i like how the tanks done ,&  if they'd done the rims black (instead of dog dick red)it woulda looked so much better,  :P
ps still not a resto but
work,the curse of the racing class!!
if a hammer dosn't fix it,you have a electrical problem!!

Ive always liked the silver myself. Whilst it's a well done bike ( colour scheme aside) It has no unumtainium on it to justify the asking price. I would at the very least want a mugen kit for that price.

Ok, I'll say what I'm sure an awful lot of people are thinking. Regardless of the quality of work & money gone into that bike, it is absolutely pig ugly & a perfect example of how to de-value a classic dirt bike. Custom paint & style is great while you own it but totally destroys it's value & severely limits the number of potential buyers. IMO that bike needs a full resto. Stevie Wonder wouldn't even buy that bike.

Classic  ;D A perfect example of "jumping the shark" a proper race ready/prepared CR would have sold in a heartbeat for $4-5000

"New kill switch"  ;D

Yes, that's a classic alright and all true too. Especially the bit about Stevie.

The kill switch is truly worth a mention. New NOS originals are pure high grade Unabtainium and sell big $ if they ever come up for sale. Although, if he had payed for one? NOS OEM, he surely would have mentioned that it was, after picking himself up off the floor.

A 100% period correct kill switch is a minor item on a showroom resto/garage queen on a race bike a kill switch is nothing more than something you press or flick to stop the engine

So I am guessing the buyers that have payed way upwards of US$200 for the OEM NOS CR250M kill switch for a concourse resto, aren't sharing your sentiment.
And thanks for the tip of what a kill switch does.
