My baby Z250 project, been fun, money pit just as well I got a few good deals off Z Power and a few bargains on E Bay.

99% finished, just waiting for my tank badges, reflector for the tail and new mirrors, then next stop DVLA that will be fun.

She starts well now after sorting the carbs out, just needs fine tuning, could do with some balance gauges for the carbs :D

Nice bike. I really wanted a silver blue one of those. I seem to recall somebody made a colour matched bikini fairing to make them look like a mini Z1R. But then, Yamaha brought out the LC!
