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!

    • Bah! I can't see the point in custom number plates at all. I went to the rego office, fished through a box of "premium" plates (the ones that had the "not as tall" option for the front plate) and picked the one that had a 32 in it. That's the limit of the effort and cost I will put into number plates. The only plate that I'd consider paying for would be 2332, but that's not possible here because it already exists from probably 90 years ago, and it would cost a fortune to obtain it, if it were available.
    • After chasing my tail with LS results..... and cheaper than a turbo swap... How confident are you that the dyno is accurate relative to other results? How fast is the car - What MPH does it actually run? Is this similar to what people running this power would expect?
    • Hi mate I am having an identical issue with my 98 R34 GTT. The engie suddenly cuts out under load at about 3-4k, black smoke out exhaust. Almost feels like traction control kicking in. No CEL but still going to check codes later today. Car was sitting in the shed for about 5 months before hand and only idled a few times, took her out with about 1/4 tank, filled up and thats when the issues started happening.  Threw on a spare set of coils/harness and checked plugs which was no help. Recently had fuel pump/filter changed so surely thats not the issue unless condensation in fuel, I just havent had the time to drain it It's running a hi flow turbo, bosch 1000cc injectors, walbro 450L, Z32, Nistune etc... All about 2000km old.
    • I always wonder where the obsession with legal/illegal spacing on number plates in the UK comes from. Because it comes up in comments in every UK-based video I see on youtube. From my point of view all of your plates look a bit odd. Just because there are no markings whatsoever. In Australia we have the state that has to be on it. In Europe you get stamps and state logos. Yours look a bit like a throwaway draft that people then stuck with. And attached with blu tack so that it falls off at the slightest disturbance. Not trying to hate, but it's interesting how things are done in different countries. Do you have to follow a lettering convention when choosing a custom plate?
    • Hybrid sounds like a supercharger... It's half a turbo, with a belt to drive it! Oh wait, they're just called super chargers...
