Wow - a 250 single, eh?  Whatever floats your boat...
I will keep my more modern 250 single that also doesn't use or leak oil, and yet it has faithfully brought me to work every day since the end of May.
I love my little CBR250R.

I hope you have as much fun with your new bike!

Great move, you'll have lots of fun!

If it wasn't for leaking Norton's I might have never got my first BMW (much used R50)back in the early 70's.

I remember riding with a guy years ago (in the 70s) that had an old 2 cyl Beezer and besides "marking" it's territory seems I remember it used to occasionally spit out one of the head-pipes if he got on it real hard.  Kinda neat to watch - at night!
