Hi, down in Cornwall. I am considering buying a CB250n Superdream as a project and thought this forum might be a starting point?

Hi Darren, Welcome along. My advice depends on your ability. If you are an F1 mechanic, aero engineer etc.. grab a £200 wreck and rip it to bits. If not, buy one that runs and stops,that you can have a go on first. The more complete the better. Look out for tank bubbles in the bottom corners, rusty forks and chrome work. Original 2 into 2 exhaust is best with the collector box. £800 to £1000 should be close. Hope that helps. I expect others will chip in too. Good luck.

I have now bought a 1979 250 Superdream. All Original with 10k for a £1000. It is going to need some re-chroming, some paint touch ups and hours of cleaning/polishing. Re-chroming looks expensive but parts in new condition seem rare. Are there any tutorials/videos that anyone knows of? Many thanks for any advise. Darren
