CBR250

I shall try again, this time I will not post untill I have finished.
As Ben guessed it's a CBR250, only one of those would need a rev counter that goes that high.
The forks look like CB72/77 with a 750 Suzuki front brake.
The frame looks like modded CB72/77 with the rear wheel turned round to take the chain to the other side.
Whos is it Mike?

I thought this competition was over? Or was that just the world cup?

When I first posted, I didn't notice that there was 2 pages of replies.
When I figured I had fcuked up, I tried to change the post but for some reason, it would'nt let me.

It belongs to an older fella out of New Hampshire who works in the bike industry has quite the bike collection. He has an RC-45 and first year (new model) MV Augusta 750 sitting in his living room. I think each of those has .3 miles. He is always finding weird Japanese stuff and importing it. Christ he built himself a museum for all his bikes and about 2,500 sq ft of antique Japanese parts starting from the late fifties at his house. He's the guy that gave me that lead regarding your carb. He has a couple of turbo CB750's just sitting there too(along with 50 or 60 other bikes).

I knew instantly that was a cbr125 motor by that tell-tale crankcase. . . I don't know the frame but, hell, K something? 550?

Edit: Whoops, didn't see the 3 pages of replies. . . D'oh

Where did the black 4-into-4 exhaust come from on that CBR250 machine?  THAT is the style of exhaust I want for my Cafe Racer.

Can anyone advise?
