Hey Chris, welcome to CBRF!! Nothing wrong with starting out on a 250 if this is your first bike. I LOVED my Ninja 250 and still miss the handling and fuel milage and I can't fathom why Honda never released CBR250s here in the states.

Thanks for all of the pics of your project. Looks like it's coming together nicely. I can't wait to see the finished product when you are done, so don't forget to post them back in here. Good luck and enjoy the forums.

thanks for the welcome fellas, appreciate it

yeah ive gone pretty hard on the little 250, i figure there arent many real tidy ones ripping around over here so why not!

on the way are the new fairings, screaming demon shorty race exhaust, new hoops and un restricted CDI ignition.

then...... after shes done it'll be a RVF400 track bike then wait for the next blade to be released and ill be on it like a fat kid on a cupcake!

appreciate the kind welcome guys, look forward to keeping you all posted

I looked through your album....very nice!
You're right, that's a good deal of work, but it all seems to be coming out great. Nice paint and polishing jobs...
