Honda ownership was technically illegal back then wasn't it?

I can remember seeing Devonport empty at knocking off time and practically every bike out of there was a CB250N Super Dream on L Plates.  It was like wacky races as the Dockyard employed 10's of thousands at that time.  Lots of bigger Hondas and Suzukis in this area also around that time.     I remember a chap I knows brother bought a Sportster back around 1983 and it was the first Harley we had ever seen in the flesh. Don't know why really,  must have been a reason for the lack of manufacturer diversity but nobody told me.  🤣

I have heard him called several things but not a heterosexual, he actually traded the Sportster in for a black and gold Ducati 900 Darmah. He is a 6'3" chap with the build of a Spider Monkey and looked daft on the Sportster.    Plus I think the Tractor jibes and the Sportster not being very sporty  got on his tits.  🤣

As far as I remember it was just the model year, what I'd really like is the XL500R but they came a bit later

I had the 500r for a good few years and loved it other than the rear squatting under power. Never noticed that at all on the 250s but that was a lot less power.
