Ah that may be a Honda.....250 Foresight.

First Auto collected yesterday.

Gotta wait till next week for the 750

I think that Richie means the DT200R in the background of the photo of the red 400A.

Lovely bikes mate, but I cannot abide Comstar wheels. You gotta come up and see me. I'm lonely too.

I’m not overly fond of them but scrapping a 400/4 for the wheels tends to get frowned upon...

I’m sure there used to be a company that made conversion kits to turn Comstars into spoked; but my memory isn’t the finest....

Just for you Jim, to capture the mood of the day....

Ok ok, I needed to do that just to get to the balancer chain tension adjuster.

Its a pretty little thing.

I think that they are still around and still doing it.

I shouldn't imagine it's a sustainable business model in its own right but if you have the tooling, materials and expertise and they are still around in small numbers ...

Following on from t'post above, I have quite a fondness (retro empathy) for Comstars.

This is the actual company offering the conversions:
