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.

The little CB's are great bikes. I had a '73 (I think) and it was damn near bulletproof. :banana

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 .
