Had a cb250 in the 70s it was so good I never thought to change it, what a marvellous bike (happy memories)

Bought mine from Skellerns in Worcester about 1975. Got me to work, to my family home (a 250 mile blast) to Durham and on camping trips around Europe. Such a lovely motorcycle to own. Easy to ride and very versatile. Used every day I had it.

I also had this 'bike, with a white top-box, in '75. I loved it more than any 'bike I've owned since, esp. its acceleration through the six gears, and the beautiful green & orange glow from the instruments with the lights on. Should never have sold it to buy my mum's best friend's Mini. Carefree '70s!

This was my first ever bike .... 45yrs ago .... same colour, I believe it was called 'Candy Apple Orange'? All my mates had the other 3 offerings, all 2 strokes, but being an apprentice mechanic I appreciated the longevity of a 4 stroke engine.

I loved the Rodger ram jet up-swept exhaust tail pipes set the way most of the modern bikes have there exhaust's

I got mine, 1976 P, from Dennis McHarris on Harlow. It was 2 years old and the only real problem I had was the splines on the selector shaft which wore down to nothing.

I had a brand new one in 1975, I remember the registration was LKO848P same colour, purchased from a motorcycle dealer Chambers of Rainham Kent, £539, that’s £5666.44p in todays money! I was 17 years old and this was my first bike, looked lovely had a big bike feel, but I’m afraid reliability pretty bad, Cam tensioners on these models used to fail, sometimes causing catastrophic engine failure. Performance terrible. But still loved my bike.

Had this very same bike in '75. Gorgeous. Got me my first real girlfriend!!;))

I also had one (in that colour) and a 125 SL --- traded them in for a 250 Dream.

I had one, it was bloody dreadful, the overhead cam was the weak point
