I had a lot of fun with one of those:

That's an interesting Brat project you have there

But a 250 Nighthawk, and a 250 Rebel aren't exactly the same animal.

Said Goodbye to the little Rebel yesterday. Wife decided she'd rather ride pillion than solo.
Got $1300 for it, which was a couple of hundred more than I had into it

Nice. I try to get my wife to learn but she prefers Pillion as well.

I'm sad to see the project go, but I am also curious about the RD 250 you have on the table there.

The last bike show I attended had two Rebel based customs. One was very nice and the other was nice but needed some tidying. They sound like British twins when unmuffled.

It's actually a DS7... or rather, started out that way. The build thread is here... https://www.dotheton.com/index.php?threads/1972-yamaha-ds7.14897/
