Small engine class in High School is where I got shocked. Teacher made sure we all got shocked. 80's were a different time.
Pain is great teacher!
@@mikehoncho3099 the import shop where I worked a gag was to fully charge a capacitor and set it on a man's toolbox. When he grabbed it, it grounded, and the shop burst out laughing....good times.
Rights of passage
Or your dad saying, “hold this wire😅”
We had a spark plug tester machine in my high school and we had about 6 people hold hands and shock the crap out of all of us
I need a friend like Craig travel half way across the country to fix my bad ideas lol 😂
Probably have to pay that kind of "friend" also 😁
@@Pabloman333 if I had Shawn’s money that would be no problem lol
Someone that has commmented here..i am srry i raported your comment, it was an accident, i clicked the wrong button, i wanted to report the fake "bikes snd beards" scammer channel
If you’re not that kind of a friend, don’t expect others to be.
Craig is paid RUclips money like shawn
My very first bike was a 1974 Honda CB350. it was 6 years old when I got it and would turn 6,000 RPM on the highway with me and my girlfriend. Don't have the bike anymore, but I still got the girl!
If you didn't have the Honda would you have the girl? Who did you fall in love with first, the Japanese girl or the one you have now?
@@arkas6797 The one I have now. Sure I liked the Honda and it's true, you never forget your first one. I'd have gotten the girl and had to get a different bike (which I have several times over the years). She ALWAYS wins! Always.
@@russelljohnson4527 Live like the high mountains and have all the good things of God. Please convey greetings to your girl from an unknown and crazy Greek.
I have a carbon copy of this bike in my garage right now. Same year, same color. My dad bought it in the 90's with 5,000 miles on the odometer (after owning one when he was younger). It's the bike I learned to ride on when I got my permit as a teenager 25 years ago and my dad put over 40,000 miles on it over the next 10 years using it as his main commuter. Unfortunately, they were in an accident about 10 years ago that resulted in the bike being parked in the back of his barn, left broken and collecting dust. When the pandemic hit, I thought it would be a cool project so we dug it out and I've been slowly bringing it back to life. I can 100% sympathize with every emotion you experienced troubleshooting and attempting to fix yours. Ours is once again rideable, aside from some finicky carbs. A lot of history and family memories tied up in this little machine.
These videos are starting to give me(never owned a motorcycle or worked on engines) the completely "believable" expectation that I can find a motorcycle that isn't running for cheap and get it going by myself in a day. 😁 Enjoying these videos guys.
It's easy. Just get a Craig!
😂same
I actually bought a 81 honda cm200 and got it running last year because these guys videos
We called them "yard bikes" or "garage bikes". The sale price was a buck a cc.
Ah, the ultimate trap. If you’re mechanically competent, it’s not that hard. If you’re a novice, panic.
I love these old bike stories. This makes me wish I had my 76 CJ360T again. Of all the many bikes I've owned, for some reason that's the one I miss the most. I don't know why, actually. I guess part of it is that I got it brand new for $639 in 77 and it took me everywhere I wanted to go and never broke.
Wow, thanks for the memory jog. I had one and thought it was a really nice bike. Really reliable and was fun in the twisty roads. I had mine changed from the horrible yellow to a midnight black with hand painted coachwerk. Powder coated the frame, replaced the wiring, seat recovered in genuine livery. Got some super sticky Metzlers. Had a choice of bikes from classics to stupidity fast, but the 360 was used more than anything. It never let me down one, never! I miss it and it's loss was a real genuine sadness. It was stolen and never recovered. I also remember people thinking you said "C60" and not "360" ....... I would definitely buy another. Kinda rare now.
The 360 was actually a real 350 because the old 350 was only 325 CiCi's although they still run like a scalded a pe
I bought that exact bike brand new in 1975 with my summer job wages and rode it to high school the next two years. Man, that got me to a lot of parties back in the day and never let me down.
A friend of mine in high school owned one of these. He had anger issues, so his idea of warming it up was to start it and hold it wide open while he smoked a cigarette. Once he was done he’d ride it off to school.
The bike never blew up or started using oil which I thought was amazing.
They were some tough old bike's.
76 CB 200 was my first bike I bought for myself at 15 1/2. Could legally drive by myself with a permit. Drove it about a year then upgraded to a Kawi 650. Paid $550 for the Honda and later sold for $400. Have not seen one in a long time.
