Nice Bike, good to see some early 80's 250's restored. not many of them around.

Nice job
Gear lever looks a bit low though.
I had one of these in late 82, nice bike but the 83's always seemed so much better, (i'm sure it wasn't the riders ;D)

Good stuff retro. I am a keen Honda owner and the 85 cr500 is a special bike for me.
Great work on the 82. The 125 in that year was my first Honda race bike.

Yep nice job and good usable bike. Everyone rushes out and grabs a 500 these days but unless you have Liesk on the end of your name you will probably ride a 250 faster.

I like the early 80s CR250 power,  my 250 RB has great midrange.
