    Hi All,

    Just a quick hello from Ireland. Joined the forum as I have just acquired a 1983 CBX250RSE.

    Will attempt to attach a pic of her arrival.

    It seems like a pretty rare machine so any advice, tips or links to spares etc most welcome.

    Thanks Murdo,

    The picture is not great as it is pretty dark, cold and wet here at the moment but hope to post a better one once I spend some time sorting her out and getting her running nice.

    Thanks Jo,
    Yes, David Silver has some parts for this model but not much to be honest.
    My plan is to service it and have some fun with it next summer and then decide if I will restore it or not. The engine sounds really good but the rest of the bike could do with some attention. we will see how the summer goes :)
