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!

Americans reported 46,667 motorcycle thefts in 2011, a 6% decrease from 49,791 stolen motorcycles in 2010, reports the National Insurance Crime Bureau.

Q3 2013 US Motorcycle Sales Results

Fri, 01 Nov 2013

Motorcycle and scooter sales in the U.S. in 2013 remain consistent with last year’s figures, according to data released by the Motorcycle Industry Council. Several manufacturers blamed poor weather for the poor start this year, and the rebounding sales in the third quarter helped to negate the slow sales from earlier in the year.
