Does anyone ride a CB200?

Post by rootzrick »

Considered classics nowadays... the humble CB200 was the ride of choice 30 years ago... where are they now?

Never had a CB200 but currently riding a Gilera Nexus 500, fast and comfortable but not so great in the Scottish winter which is now upon us!

Used to ride a Vespa LX till some sleepy car driver totally crashed it and nearly killed me. But Jah sent me his angels...
Will be back with a GTS 250 in spring.

I've had a few close shaves myself I-Lion, had a Piaggio Typhoon written off by a car driver not seeing me at all hence I've now got a big red bike not a small silver one... Still like the Vespas though, had a loan of a 300 for a while which was good to ride, better than those 3-wheeler efforts, which feel a bit strange to me.

yes mi bredrins
i ride a Honda CB200. I bought it in 1989 cheap. I went to a seocnd hand motorcycle dealer, saw the CB200 plates on the side and knew there and then i had to buy it.

singing 'one dread, two dread, dally pan a CB200' while cruisng throuhg town and country.

i don't ride it often these days( engine is kind of small, so it tops 110-120kmh max) but still it's a fine piece of engineering and always brings me joy..

"with the Lion of Judah on the tank " HAHAHA

My first bike was Honda CB 250 RS 1980
RS = road sports. It was a single cylinder, twin exhaust sports model with spoked wheels at a time when Mag wheel, twin cylinder models were dominate.
Nice bike but being single cylinder you had to "ride it",
not like a twin which feels like an "automatic car" in comparison to a single.

I like the look of the CB200 a lot, I thought about buying one but everyone tells me a 200 is way too small for me.
