Original CB250SS (well K0 if you insist !) on eBay

(1/2) > >>

AshimotoK0:
Rare 'Sardine Blue' Honda CB250SS

Needs total restoration though and don't be taken in by the mileage .. it has later metal body clocks on it . The 1968 to 1970 bikes (i.e up to K2) had plastic bodies clocks. This 30 BHP model ate cams and rockers !! Trust me I have stripped a few of those engines.
Looks like later CB250/360G5 silencers fitted but they are fooked anyway  ;)

It's rough but so far the price is okay.

Went for just over 1k ...probably about right as it was pretty rough ... really depends if the frame, tank and seat base were badly rusted. A genuine UK bike though and not many around now.  This low mile 'barn find' one was at Newark in Jan 2020 ..the guy was asking £2k but would have come down quite a bit  I think for ready cash.  Just shows that you still get decent stuff at autojumbles though and the power of eBay.
