250cc on L plates

[Robbie8666]

fairly certain mine was a 250N had both kick start & electronic start  ( I didn't realise what that button was for for 1st 6months of having it!)
was gifted it from bloke a t work (£100) as he was moving house and his misses told him he had to get rid of some of his bikes
then me & a mate who also had one, bought a job lot from someone that was a frame, bout 2 1/2 engines 3 wheels and 2 wiring looms and built another and used it as a spares testing bike in his workshop / shed.. 1st run after getting it working, with only down pipes and no seat down the road was great so we rode it to the local pub! lol

KH250 What it lacked in handling it more than made up for in sheer terror. Plastic tyres, weedy forks, brakes errr a Raleigh chopper had better brakes...but theres nothing quite like a KH for the sound particularly when wringing its neck..

Yep the KH sounds fantastic on song .

I had a 250na (kick start and elec frh539t if I recall) bought it a week after I passed my test on cb100 that seemed fast after my restricted x1 . Some people have reminiscing about the x7 my main memory is traveling from Scarborough to Hull on the back of one being chased by a 250lc and cbx550, if anyone knows the road in to north Grimstone hump back bridge followed by a right hand bend I was punching my mate in the sides to sounds of his laughter as we landed and hurled it round the bends, we were home first but I never went on the back again..

Missed the 250cc learner bikes due to age but had an RD250 with sidewinder on L plates bought from a mates brother.

had an NS400R in rothmans that i bought from stan stephens (thankfully he hadn't touched it)

Why thankfully?

because although his in house full race motors were good, the majority of his work was send in your barrels and heads and we'll make you the kiddie. just how you can tune an engine without knowing the precise piston/head/squish clearance is beyond me.

[Hedgetrimmer]

Did the job on mine. How come? I see what you're saying, but there's no doubt his tuning, just as you described, made a heck of a difference. I sold the bike to a mate who took it racing, and did ok on it too.

I see even Stan has an autobiography out now!.Should be a good read .Includes contributions from some top racers.
