Bump. Throw me some offers. I need to make some room in the old garage. I have most of an sr500 I need to dump cheap as well.

82 CM250 engine for sale. Ran well and strong when I pulled it out a month ago. It will come as pictured with intake and carb. The intake has been repaired, but seems to be doing the job. Great upgrade for a 185 Twinstar, or replacement engine for a Rebel. $400 plus shipping from Arkansas...

I'm about 25 miles east of Jacksonville. I have heard of Bryant, but am not sure where it is.

Sold.

I just sold the bike.... So there is officially no scene in AR..lol. I am in the process of collecting bits for another one though.

Just an update and a little more info: The intake rocker box started puking oil, so I pulled the rocker boxes off, re torqued the head, threw new gaskets in there and adjusted the valves. All looks well under the covers. A couple more tasty bits that the bike has are; a Euro market "breadbox"...

The bike is a right foot shift, 750, 5 speed. It runs like a top. It has some upgrades to deal with modern traffic, could be put back to stock if that is your bag. A short list of mods includes, Koni shocks, Electronic ignition, Buell forks, 320mm Brembo front brake, Trumpnut clutch pushrod and...

Thanks man. Since this is Do the ton and you are a bunch of swell guys, I will take $3000 for the bike. I'll get some better pics and more details up this weekend.

I have decided to put the old girl up for sale. It is just time to move on to something new. The bike runs very well and I ride it to work almost every day. It is located close to Little Rock AR. Since it is 1:14am here, I will just link to the Craigslist post...

Nice work. I am picking up one of these and it is nice to see that the ugly can be washed off.

What are your plans for the beast? Is it staying all red?

Thanks 4 eyes. It does seem as though I am the only one around with this particular brand of sickness. Rider, thanks. I will check that place out, 60s/70s stuff is just what I am after.

I like old pick-em-ups as much as the next guy, but since moving to the Little Rock area, I haven't noticed much in the way of righteous OG motorcycle activity. I am specifically looking for a Brit bike shop, but I would like to find any place that is friendly toward greasy old motorcycles with...

Re: TR1 /XV Traditional Cafe Racer I like how this is shaping up. I am now also convinced that I need one of those spangly Grimecas for the front of my bike.

I junked the sidecovers and airbox on mine, I like seeing the guts/open space.
