Brad 7th November 2007, 03:57 Well, I love my Sporty and I'm not getting rid of her anytime soon, but I added a used
bike to the stable tonight.

Already posted a pic of this in Kev M's thread (http://xlforum.net/vbportal/forums/showthread.php?t=96004&page=8) about his new Guzzi, but I wanted to tell my
story here. This is a 1980 Honda CM200T Twinstar. Its an inline twin, 200cc. This is soooo
small and light it feels like a dirt bike. I'm thinking of turning this into a café project,
inspired by this bike that I saw on a trip to West Virginia.

I'll be chronicling the details at a different site that focuses more on used bikes. I'm also
going to create a site to show it off.

I don't know "bout that there black thing, but i really like that Blue beauty in the backround!
kdarejr 7th November 2007, 05:11 I just picked up a 71 750 K1 it runs but needs a lil tlc It should be ready to go by summer I dont want to chop it up but make a few changes so its comfy for me !
Desertfox 7th November 2007, 10:39 Gratz on the new scoot. These lightweights are a total blast to ride. Unfortunately they are getting very hard to find in Street versions. Hardly anyone makes them any more since the big money is in big bikes nowadays. I was trying to find something like that for my son to learn on, but the smallest thing I could find in a street bike was the 400cc Honda Rebel. I think your 200cc HOnda would make a totally kick ass little screamer:) Good luck .
bills bikes 7th November 2007, 13:39 neat little bike and a lot of fun to work on have a blast
LarryC 7th November 2007, 15:20 That 'black thing' is a Honda 350 twin.
