It runs well although i cant understand why honda made these super nightmares as its not much faster the the 125t ? This is what i have to put the engine into

I pumped the tires up on the old girl today and they actually hold air i wont be keeping them though, they have flat spots. i hope to have the engine and electrics switched by the end of tomorrow, also get the tank to the shot blasters and the rims to a friend to be polished, will post some pictures tomorrow.

Seems like this is gonna involve a lot more work than expected    front wheel needs to be moved forward as it hits the exhaust headers also i need to cut the part of the frame that mounts the front of the engine away! i dont really want to start cutting the frame up as she is a classic, i have been offered an old MZ 200 twin 2 stroke but i think im gonna have the same problems as the 250 engine when it comes to putting it in
