Restoring a Honda CB250RS that's been sat in a barn for 27 years. Got all the bits, just got to got to clean, polish, paint, mend and put them together. It's missing a front mudguard, chain & sprocket and exhaust but apart from that everything seems to be there (in a big box)

Sweet! My dad restored a 85 V65 that was in a barn for around 15 years. Now it should be in a museum. Good Luck!

Good luck with your project. I have a similar project, a Honda CB750 that I picked up from a friend, it's all torn down and in boxes. I also got a custom chopper frame for it, so that's what I want to do is make it a custom bike. My friend said the engine should run, but I haven't tried and he just got it from being froze.

I am excited to start on mine too. I think it will be a good project for me... And there are plenty of info out there on the net.

Good Luck with your project, would be interesting how it turns out. Please post some after pics.

Well as I need a front mudguard, front brake (entire unit) , battery, tank, gaskets and a few other things I've decided instead of buying everything separate I need a donor bike so once I feel rich enough to part with £100 or so I'll get me one and restart the project

Good luck with the project.

I rebuilt a CB125Twin some years ago after it went nuclear on me; hole in piston.

Cheers. I've had so much fun stripping, painting, rebuilding etc that once I've finished I'll probanly take on another piece of sh!t and start again. Certainly don't plan to sell the bike. It's so light it must go round corners like a racer. CXan't wait to have a go!

I found this...

Honda CB250RS

RS=Racing Single.

That should be the finished product. Currently looks more like this....

Hey...cool project

I did a similar project 2 years ago...my 1982 Honda V45 Magna..I stirpped it down to the bare frame, repainted the frame, all new hardware, refreshed the top end of the motor and re-assembled. I gave the bike to my cousin who is now riding it. I figure I did not need it now that I have the FZ.

Enjoy and keep at it
