DesmoEddy Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Check out the minimal height difference twixt top of tank and the lip of the screen. Makes ANY road bike look like a tractor. Gorgeous. Eddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fontyyy Posted June 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 that is one nice bike. how come its got the different style bodywork? That's the right bodywork for the era; 1992 works Honda GP250 though there are dozens of variations on the paintwork if you look back at all the pics.

mgtkr1 Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 nice to see a gp250 actually replicated on works bikes. dont really see a lot of effort in to paintjobs on grand prix bikes for obvious reasons although most are very nicely turned out. looks like a cadalora bike even down to the v.low screen height. is it used as intended? i know parts are getting thin on the ground for older tz's and prob rs hondas. had a go yet fontyy??

I took it 100 yards up the road when he first got it, but not had a real go and won't be asking for one now. Define "used as intended", it'll be ridden on track at the Mallory 1000 bikes thing whenever that is but I doubt it will get raced. sennidott is spot on, 1992 Cadalora rep, this bike; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be going down to Mallory to have a look and I'm taking my leathers, helmet and best grovelling gear just in case... hey you never know!
