First new bike I bought, loved the sound of the chirrpy engine and the then new pressed aluminium ‘comstar’ wheels. Used to have plastic tyes absoloutly crap! came off no end of times but that was mainly in the snow and ice. crash bars were the best things I ever bought for that bike. Swopped it in the end for my brothers £350 car stereo? Only thing that ever went wrong was the CDI ignition, but that was changed under warranty. Got a rust hole in my tank after 3 years standing in my garage, spose i should have drained the tank, but i used to start it once per month. When I see them now I think how small they are but there again I’m 6 stone heavier now! Was a better bike than the Yam XS250.
