UK. :) Last taxed in July 1985 according to DVLA ... Just noticed gearchange lever is not correct :)

I wasn't interested .. already have 3 ... don't need another one or any other bike for that matter ;D ;D

Note the double-cut front guard J .. just like the K0 750/sandcast and unique to European bikes. Two of mine still had the hydraulic cam chain tesioners fitted (not Honda's best idea ;D) .. forgot to check on that one.

That looks a good price to me

My brother had an F reg one, blue, back in the early seventies. Plagued with gearbox troubles. Fast though for a 250.
I had a 250 G5 in 76, nowhere near as quick.