I wasn’t familiar with that particular bike however my first one was a 1975, I think, CB 350. Being legally blind and unable to acquire a valid DLI had to be extra extra careful. The vision thin cut up with me one sunny afternoon when I had a crash on the highway. Inches away from death but survived and sold the bike to a friend. It was barely hurt in the mishap. I still love motorcycles of all types and wish I could ride. Maybe not being able to do so saves my life on a daily basis. Love the motorcycles though.
I still have a 77 CB 200 which has green tank and side panels, have also seen orange CB 200's but never seen a CB 200 in yellow
I'm staring at my 75 cb200 right now. Brought it back to life after 25 years of sitting. Runs like a sewing machine.
Wow! This was my first beginner bike. Great bike had it up to 90mph, down hill, back wind, feet on back foot rest.
Lol, dude. Be careful. 🙏💕💪✌️
You must be quite small, I had one as my first bike, did about 30K miles on it. Top speed for me was about 72 mph. Only watched to minute 11:00 so far but can't understand why they have not checked the points or condenser with such a weak spark.
My first bike in '79. It was awful, but it taught me so much. That cable disc brake taught me to look just that much further. It taught me to use liquid gasket very sparingly. I learned to get counter sunk cross-head screws (with a broken E Z Out) out with spark erosion.. It also taught me that replacing gearbox selector forks on a £150 bike was sending good money after bad...
Cap 🧢
Having the sun in your back and being homesick will raise topspeed too.
It is known.
Retro motorcycles are beautiful machines and no mistake! 👍😍 ... Love that Honda! She's a beauty!
@X D One should ALWAYS check everything carefully for Joe Biden's documents!
Gota love those old hondas! I bought a 74 cb550 that hadn't run in 25 years. Took it home, cleaned up the points and plugs. Put in a new battery and she fired right up. Lol
U make me feel better about the 81 CM I got it might have more life left than I thought
That says a lot for the bikes built back then especially the Hondas from small to larger cc engines
That's just Japanese bikes in general
I have a 1988 CBR600 that goes like a rat up a drainpipe... I was given it as a non runner... no battery in it and hadn't run for a year or three..... It ever uses oil and the engine has not been taken apart. I did fit a manual cam chain tensioner as the original allowed a fair bit of chain slap, and they are known to fail sometimes.... bad news.
Overhauled the brakes (fluids, new lines and pads) and new steering head bearings (mild head shake), which were all original '88 factory equipment, and the fuel pump was knackered, but quite cheap to replace...a nice set of new tyres and we were in business. The swing arm bearings need doing (I have the kit for that)... must get it done for the next NZ summer. The old girl will still do close to its original 150mph, but I don't usually take it much over 10,500rpm....after all she's an old lady like me (I'm 80)... so we treat each other with respect... 🙂
@@KathrynLiz1 you’re an 80 yr old lady on a cbr? Id love to meet you lol
@@KathrynLiz1 80 years old on a cbr600?! Amazing. That's life goals!
look after any honda bike they will last just as long, my 04' GSXR 1000 still goes like new and looks new too
My history with vintage Hondas instantly had me thinking points, especially the bogging at high rpm. Points were the main issue with every one I worked on to get running, dirty and/or out of time. The carbs would have been my second check. Once I got those sorted though, those little Honda bikes will run forever. I really miss riding mine, but around here they just cost too much to buy now, and I had to let mine go more than a decade ago for financial reasons.
It’s so weird. How did they’ve out of time ?
@@BikesandBeards I never actually stopped to think about how it happened haha, now that you asked it really is strange. My best guess would be vibrations loosening the screws that hold the timing plate over time, and the pressure of the follower on the cam pushing it out. The followers do get worn too, causing a change in the gap, and if it's not kept up with it can be marginal for a long time before it gives up.
I will always remember when I got my membership in the club, I was 12 and had traded my bicycle for a broken moped. It was in 1979 and my parents strongly disapproved, but between the two of us my father was sort of proud. It was he who initiated me when he tried to help me fix it. 😂
I remember rebuilding the 4 pack of inline carbs on my dad's 76 cb750k...That was my intro to being totally screwed as a 17 year old kid...It was great...
First kick,holy crap!!...
Hondas....
Another great episode! Hoping that you bring the "Under $1000" bikes back for another video!
Shout out from the UK, that brought back some memories, it was the first road bike I bought way back in the 70's, I had it for years and years, and rode it to work in all weathers.
