I bought one new in Richmond NSW in 1988. I had it 15 years and gave it to my brother in law to learn to ride on and he never did the services or put oil in it and with 138K KMS on the clock he ceased the engine. He put it on the front lawn with a take me sign and it went that day. Pity the idiot didnt take the plate off it. I loved the little 250 but it was just too old to keep doing the KMs I did every month. Thanks for the video - it brought back some good memories.
I just bought a 1987 CBX250 to learn to ride on, my first bike! Suspension is questionable, she rides like a Cadillac.. or a spring horse lol. Replacing the fluid soon to see if it helps dampen the front end any. Do you notice that with yours?
@@hotpilotboy20 yeah I understand I'm just asking cause I got the same bike but it needs to be repaired, that bike was standing like 5-7 years in the garage, and now I want to make the A2 driver license so I can finally ride it, it was my dad's bike but he died realy early so it just has 10.000km
@Rafael Marques I had one for 7 years in the 90s. I topped it out a few times to an indicated 160-5km/h. Didn't have a GPS back then, so not sure how accurate it was. Such a fun bike to run up and down the gears to get that racing feeling with being super dangerous or risking big tickets. I loved that bike. Should've kept it...

i have one but it is missing its fuel tank and i dont know where to find one can you help me ???
Nice video, was just wondering what the plug like thing on the top of the tail fairing is?
+UltimateRoh4n Thanks, that's just a flat washer and bolt
hey man are there any other bkes with compatable parts for these? im guessing the newer twisters are completely differant?
+Kanal honestly I have no idea, to me the twisters seem to be a new generation of cbx 250, so I think they are different.....but I'm really not sure.
These shared many parts with the XL250 trail bikes. Parts are compatible for engine components.
Do you think this is a good café racer platform?
Top speed you ever reached?
I think around 120 - 130, I never thrashed it and I'm more of cruisy rider, I just ride because it's fun, not for speed.
