the VT250F project: episode 01 "turns over for the first time"

[1100HondaCB]

I had one of these and talking about carburetors, installing them on this model use to always frustrate me. Never knew anything so difficult. Difficult motorcycle to work on.

I had an '83 model, thrashed it around until I blew the big end bearings. after a TOTAL engine rebuild and waterflowed ported and polished heads, it was awesome, no 250 ever beat me, all my mates had 250's in college, that was in '97 so they all had new bikes.I had it clocked at 220kph!!. only 2-stroke 250's come close to it. but if you 'race' it, it WILL die quickly.

Probs though with cooling, reliable oil pressure, and bottom end strength.
