After the "debacle" with my the CB200 .... I had to find another little ongoing project to sit in the back gound....

So..... been a few weeks since I got a new project .... just picked this little baby H**** up...... good ol' eBay








Last on the road in 2003 - been stored in a garage ever since. Runs - sounds real sweet, no smoke, no knocks, no rattles.......

Just needs new fork seals, thorough service (oil, filter, plug, etc) and new chain & sprox. The tyres have loads of tread - but as it's been sat for nigh-on 10 yrs - best get a new set

Its a 1989 model (last of them in UK) so it came with nice spoked wheels with alloy rims..... they'll polish up good!

First change will be the seat ... have to get a neat little clubman race single unit or summat similar. Then may hack a bit off the pipe Cheap work hack & great backlane scratcher.... just need somewhere to keep it


and NO, Mrs P does not know anything about it (yet) as its stashed at work

I had an xbr piggy.Blummin brill little bike.I loved it

Yes,

I agree.

When I was doing the National Hill Climbs on my super moto'd CR500, my mate used to race one of these XBRs. It may have been a reflection of my lack of talent of course, but I usually beat him by not more than a couple of seconds at most of the courses. And he rode it on the road for a work horse too. Excellent bikes.

That TT sure looks sweet Kev

Now this is rather tasty

I've one of these........crackin little bike for messin about on...

I've got another one in the garage with yoshi pipe ohlins piggyback shocks,oil cooler,steering damper.............I'll dig out a piccy

The SRX is much prettier than my XBR - but I've already started "attacking" it

GB500 is prettier than xbr
