what's with Honda CBR 250R's from 1988-89 costing as much as 2008 Ninjas...?

Cause they are imports, and just like Jap cars they hold their value. Most of the expensive ones will just be low km examples that have been put in storage for years just like the cars, and complianced/plated as more recent models. That said, all old bikes hold their value as long as mileage is retained low - 250cc especially as learner bikes always do. The CBR250RR are worth the most because they were pretty tricked out, had two swingarms and twin...rotors...on the front. The engines are the highest revving (don't quote me) of any factory motorbike, up around 20,000rpm or something ridiculous like that and way over-engineered. Many claim them to be the fastest 4 stroke 250, with top speeds around 180-190, but acceleration itself won't be much better than other late model Japs. Get a Ninja.

Plus you can put an Akrapovic on them :worship:

:dry:

depends.... is it prononced jeppe or yeppe? ;)

'Jeppe' with the 'J' usual... Most people get that... Its the 'e' on the end that they forget. Still I'm used to it so not so much irking :)

Anyway enough of that, no rain today, yay! (touch wood) Won a free ride day, yay! No tinted visor though, boooooo! New helmet though, yay!

    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