Great vid. Im old enough to remember when a 500cc bike was big. Then the 750's. Nothing wrong about riding a 200. Smaller bikes are more fun.
It's like small dogs ,more character.,I suppose.
My first street bike was a 73 Honda CB175k that I bought in 78 at 15 yrs. old. Was a great little bike that I built up with a 200cc top end from a junk yard. Rode that little thing to the west coast and back from Iowa. Great time of my life. Honda's Rule!!!
PS The ride out was two up!!! LOL
Thanks, guys, my brother had the 76 CB200, he loved it, me I was into my Yams. I found them a better allrounder, bikes were simpler in those days, too much tech stuff on the new bikes.
The Yamahas in my country always gave the CBs some thunder !
Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.
Had one of these in the early 80's, paid $150 for it.
Great reliable transportation and plenty of fun!
I paid $300 for a 1984 CM450 back in 88. Put another $300 for new chain, tires, tune up, insurance and registration. Awesome bike! Soon as I got my permit, I hopped on I-15 South from Las Vegas to San Diego. Not entirely sure that was legal. 😊
The petcock stem is usually tall inside the gas tank so you would need to put it on reserve much earlier or else it bogs out from low fuel
Yay! CB200! I learned to ride on one of those, back in.... 1976! Except mine was green, and a UK model of course. A great little bike, took me everywhere when I was a student, until I upgraded to a CB550 four after I passed my test... great memories, thanks guys!
Did they come in anything but green ?
Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.
@@ramishrambarran3998 Yes - here in the UK you could get the 76 model in red or green. The yellow ones like Shaun's I think were only sold in the States. I have seen photos of silver and blue ones online (do a Google image search) so I think the colours available depended on the year and the market they were sold in.
I had a CB 550 Four in the mid seventies. I took it to college in 75 ,
Oklahoma State. What a beautiful bike it was, can’t remember the year, maybe a 74 or 73 model. It was a orange reddish color. I’m 65 now and have had 16 motorcycles so far. I. Have always thought that 550 was the best looking bike of the bunch. I ride a GW now and will till I ant hold it up any longer. The day I can’t ride will be the day of my decline.
Years ago I bought a Honda dirt bike that was in really great shape...but it wouldn't run. The bike had been stored inside a small shed and was never properly prepped for storage. Brought it home in the back of my truck and fortunately I began working on it out on my driveway and not in the garage. It was there that I discovered it was infested with 50+ roaches, including the air box, under the tank, under the seat, parts of the frame, etc. I had to "tent" the bike for about two days. Afterwards with the tank cleaned, fresh gas, carb cleaned, new air filter, new engine oil, and no roaches it ran like a champ.
Wow! I'd say that bike was roached! lol
49 years old and have always wanted a bike but never have owned one. Your channel has ignited a fire down in my bones! (Jer 20:9) Always appreciate y’all including The Word in all episodes!
I'm still riding my 1975 Kawasaki Z1 900 I bought used in 1977 for $1100. Old bikes like mine need love over the years to be rideable. Ive done lots of work on it to keep it running. Its a cool bike. That CB 200 tach is mechanical, the cable is old and worn out. The rust is coming off the jugs and guts of the muffler baffles.
Yep, I am in the get shocked checking spark club. Lol
I did not know Honda made a cb200, that's pretty cool.
So cool I had a 70's cb500 when I was in my 20's. It was awesome. I traded my broken down Mustang II for it. This takes me back.
I love the small engine Hondas from the 70’s. I rebuilt a 1970 Honda Cb175 and would love to own a cb200
That's like my dream bike, not big, runs but needs a little tinkering, something to blast around the island on the weekends!
Much like all British bikes of the time, most Japanese bikes came from the factory with Dunlop K70 tires during that era. They are still made today and are a really economical tire that can also handle mild offroading.
I believe they were "Made in Japan" Dunlops. Don't know if they were as good as the British made ones. When I wore out the rear tire on my Z1A I replaced it with a Yokohama.
Love these little hondas! I have 2 of them. But the 125cc version. Everything is identical except 75cc less than yours. People should know that these where a milestone back in the days. 2 cylinder 125cc reving to 12 000 rpm producing 15hp. Highly econimical with something like 3l/100km. Still ride it sometimes makes me smile everytime. For sure looks small next to the BMW R1150GS.
I never heard of any 125cc Honda twin motorcycle. My new Honda CB 125 I bought in 1976 had a single cylinder with less than 15 horsepower.
