No, the last ones were the Superdream 250's Bryan, as when the law changed they became worthless, as no one wanted one after passing the test, they were only a couple of mph faster than the last unrestricted CB125 twins, and the unrestricted 125's started climbing in price, a bit like unrestricted mopeds Fizzy's and AP50's and SS50's did.

Ditto CB250RS single

Cheers all,
Agree they're not the least bit desirable but maybe that's a bit of the charm!

Only really got them as the 250's were just too cheap to ignore some years ago and the 360 came with the 400/4 which is still sitting on the naughty step while the ongoing carb flooding issue has seen us fall out badly.
I think they were just a misjudged design choice at the time and hard to imagine anyone at Honda bragging about being involved in bringing the CJ into the world.

My real love is the big 4 cylinder 4 strokes but I must say it is quite nice working on something smaller, simpler (and lighter) for a change.

Cheers,
Andy

Knew my brain was addled with guiness!! Forgot totally about the wet dreams

Obviously I'm a bit odd, but I have always had a soft spot for the CJ250/360. The plain yellow tank and black side panel have an appeal.
Good luck with the restoration, I will look forward to any updates
