Yup rating is at the crank. I had mine dynoed at 5000 miles, got 93 at the rear wheel. A 93 model was at 94.5. Stan -- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: Multiple recipients of list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: Power > Date: Thursday, June 01, 2000 11:22 PM > > In a message dated 5/23

Darn, I hate being wrong. Particularly when I get caught in a brain fade. Yes, Phil, yer right. VTR250s stopped being sold in this country after the 1990 model year. Yup. Uh huh. I give. (And the Kelley Blue Books gives the final year a wholesale value of about $1,800, high for a 250.) -J (

Sorry Jay--the Nighthawk is the CB250, not VTR, which is the Honda designation for a V-twin. And the CB250 is not a particularly good little motorcycle in my opinion. All my comments on the VTR do NOT apply to the Nighthawk. Phil On Fri, 2 Jun 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Actually, it's

Thanks Darren! At the time you traded it I'm sure it was the right thing to do. It is nice to be able to "go back in time" and pick up a bike like this in MINT condition. I never owned this bike back in the late '80s, but can appreciate it's heritage. I plan on changing nothing and just preserving

These are neat little bikes, Allan. Last I priced one here, it could be had for a fair amount less than $1600 though. The bike has a fair amount of low-end pull for a 250, and is fun. I assume this is for a newbie rider or for a "campus-commuter" sort of use. As for the 1998 year--huh? I was