I googled a Honda 125cc twin and I see they did make one, I've never heard of it however until now.
i had some of the same issues when I got my 1969 CL175 Scambler up n rumning. That one I did right at home (not 100 +,- miles from home. You guys take the term test drive to another level. Good job and have funn on it. You meet the Nicest people on a Honda.
I bought a 1976 Sachs/Columbia "Yardman" 49cc pedal moped last year that hadn't run for probably 20 years. First thing I did was clean and readjust the points when I saw no spark. New fuel line (old one was brittle and broke), fresh 2 cycle gas, a little choke, and she fired up and is a runner now. Knowing points and condensers on these old machines is huge.
You guys were hilarious in this episode! Those tires were super sketchy Sean! I owned a '76 CB360 twin with scrambler pipes. Fun bike, never stranded me. I bought it new for around $800? In California, it did vibrate on the freeway. Good luck with your CB200. Keep the old bike videos coming🔥👍
That’s awesome
Awesome video!! I used to live in Lancaster, PA and sometimes these videos bring back some great memories of living there. I have been watching a ton of this channel lately. Learning a lot of good information about bikes and purchasing them as well. So helpful and Sean and Craig just seem like such great guys. Love the Bible verse each video too.
You guys should make a video every week or so about the history and story of these old bikes, maybe pepper some for fun facts into the videos. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's a fiend for little tid bits
My first street bike was a 1984 Honda CB 450 I bought from a relative for about $500.00 in 1993. I then went on years later to own a 1982 Kawasaki KZ 1100A. Now that KZ 1100A in-line four was the fastest Crotch Rocket I have owned to date. I bought her from a motorcycle mechanic for $950.00 around Christmas in December 2003. Sadly, she was wiped out when an old lady in a cage (automobile) failed to yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic while making a left turn without a turn signal. That happened 5-19-04 and I am crippled to this day. The good thing is that I took a Rider Safety Course through the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (earning my Az. Motorcycle Endorsement) and I feel that what they taught me saved my life that night. I recommend taking that course whether you have been riding for a few months or a few years. Myself, I have ridden motorcycles since 1983. I am fifty now. That should tell you how many years I have been riding. Keep the rubber side down and ride safe. Always wear a DOT approved helmet.
My first bike in 1972 was a Honda CL450. Rode from MN to SC for college. In 1975 rode it from SD to CA through TX and back to SD. Blew a piston outside Post, TX-that was no fun. I don’t blame the bike though, the original owner put glass pack pipes on it and didn’t adjust the carbs so it ran too lean. I didn’t know any better.
Wow....that ending kind of had me tearing up. I love a happy ending.
I can remember when there were huge numbers of these running around the UK, especially London.
It seemed like everyone and their neighbour had one, they were so ubiquitous.
Its as if, then, they all vanished...
I bought one of them 1975 CB200 back in 1991 was 16 years young then! It was more of a gold color tank with that rubber strip! It also had both gold color side parts 😂 eventually sold it 200$ in 1993 it was in pretty good shape except for a front sprocket ⚙️🤷🏻♂️
This video brought back so many memories, thanks for sharing this awesome ride!
✌🏼😎👍🏼
What a lovely bike that is, I hope you manage to get it running as new again and let it continuing to go on adventures.
Thanks for rescuing these old 70s and 80s bikes!
I like watching "Bikes and Beards" for all the great advice, like "Go as fast as you can to get there sooner!" It's invaluable to new riders like me!
The similar 1978 Honda CB250N was the best selling motorcycle in the UK for a few years (due to learner max cc regulations) but was quite a revelation as a small bike that behaved well and reliably enough to be used as a tourer. I have some very fond memories of it - passing my test on it and doing some 9000 miles in the first year, with trips around England and on to Scotland, Ireland and France.
I absolutely love these bikes. They're one of my favourites! I've been looking for a decent one for years to make a café bike out of it...And then another one to make an enduro! Thanks, guys! Another fun road trip! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
I had a 72 CB 500 and it never let me down. You guys are real entertainment and loads of knowledge. Thanks for the videos!
You guys should make a more detailed video on fixing the points, might be the issue with my 70s bike.
I taught the MSF beginner rider courses in the 70s, and CB200s were frequently provided by local dealers. They quickly became my favorites in the fleet. I wish I had one today! My personal bike at the time was a 73 Z1.
