Well, this is my ongoing money pit. It's a 06 model Honda CR 250, that I've road registered with the intention of building an epic road going SM. I'm looking to go thru this bike, restoring, replacing and upgrading without making too many alterations not to detract from the natural look of the CR. I'm not scrimping on the build, I've already fully rebuilt the engine and I'd like to think of this bike being 'nut & bolt' restoration as such but with a shed load of aftermarket parts too. ^ Frame mirror polished, replace OEM fittings and aftermarket wide foot-pegs.

I've been building the bike over the last year, I had covered around 700mi on the road (day MOT) before I started the work. I'm looking to get it fully built this year.
And the Hinson clutch upgrade, replacing the stock pressure plate. I'm not certain of the gains here but it's a few grams lighter over stock and much more true, less cast defects. Hinson claim less drag, we will have to see. I've also upgraded to steel clutch and replaced the springs.
I had a couple of Y2K CR250's back in the day, one was road registered I knew it was time for new rings when it wouldn't wheelie off the throttle in top ;-)
