Picked up a little vintage honda

Hi guys/gals,

picked up a vintage honda the other day. Really nice condition with hardly any miles. Guy sold it at a fair price. He said it didn't run real good. I started it there, and then just shut it down. He said he got it from a Shriner that used it in parades. Had a fairing on with crash bar, horns and saddlebuckets. Tore all that off. Looks great. Started it up and noticed gas leaking from one of the mufflers...very very weak when trying to let out clutch. Right then I knew it was the plug. Changed it out and runs like an absolute dream. Its a 1975 CB200T...fun little thing to ride on. Not a speedster of course, but will cruise at 55 easily. Fun stuff... :)

Nice ,and looks to be in great shape!

Yes, it is beautiful. Near perfect. 2060 miles... no tears or dents..all just reflection everywhere. Extremely pleased with it. Starts on first kick, or with just a touch of the button....runs absolutely wonderful. I like the color too!

Very cool vintage Honda you have there!! I bet it is a lot of fun!! These bikes are really starting to get popular with the collectors and showing up at the local bike nights now! My neighbor has a 72, I believe it is a CB750 4 pipe! These are just too cool!! Thanks for the share!! [I]Bill[/I]

Thanks Bill! I like this bike a lot. It has decent power for its size displacement. I had a 73 450 super sport and this runs a little slower, but not a ton. Feels like maybe 100cc less, not 250. Anyway, I sold that one about 6 months ago... it was near perfect as well. Sold it to a fellow in Canada. The 750 hondas are really getting popular... and the early sandcast frame models are really high...in the 10K+ area for nice ones. I love the late 60s to mid 70s models of hondas, really great runners. Hondas were just made great. Funny how sometimes one can dig one up out of a corner of a barn, where its been sitting for 35 years or so...clean up carb...change oil...maybe plug...clean tank...and they start on the first kick and run like a dream.

Great little bike. I had a 76 in the early 80's. Heck, yours is nicer than mine was even back then.

I love the 60's and 70's Honda's.

Nice Bikes Perry! Your 76' was the orange. Mines the other 76, parakeet yellow. Mine has a build date of 75, but I guess 76' model year.

Love your dream, how does that one run?
Of course, the 750 4...nice...love those bikes. :)
Thanks for posting them!

The Dream runs great. It's my regular ride. Has about 17,000 miles on it now.

I like the color on yours better. I almost had another CB200 bought a few months ago but it fell through.

Beautiful little bike. Money in the bank, too!

That thing looks like it just rolled out of the show room. Great score, congrats.
