Apart from your Fazer, what else do you have in your garage???
I have a 2006 Honda CBR600F...

And I've got a 1980 Honda CB250N which I have spent FAR too long refurbishing. Bought it as a tatty wreck and now it
looks pretty much like the one I bought brand new in August 1980. Note the period Kangol helmet

The refurb-blog is here...

I have a nice BMW R80 Mono of 1986 vintage, it's an ex-police model returned to civvy spec and has done 105,000. It too is getting a refurb, I just bought an 'S' type fairing to fit instead of the RT barn door thing it's supposed to have. I'll post pics when she's done.

MadDog, nice Superdream there. I have had a couple that never looked that good. The 400N was better but I never had one of them.

BTW, the over trousers do not match the era that the bike was from.

Come on now Mad Dog to even think about renovating a CB250N superdream has to be mad in itself ! l owned one of those from new and found them to be pretty crap in comparison to other 250 s around at that time. My Z250 scorpion was better in every dept as was my mates CB250RS or the GSX250

The only bike that was perhaps as bad was the Yamaha XS250 ! reliable and dull was the best way to describe a superdream

Up until a few months ago my Fazer was sharing garage space this.

But now it just shares with this money pit.

I have spent more money buying, modifying & restoring this FZ than the Fazer has cost me to date.

& it's still not finished.

Memories... light the corners of my mind,
Misty watercolour memories of the way we were
