I know a guy who had one at the time. Trail bikes were good for getting around Wellington.
Honda named that model the Motorsport. I guess they are becoming rare now, but I'd rather have an Elsinore.

"channellling the Pleideans"
not that rare I dont think - and not the thick end of three grand in that condition needing a full rebuild.
When I was a kid on my TS125 the local "rich kid"s Dad bought him one. We were in awe of it. He'd never let any of us ride it. Because he could smoke us all with a twist of the wrist we were all jealous of it. I suspect I would be sorely disappointed now.
I thought elections were decided by angry posts on social media. - F5 Dave

It's Motosport not Motorsport, I had one in 1976, great bike reliable and nice to ride but, very heavy and underpowered compared to a TS250 or DT250.
I was only 15 then, I sold it and bought a TS250 Savage..still aged 15 .
I'd give him hmmm 300 for it tops, the seller is slightly delusional to give him some credit.

I missed that i was just poking you because you voted for Trump.
According to Drew all bucket racers are cunts, Actually i think it applied to all KBérs in general.
Bet it still makes farty noises.

A steal at $9900.0o
Amazing attention to detail,carefully applied dirt.
3-valve parallel twin. 6-speed manual gearbox
Its overhead camshaft 400cc air-cooled parallel-twin had been completely redesigned, with a chain drive that operated three valves per cylinder, two for inlet and one for exhaust. It has a 360° crank layout.
I'm not going to bother googling it but I thought all Hondas were 180 degree twins?
No chain guard for this baby.

The 6 speeds were the N model and they had chain driven counter balancers (2 i think)A steal at $9900.0o

I can't remember if they were 360 twins.
The CB250N version was a total slow heavy nail the 400 was far better. But anything would have been.
They eventually grew into a 450, a Harley look version which i can't remember what they were called we sold a few of them CMX450? Rebel?
Google looks like a 360 degree twin
The later bikes abandoned the 3 valve 250 engine used a overbored 125T engine 230cc CD250 and Cb250 nighthawk.
still gutless but far lighter.

Those and the associated 250 were Hondas first plain bearing twins - and an appreciable advance in performance and looks over the CB350/360.
He's made what was quite an attractive small twin into an absolute POS...
They may have been 360degree crank i can't be arsed looking it up. They did actually have a balance shaft too.
I note he's specified it's the "manual gearbox" version - and yes, they did do an automatic which is as gutless as you'd expect.
Re the motosport - if it's the first version with the offset carb it's collectible - if it's all there and in reasonable nick. But not at that price...
Edit - fuck you bastards with fast internet who beat me to the post.

As soon as I saw the motosport picture I knew who it was. Ive stayed there enough times. 2\8 ono, talk him down a reasonable chunk and the right person will probably buy it.
I'm sure he expects to be bargained down, he loves a haggle. Well there I go. Hard to say a bad word about the guy, you'll never meet another more down to earth chap who'd drain the gas out of his tank to get you home even if it meant walking.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Ah, it's ok for him to be a dreamer because he knows Dave.
Carry on folks.

Sounds like a good thread title "According to Drew..." then we could all make bold statements afterwards.
eg:
According to Drew, a wood chuck couldn't chuck wood as it didn't have viagra.
Yup it makes braaap noises, which I like but not as much as the ring ding noises. After seeing that poor sod's 2 stroke sieze in my first BOB, spit him off and puncture a few lungs I think I'll stick with my braaaps though.

According to Drew a city bus handles great and pulls great monos.
And would look sick with a skull and flames and snakes painted on the side.

The guy selling that overly expensive bucket is Stefan Turner, he was on kb but left after determining everyone was too mean. He has a facebook page called wellington riders with ~1000 members. I've met him personally a few times, seemed nice enough...

He's a fucken bell end.
I've been blocked from Wellington Riders...twice.

According to Drew there has never been a better bike made than the RF900.
Plus some fella's a bellend.
You start the thread i will subscribe.
