It's a CH250, bigger brother to the CH125 and forerunner of the Helix. This one is most likely a US import as it's badged Elite, rather than Spacy as the UK models were. Black is not a colour they were sold in here either. That's about as much as I know thus far as I, erm, bought it on the strength of that tiddly little picture :oops: Here's a better one though...

It's a non-runner apparently, but they share a lot of parts with the Helix so hopefully it shouldn't be too expensive to get it back on the road. Famous last words :lol:

Yeah, it's going to take me about 12 hours all in :shock: Best stock up on the Scotch eggs and energy drinks methinks :D I'll probably feel the same as you afterwards but It'll be worth it though.

244cc 4-stroke single, the engine's very similar to the one in the Helix.
