CB250 MC26 help

[Skoti]

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

Was that the “Nighthawk” over here?

Steve,

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

Well I managed to buy a 1994 CB Two Fifty, came from a collection in Austria.



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...

Looks like a bigger version of the 125 twin from the 80's or maybe the CD 250U

That's very clean, a good buy

A bit like a CM125 - my first bike!

We had a CB250 Two Fifty a few years back. It was parked up in a chaps kitchen up in Scunthorpe and the wife had said either the bike goes or he goes 😂😂😂 Bought it from him and moved it on a few weeks later, lovely little bikes.

That’s a tidy looking bike!
