Hi all,
Thanks for having me - I found the forum from a Youtube video showing Derbyshire rideouts for your forum.
I don't have a Superdream - I have a '91 CB250 Nighthawk as my commuter.
It's a bit of a dog - high miles and was pulled from the grave pretty unwillingly when I put it back on the road early this year after several years in a garden and then in crates in bits.
Always wanted a Superdream but have never owned one, instead having a CB250RS of the same era and now the Nighthawk.
Looking forward to having a good read.

Hi there, I've never had a Nighthawk, but my wife has had a Rebel 250 using the same engine, and CB125TD and another Rebel using a smaller 125 version of the engine. All gone now, but she does still have a couple of 250RSs.

Thanks for the replies, all. The weekend is looking like a teardown of the charging system before the lights become more critical over winter. Looks, at first assessment, like my stator output is too low.

So you haven’t persuaded her to sell the kicker then now she has an electric start Nope, once she'd ordered the electric start she mastered the art of kicking the kicker! We used to see a 250 Nighthawk around here regularly, but it disappeared a few years ago & we haven't seen another over here. |
