1988 Honda NX250

Completely restored Honda NX250. I bought this bike last fall as a project to restore over the winter as it is the only NX250 I have ever seen. The owner had just gotten it out of the shop and it ran perfectly, ut he needed to sell it for tuition money.It has new tires, ew O-ring chain and sprockets. New fork seals, eplaced the original rubber gaiters with rock deflectors. Still have the gaiters, hey will go with it. New windshield. New hand grips and hand shields. New mirrors. New rear fender and fender extension/tag holder. Exhaust header repainted. Instrument bulbs replaced. All cables, ires, ubber and plastic cleaned and treated to appear as new.
Needed a way to carry my rain suit, o fabricated a luggage rack and mini-panniers to hold the Frog Togs. (Frog Togs not included) It also has a Tom Tom One gps hard wired into the electrical system.
Finally, he bike was completely repainted in a candy blue metallic, s I was did not like the original darker blue color, hich was in poor condition anyway. A new Honda wing emblem on the side completes the cosmetics.
To learn more about the NX250, ead the various reviews online. (Google NX250, ots of articles) This is a 1st class light touring motorcycle, ay ahead of its time.It has more power than most street 250's, nd 6th gear is a true overdrive, t 60 mph it is only turning 5700 rpm, o it is very quiet and vibration free. I replaced the original semi-enduro tires with something suited more to the street, nd it handles very well, et still does fine on gravel roads. I have had some very good rides on it so far this year, he project was a success. Unladen seat height 32", ut settles to a flat footed height when you sit on it. Empty weight only 260 pounds.
The bike has 4 minor flaws; a small dent in the muffler cover - pictured. Several small holes in the rear of the seat cover. My neighbor is an upholsterer and will make me a new cover for $25, uyers decision, et me know. There is some light corrosion on the engine covers, ausing the the bronze color engine paint to flake off in a few spots. Decided not to worry about it. The original plastic skid plate was not reattached as it has numerous cracks and splits, ut it will go with the bike. Tool kit and owners manual included, long with the shop manual on CD.
