Welcome aboard!
Love those early Ninjas. I was in my teens during mid 80s, and I just miss the old 250s, like the Honda (NS 250 ?), and the Yamaha SRX 250. With those beautifully horrible pastel California "splash/airbrush" graphics. But those were smoking hot bikes for a learner my age back then!
Love to see the progress you get to do for it.
