Honda CB250N. I bought this last summer, because i have always kind of liked these small Honda twins from the eighties. This particular bike was museum registered and pretty cheap considering how cheap the insurance gets when bike has a museum status. Bike was originally brought to Finland from Sweden, which is logical because these bikes were never sold in Finland. We have something like 3-4 of these bikes here in Finland. Our Honda importer Otto Brandt chose CB250RS instead of this model part of their catalog back in the eighties.

I travelled to see the bike by train, and it was bit rough. Rusty spots here and there, etc despite it's museum registration. It was owned by the old man living on the Finnish archipelargo, and it was pretty neglected aesthetically. I did quite a bit of work to make it look like in the picture. Lots of elbow grease. I liked the bike when i rode it as it was though. A nice little buzzer.

Average fuel consumption was 5 litres per 100km. Around one liter less than CBR1000F example.
It was great bike to ride around the town. Very agile. There's definitely something i love on these little twins. I could buy one again if i would see a really nice running one. Economically there's not a lot of idea to ride these because they guzzle almost as much gas as the bigger ones do. Possibly partly because most of the time you ride them flat out. You can tour with them too, if you are not in a hurry. I did one 700km small tour with this bike, and it was nice. I sold the bike after two months of riding.
