Honda Other description

Completely restored Honda NX250. I bought this bike last fall as a project to restore over the winter as it is the only NX250 I have ever seen. The owner had just gotten it out of the shop and needed to sell it for tuition money. It ran perfectly, but needed some TLC.
 
So - new tires, new O-ring chain and sprockets. New fork seals, replaced the original rubber gaiters with rock deflectors. Still have the gaiters. New windshield. New hand grips and hand shields. New mirrors. New rear fender and fender extension/tag holder. Exhaust header repainted. Instrument bulbs replaced. All cables, wires, rubber and plastic cleaned and refurbished to appear as new.

Needed a way to carry my rain suit, so fabricated a luggage rack and mini-panniers to hold the Frog Togs. (Frog Togs not included) It also has a Tom Tom One gps hard wired into the electrical system.
Finally, the bike was completely repainted in a candy blue metallic, as I was not real crazy about the original darker blue color, which was in poor condition anyway. A new Honda wing sticker on the side completes the cosmetics.

Find and read the various reviews online, this is a 1st class light touring motorcycle, way ahead of its time. It has more power than most street 250's, and 6th gear is a true overdrive, at 60 mph it is only turning 5700 rpm, so it is very quiet and vibration free. I replaced the original semi-enduro tires with something suited more to the street, and it handles very well, yet still does fine on gravel roads. I have had some very good rides so far this year on various back roads, the project was a success. Empty weight only 260 pounds. 

The bike has 4 minor flaws; a small dent in the muffler cover - pictured. Several small holes in the rear of the seat cover. My neighbor is an upholsterer and will make me a new cover for $25, buyers decision, let me know. There is some light corrosion on the engine covers, causing the the bronze color engine paint to flake off in a few spots. Decided not to worry about it. The original plastic skid plate was not reattached as it has numerous cracks and splits, but it will go with the bike. Tool kit and owners manual included, along with the shop manual on CD.

Top Five Motorcycle-Themed Harlem Shake Videos

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

Are you tired of the Harlem Shake yet? The Internet meme has been around for a couple of weeks now with what seems like everyone and their third cousin producing their own take on the theme. For those lucky few who have no idea what the Harlem Shake is, it’s a new fad based around a track by the same name produced by Brooklyn DJ Baauer.

EICMA 2011 Preview: 2012 Honda Crosstourer Headed for Production

Thu, 20 Oct 2011

Honda announced it will mass produce the Crosstourer adventure tourer unveiled first in concept form at the 2010 EICMA show in Milan, Italy. The 2012 Honda Crosstourer will use a V4 engine similar to the one used in the VFR1200F and will also be available with Honda’s dual clutch transmission. Long-travel suspension adds to the adventure touring theme, but the Crosstourer is still more suited to paved roads than dirt.

2014 WSBK – Laguna Seca Results

Mon, 14 Jul 2014

Marco Melandri rebounded from last week’s disappointing Portimao round to win Race One at Laguna Seca while Tom Sykes extended his championship lead with a win in a red-flagged Race Two. Melandri got taken out of the second Portimao race after his Aprilia teammate Sylvain Guintoli slid into his RSV4. Melandri looked eager to make up for that DNF, leading every lap of Race One on his way to his third win of the season.
