I thought my 250 was pretty good, but I do recall the 'ultimate' hybrid of a CB250RS with a 500 Ascot lump in it...Always thought that would be nice.digger06 wrote:i had both too, but found the 500 miles better in terms of ride ability, more torque etc,TimeBandit wrote:XBR based motor.....
Tried an XBR a few years back an wasnt right impressed with it... wasnt much better than my RS250 in terms of poke an 'get up n go'....
Its alot of money for rather dated tackle
the 250 was gutless, and a good 20mph slower
perhaps i had a good 500 and you got a good 250, lol
That new single is claiming nearly the same power as the old SR500 but with a revvier engine and a tad less weight and my SR was a more than adequate back lane thrasher
