Honda CL description

For sale is my rare 1974 Honda CL200. Honda only made the CL200 for one year! This is in great condition for it's age. Some rust on exhaust and chrome and two dents in tank, see pictures. All lights and electrics work. This bike has no title. In CT it's not needed if it's older than 20 years old.

The story with this bike: My friend bought it from someone in CT and rode it for one season. He lost interest, sold it to me and it's been stored in my shed for a few years. I decided to take it out, do a tune up (among other things) and sell it because I need the space. 

Over the past couple weeks this is what's been done to it:
Oil change
Welded up and painted muffler because it had holes
New tires and tubes (One season old)
New spark plugs and plug caps
New ignition points
New AGM battery
New tachometer drive oil seal
New tachometer cover gasket
New tachometer cable
New fork boots
New fork seals
Fresh fork oil
New air filters
New stator cover gasket
Completely disassembled and cleaned carburetors with new OEM pilot and main jets
Replaced old glass fuse with new blade style

This bike runs great and has very low miles...less than 12k for being 42 years old! Doesn't leak or burn oil. Even the seat is in great shape. Only minor thing is the muffler is a little rattly, sometimes noticeable while it's idling. Most of the chrome looks great but there's some spots where it's pitted and rusty. Paint still looks very good. Tank inside is clean. I de-rusted it and fogged the inside with oil before storage. Usually starts in one kick. Electric start also works flawlessly but kick starting it is funner :)

Looks amazing and it's great on gas. This bike could be for anyone. A hipster looking for a great running rare old Honda. A woman looking for something small and easy to handle while still being stylish and retro. Someone who's new to bikes and wants a great reliable starter bike. Or just someone who wants to look rad while cruising by the beach.

If you want to test ride it, you need a motorcycle license and I have to have the cash in my hand.
I could ride it up and down the street for you and go through the gears if you want. Contact me with any questions. I respond quickly!

Back in the day, the All Japan 500cc Championship at Tsukuba

Fri, 24 Jun 2011

This ‘you tube’ gem sent to me recently brought back some funny memories from the scary but incredibly exciting days of 500cc two stroke racing. This particular race was the final round of the All Japan 500cc Championship at Tsukuba Circuit where I enjoyed a head to head battle with national hero Tadahiko Taira. Yamaha’s favourite son at the time, ‘tie wrap’ as we liked to call him, was taller and better looking than most Japanese riders (maybe a war baby?) and went on to win nearly everything in Japan during his career.

Lorenzo Wants to Race at Assen Despite Breaking Collarbone in Three Places

Fri, 28 Jun 2013

Jorge Lorenzo underwent two hours of surgery earlier this morning in Barcelona, Spain, to insert eight screws and a titanium plate to secure his fractured collarbone. By the afternoon, the Yamaha rider was back in the Netherlands to prove he is healthy enough to race in tomorrow’s TT Assen. The reigning MotoGP champion broke his collarbone in three places after high-siding in a wet practice session Thursday.

Classic corner: Phillip Island turn 12

Tue, 03 Jul 2012

Ask any racer what corners they would choose for their perfect track and the long swooping left that makes up the final corner of Phillip Island would appear on quite a few designs. Here the Honda World Superbike riders Jonathan Rea and Hiroshi Aoyama, along with technician Chris Pike and Pirelli's Giorgio Barbier detail the classic corner from the Australian track.