I'm a new subscriber to beards and bikes, I live across the water in England. Your channel is so entertaining, I've been riding bikes for 45+years , I notice you often quote from the bible, this is a quote I heard from some old boy years ago. Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly. Keep the faith .
Err. I'm not to good with online stuff . The only thing I can do online is to hang my laundry on one to dry...
That tank was always a favorite And the mechanical front disk brake is kind of cool
Thanks for the great videos
which reminds me, where are all these old bikes you keep bringing home? any updates? what did you do? did you restore them? did you sell them? where are they?
Used to have a 1973 CB175 twin and my lil brother got a 1974 CB200 twin for around 3 years. This video brings me so much nostalgia on how to keep those bike running. All the spark plug, carb, and ignition issues just like back jn the days. Miss her so much but can't keep up with the maintenance...
Thanks guys, I just love this channel. You guys make me laugh and some of these old cheap bikes bring back (now great) memories of breaking down at the worst possible time. And place.
BTW always check the points on older bikes esp. the dual point modesl. The tach is probably cable driven in that year so lube it.
Hi Sean, stop warring the sunglasses unless the sun is shining. People who judge you for blinking your eyes should be ashamed of themselves. You are who you are brother!
Maybe he just smokes weed for chronic back pain.
Hiding blink tics could just be an added benefit 😋
Jk
Same idea justin!!!
Or just let him do what makes him feel comfortable?
He could have light sensitivity.
I can't freakin see when I'm outside because it's to bright and gives me a stress migraine from squinting to block some of it out🤣
@@usernamedaniedmrg dude I feel you there
I owned one of these back in 1977. Pretty decent little bikes. I'll always remember the sticker on the tank which read, "Preserve life wear a saftey helmet." Interesting video, enjoy your ride BB.
Last fall I got a 75 cb200t from a lady I did some landscaping for for 200 dollars and 2 weeks later I took it on a 200 mile trip to superior wisconsin for my first motorcycle ride further than the gas station and it was a trip I'll never forget. On the way home it started running poorly and I had to clean the jets with a strand of wire from my jumper pack I had with me but in no time it was back on the road. It's a slow bike but it's a lot cooler than it is slow!
Nice job! Keep up the good work!
Love the bantering! Lots of fun!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Looking forward to you's getting this 200 onto the dyno and rejetting the carbs to get it back to full health (once you get new tyres on it of course lol)
Plugs and HT leads would be a good start after all that time. These were great little bikes with really nice styling. We have all got used to electronic ignition too and tend to discount points, which can be easily fixed roadside. Well done rescuing this classic! 👍🏻
well said.
Love you guys and your content. I grew up riding motorcycles in that era which I believe is the very best time to grow up in America.
I really enjoy your adventures with old bikes and getting them home under their own steam.
Point ignition system that's a throwback to the very first moped I had! Darn things caused lots of problems, the electronic ignition on my Honda MT-5 moped was so much more reliable never missed a beat!
I had a H reg one of those in 1996 a black and yellow one called bumble bee.
@@chrishart8548 Funny mine is also black&yellow with tiger sticker set, still have it.
@@EdgeOfPanic I got rid of mine got a cb125rs in metallic red to replace it. I still have the cb125rs at my dad's house. I bought a new baffle for the mt5 as it was completely missing and did the piston rings. I think I also fitted a 14 tooth front sprocket. It was 1 tooth up from the stock one. It pulled really well and was good for around 35mph.. had loads of friends with ts50x ts50er and dt50mx and none were any faster.
Had the same year but cx500. One of my favorite bikes I ever owned
My big brother has a ‘74 CL-125, He was 6’3”. It definitely looked tiny, but still a nice bike. I had an a ‘71 SL 125, significantly larger, taller frame. Somewhat echoing Craig’s remark, I think the Honda small street bikes were built back then for Japanese height-challenged humans.
My first bike was a cb 350 1971 model. I rode it to school at 15 n a half yrs old. It was a 1 hr ride to high school same back. Some of the best days of my life. Hwy1 drakes bay to tomales high.
These old Honda twins are so cool. Being a 200cc I think just makes it cooler. I've never seen those carbs on the CB's before, but my dad has them on his SL350, they're a cool idea, but I don't think they seal as good as 4 screws. My buddy has a late 60's CL175 twin, that I keep trying to buy off of him, but he refuses to sell it. My current on/off project is a 1964 Honda C105T (Trail 55). Runs pretty good, but needs some TLC all the way around.
