you know, thats interesting. I had a 1984 honda magna with a shaft drive, I loved the idea of the shaft and everything, so when I sold it and was looking for a 250, I only wanted shaft driven, then I realized that its almost impossible to find a shaft driven 250, if not impossible, lol. I found a honda ascot 450 that was shaft driven, but 450 was still bigger than I really wanted. Really glad I held out for a 250, difference between shaft and chain is not big enough to hold off on the 250.
