The early CB250G's (not imported here) had a drum brake like the CB250K4.

We all have our opinions of them but they sure look a pretty bike and I was amazed when I sold some parts how much interest there is in them. Here is a 'before and after pic' of one I sold last year,only 2k miles but unloved and then as restored by the bloke I sold it to.

Thanks for the links Ash.. . I will have plenty of work to do..
Once I get it home and can look at the Vin I will have a better idea of what it needs to go back to how it should be...or modify it slightly to appeal more.

And we do all have our own likes and dislikes etc... personally...this one is one of my likes 😆

Bryanj:
The only reason i didnt like them in the workshop was owner abuse and lack of care/service then expecting me to make them perfect for no money!

Big thig was not cleaning the centrifugal oil filter taking out cams and heads then numpties forcing cam chain tensioners and breaking chains, not including reving the nuts off them cold shattering rings and wrecking pistons/bores.
