My 'new' XL250K0 Motosport
« on: April 14, 2021, 01:46:06 PM »
Well, I've just got back from viewing and putting a deposit on an original unrestored UK XL250K0 Motosport with 10,280 miles from new and the same owner since 1989. It'll need a little cleaning but I'm very please with it, particularly as it comes with a boxed NOS tank and mudguard set, plus the original tank and mudguards which have been painted by Dream Machine and are due back in a few weeks which is when I'll take delivery.

Photos below with the NOS paintset and original registration number which is pretty cool:  8)

Nice bike Andrew, a good buy. Being slim and a single it will be a hoot to ride around town. I have much more fun on my CB250RSA around town than I do on the VFR. Enjoy it.

Thanks folks, I'm looking forward to taking delivery in a few weeks. I think I've decided to let the K1 go and focus more classic 70's trail bikes.

Bit of a update.
The Electric world 12v convertion works a treat. The bike has never started so easily. Strongly recommend.

I think Andrew. You will find the Motorsport s very pleasing bike to ride on the road.

Do you happen to have any details on this 12v conversion and which bikes it will suit.. I am in the middle of an SL125 restoration and 12V would be nice to have.

Nice pickup on the XL250KO as well... they are rare and expensive here in Australia...

It's possibly this supplier https://www.electrexworld.co.uk/ as looks like the autocorrect may have nobbled the original post to make it "electric" instead.

Thanks Andy, very happy to have found a UK K0 model - hope the attached 12v conversion is useful, it was downloaded from the Honda XL250 XL350 SidePort FB page.

BTW, my first bike was a new SL125 in 1974.

Yes. The 12v conversion I'm using is the mighty fine Electric world item.
Very simple to fit. But you will have to convert to Led bulbs throughout.
