Not annoyed at the hijack...love talking about the old jap bikes, bit too yammy though....the x7 was a rival to the air cooled rd.but lighter and quicker ,by far the best 250 at the time, ive owned a few over the years, the white one in the first post is the one I have now, just started a winter restoration, bought this a few years ago from a guy in wiltshire, bought unseen via ebay :rolleyes.about 80 ish miles home,got me bro to ride it home for me while I followed in the cage.microns, k+n's, flat out down the M4 , the sight and sounds took me straight back to my teens 
......bro was having a whale of a time, untill about 4 miles from home it ground to a halt...........holed piston :'( :'( :'(.......dont see my bro much now but when he does stop by I make sure the piston is close by :lol
Bro had a cb 250 rs when I owned my first X7 in 1980......hence me buying the orange one recently, had three of these over the years and imho I think the best 250 four stroke of the bunch
