I had one as a city commuter many years ago. It went. Always. Got it up to about 140 at times....just.

I brought myself a cb250 rs last month as a learner bike, its a very forgiving bike and since its light as its pretty easy to handle... just don't stall it at the lights or its a hassle with the kick start

Looks like a good condition at a very reasonable price (to my untrained eyes). Does anyone have any opinions to offer about these machines?

They're awesome! I owned mine for 6 years and did 2 trips around the South Island on her and lots of other trips and kms. I had no major mechanical problems. Easy to maintain and look after.

Not very powerful though and they are a kick-start which can be a bit tiresome. It really depends what you want it for.

If I'd had the $$ and a garage I would've held onto mine and restored it. The 1 you're looking at on TM is the original colour of mine...oh the memories!
