Afternoon
This is an earlier SD, either a N or an NA model
It is a 250 as it only has a single front brake caliper
The Fairing on the front would have been more than likely a UK made licenced extra
The key difference between the N model and the NA is the N had a kick start
Others on the forum may be able to tell more from the photos

Cheers! thought it was a 250, im puzzled as the fairing on the front looks like a completely different colour, my old man must have had it added at some stage. I'm trying to find some other photos, hopefully of the number plate to see if i can track it at all. |

Yes, I think it is a CB250N, 1978/1979 manufacture year, note the diagonal pattern on the seat. The 1979/1980 manufacture of the CB250NA, was when the seat cover changed to a block pattern.
As BP mentioned, if your can find a picture from the other side, you should see the kick-start arm, at the aft of the engine on the right side.
