Title: CB250 MC26 help
Post by: Skoti on February 27, 2024, 04:32:55 PM: Wondering if anybody can advise me on known problems to look out for when buying a CB250 type MC26.
It's a 1996 model that's done 23,000km.

I'm not intimately familiar with this model as it was launched after I already had given up working in a Honda stealership.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Skoti

I think it looks similar to the Nighthawk, but the one I'm gonna look at has ''CB Two Fifty" on the side panels.

It's not needing much done apart from servicing, fluid changes and replace the 12 year old tyres.
I've ridden it and it feels like a modern version of the old 1970's CD175 that some of you may remember.

My wife is gonna use it, I'm sure it won't frighten her with too much performance...
