Hi
Another Newbie to the forum here,

I Used to have a very nice CB250T in 1988/89 which I got from a scrap man, he had it on the back of a truck and I had a Harley 125AMF which I was sick of so we swapped and I had a CB250T Dream & the look of the bike grabbed me.

Took that bike everywhere and then got together with a young lady and moved in with her, then one day all went wrong after I had been away for a weekend and she stabbed me and I got on the trusty CB250T and rode off (never saw her again) But that made me homeless so I sold the bike to get a deposit for a place to live & have always regretted it.

Never saw another one for years then one day saw a blue one at sandbanks in Dorset and knew I had to get another one, well that was years ago and a couple of weeks ago I saw a CB400T on ebay and bought it (needs light restoration but thats easy)

Not quite sure on the plan yet.
The 1979 is not uk registered but is better condition with a low frame number for a USA CB400TI & I am really tempted to do it up but then there's Nova & uk registration etc to deal with, but that said it would be an easier project.
The 1978 is UK registered but needs a lot of work and is all original, has an interesting history & being uk registered would be easier, plus its the same year as the one I originally owned

so the question is which one to do ? either way I want to change the tank to a dream tank and change the colour to Helios red, so a big dilemma
suggestions welcome lol
