Really nice find that - Honda's best twin!
The Ken Fox Hellriders use them on their wall of death (3 at the same time )

I've got a front end from one for my CD175 but use a CB160 hub - yet another 'to do' currently living in my loft.
I think you can get hydraulic conversion kits to improve the front disk brake (if you have a cable operated version that is)

Re: The Daily Chat
While this example is not very practical, nor does it suit my taste, it does show how trim
a CB200 can get for those serious about reducing clutter and weight.
Edit: I would still jump astride this cafe' bike and give'r whut's for as long as my butt would take it....

Nice. I had an '82 CB900F several years ago. Fast bike. Heavy.
http://www.cb1100f.net was actually the inspiration for this board, though I ditched php Nuke and went to phpBB the first time we got hacked.

Re: The Daily Chat
I'm working on a cb400 super sport at the shop right now. Can't wait to take it out for a spin after all said and done. They're nice 4 cyl bikes.
Mike you have a nice collection!

I had a "barn-find" CB400F few years back...sold it to one of the members of the "Black Keys" band.
I had the little brother once.(CB350F) Just a year ago.
My "collection" is constantly changing. I think of myself as a "bike-banker" rather than a collector...
The current line-up is always in my signature. I sold this one to a local who turned it into this,...and sold it to someone in Iowa.

Re: The Daily Chat
Nice! I love the way the 400 revs. I did fork seals, front pads, new brake adjuster, both tires, fixed a sticky rear brake, chain, flushed front brake, oil change, new fuse block, flasher, spark plug covers/boots, recommended a ton of other work, and killed a huge black widow spider. They apparently don't like starting fluid. Go figure.
It doesn't have a brake light or blinkers currently and hopefully it will be figured out quickly. Also the starter is getting very weak but it's a 2 kick bike. Any experience with the brake switches and blinkers misbehaving? It has head light, tail light/running light, horn, and starter.

Here's a 1983 Yamaha RX50MK that runs like a YSR and looks kewl.
That's me leaving the starting line in Suches, Ga. at the TrueGrits 2015

Taking the plunge into the "dark" side.
Picking this one up in Knoxville.
Something in the garage will be sold to make room for this VTR250.

Only registered two bikes this year, Handy Helix and Swoopy.bonesv wrote: I bet the tag/title office loves you.
I DID have to register a third bike, Ruby, for the 24 Scrapper endurance, but
all of that was split between 6 guys. Then, sold Ruby, and put plate on Rosarita (don't tell)
Trooper and Pauly need no plate, Boss is in mothballs along with CB200 and MB5.
