Ta da! here is my new project bike! a 1986 Honda\u00a0 CBX 250 RXD. I’m going to make a cafe racer!<\/p>\n

I got this because:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It’s a Honda and was cheap.<\/li>\n
  2. It’s got spoked alloy DID 18″ wheels<\/li>\n
  3. It’s got a disc front brake (I know drum brakes are retro cool, but I don’t want to die just yet!)<\/li>\n
  4. It’s allegedly 30HP stock and 130Kg, so when I strip many things off it should have good power to weight.<\/li>\n
  5. I am told it will do over 100MPH stock (when it was new anyway).<\/li>\n
  6. Thomas will want to ride on the road in 18 months time and it will make an uber cool learners bike for him when I finish it.<\/li>\n
  7. I was bored and had nothing else to work on in the garage now that we all have new bikes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Once I know for sure that it runs and the engine isn’t completely knackered I will begin the process of buying many parts on the internet.<\/p>\n

    Watch this space for updates and more photos.<\/p>\n
