Description
1977 Honda xl250
Perfect working order and ready to ride.
Good starter both hot and cold. The bike is complete ( except for indicators) and original as far as I know. I have upgraded the electrics to electronic ignition, 12v and led bulbs. Original equipment available if you wanted to change it back. It has new Continental tyres which are kind of half way from knobbly to road and are great on road but still look the part.
It's a good looking bike and gets compliments and interest but it is definitely not concours. There are bits of paint missing on tank and bits of surface rust on a few bits. ( See pictures) Since I bought it I upgraded the electrics, changed oil and plug and rode it. I bought it in 2018 from "we sell classic bikes. co. uk" they were selling on behalf of a guy from wales who imported it from USA earlier that year and was already uk registered by the time I bought it. Whilst I rode it a lot at the beginning other projects have taken over ( house renovation) and I haven't ridden much in last year. Also the money would be handy! When I first got the bike it was super spotless but ran like a dog. It was hard to start and wouldn't idle and had horrible flat spots. I changed it to electronic ignition and rebuild the carburetor. Since then it has never missed a beat. It could be a project to make immaculate or just enjoy riding it like I have. I also have an "Oxford" chain motorbike lock, jacket , helmet and gloves for sale. I can deliver locally free or further afield for a fee.
