Because he can....?

I suppose it keeps him off the street.

True that....... As they say, put a lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig.

In this case, that's insulting to pigs.



It would be an interesting challenge - come up with a bike that was worse than a CB250T in respect of performance and value for money when new and when compared to its contemporaries.

380 pounds, 27hp and comstar wheels.
And this muppet wants 4 grand for it...

172kg for anyone born in the 80's or 90's

That is mighty heavy for a 250, though I think my Hyosung was about that heavy with less power, go Korea.

I do wonder if someone who had one of them back in the day will get nostalgic and pick it up, I wouldn't see myself paying 4k for it though.

I paid 4k for a rego'd and warranted 1981 XT500 with only 32,000km on it.
I know what I'd rather have...

The old VT250F ???? Fugly and slow

Nah, the VT is not as hideous as a CB250T and in it's day was probably quite good:

That's easy... Yamaha XS250. Probably heavier, definitely slower - and the only bike i've ever struck factory limited by it's fuel tap.
About 3 miles flat tack - not very fast which is why wide open...and they're gasping for fuel. The tap - standard - does not flow enough fuel for the engine's needs. Low though they are...

I had an xs250 rk. In about 04 I felt so proud to see this was regarded by several bike mag polls to be the worst bike ever sold.
In 1994 I would not have concurred.
In 2004 I could well see through the first bike cataracts.

It's not unfair to say there is a reason I don't have more than one pic...

Back pre GSXR750 1986 or something no one cared about weight.

I don't know about that. I have only ever ridden 2 Harley's. Both about 2006-2008 sportster of different capacities not also both fettled for female ownership.
Even those went better, turned tidier and smoother, rattled less snd had better braking.
That said neither of those cost $1500 from a dealer.
