"EGM" is a CB250NA in Custom Silver Metallic, an early one first registered in Feb 1980 on a "V" plate. She still has the original plate with "Tom Ward Motorcycles" of Windsor labelled up- the original supplying dealer. Just under 12k miles, it has loads of history- original Service Booklet, keys, tax disks from the 80's including an amusing "Tax in Post" version- who remembers doing this? Reasonably original, apart from pattern silencers, "H" section balancer and aftermarket rear sprocket. Last MOT'd in 2016, the MOT history shows only 546 miles since 2009. I bought it this year and have done absolutely nothing with it....       |

Wow! That view of the underside is impressive, especially the collector box. The replica box on my 250 was only fitted a couple of years ago & had a few extra coats of paint before it went on is quite rusty already

No tax diss for SME but loads of MoTs - the seller was going to bin them  |

And the pattern boxes that mimic the OEM shape are pretty thin section- I bought a batch of 50 and ended up having to re-spray them as the paint rubbed off on your hands as soon as you picked them up! |

Hmm, maybe I'll swap mine over with the 'H' section box on my 400NA - it lives a quite life where the 250 has become my 'every day' bike now my CB500 has gone. Or maybe not - I actually prefer the slim looks of the 'H' box, the replica looks a bit tubby  |