What a nice little bike. Reminds me of the '74 CB360 twin I had in the early 90s - I put thousands of highway miles on it (buzzy but otherwise nice to ride) and enjoyed that bike every time I rode it. I miss the simple, inexpensive bikes that seemed to be everywhere years ago - I've looked for another one, but these days, everyone seems to want $3k for anything that isn't a basket case.
I really look forward to these episodes, they been awesome, I can’t wait to get another bike once you start riding it’s like a itch you can’t scratch unless you ride again, safe travels always
This bike grew out of the 175 which was known to be very economical, dependable and easy to work on. They were very popular as commuters, especially in the UK. The CD version was single carb, deeper valanced painted fenders and incredible fuel mileage. You should be able to hit at least 80 MPH.
Old honda's are the best. I'm wondering what instructional RUclips video you guys were watching. I'm gonna guess it was a Common Motors Collective video. At the end you should have had Dan grab the spark plug again...it was kind of anticlimactic that he didn't get shocked. I've had that happen accidentally... it hurts.
Woop woop another upload by my favourite chanel! God bless you guys. 🙏 stay safe and keep it rubber side down!
Sending love all the way from the 🇬🇧
Thanks again!
Fun stuff Sean, glad you made it safely! Glad you continue to share your faith too!
I love the style of the old Hondas! Had a 1970 CB 175
8:35 😲 that main jet hole is HUGE! Lol. Our CB175 had pod filters and headers, ran great, and the mains weren't that large.
CB 175 was a great little bike , the only twin that has both pistons rise together , dont remember if they actually fired together
@@bruceaskin9645 they fire alternating, one every 360 degrees. I had an SL175, 1971 or so, was my first bike, in 1980.
My dream bike is a 60s-70s Honda CB. I’m hoping to get my first motorcycle soon, this video definitely didn’t help me as now I want to find an old CB thinking I can fix it on my own😂
I had two of these as a kid as a feild bike in the 80s i remember i paid £25 quid for two of em me and my mate fixed em up i cleaned up the carbs put some knobblie tyres on em that rubbed on the mudguards lol stripped off the indicators and rear light and changed the bars and chased down a few bad earths as it was a pig to start before i did that they where ridden for a few months then sold to other kids was a great summer over the feilds 🤘
YOKO-HAMA !
It appears that the inner cable for the tach is broken. At the break, the driving end is driving the driven end by friction, hence the low RPM indication on the tach.
In the late 70's Honda came out with a CM185T, twin. Teardrop tank and kind-of-buckhorn handlebars. Like a toy !
Dan has plastic-lined fingertips................like birds' feet !

You always need to dump Seafoam in when you’re dealing with motors that have been sittin!
Sean, I know you're a Millennial and all, but, not EVERY pair of jeans needs to be rolled... Sincerely a Gen X-er! Love you guys! Keep making great vids.
It's actually a CB 200 T... I bought 5 of the Honda 175 /200 models 2 CB 1 was a 175 2 CL 1 was a 175 and 1 200 CB-T models with little time and parts invested I had them all running....from the 70s into the 90s I ran ads wanted running or not any make or model...bought everything that came my way...I also did that with go-karts mini-bikes riding mowers...you guys should tell your mechanic tip cleaners for a cutting torch work great for cleaning carb jets...didja clean up the petcock? set the valves?
I bought one of these a few months ago. Looking forward to your series on this to learn more about it 😀
I've learned with those old CB's.. a bottle of carb cleaner in the tank really helps. Also my old cd350, the washer to hold the point timing in place is $80 from Honda. At least that's what Honda tried to sell me one for. They sell them at Ace hardware store for 10¢.
You bought this from a guy named Scott Wisner. I was in the process of meeting up with him but you beat me to it. Probably by 1 hour
You got lucky...lol
Currently getting part's for my stepfathers 1975 cb125s and can't wait until I can walk again then get that puppy going. They are fun to putt around the city in. God bless 🙌 🙏
this has been a great video ! i so happy when you got on the road . I want to learn more about how to fix motorcycles . Wish there was a free internship or something ...lol
The rust falling off is just a design feature to save weight as the bike ages.
I'm looking for my first starter bike and I'm happy you found this cb200 so I can get a better idea of how they are. I've seen a few that I've been interested in
don't do it their appalling at teaching skills because you can ride full throttle everywhere. it doesn't teach finesse
@@jediknight129 I can ride a motorcycle I just need to get me a bike. I have a harley but it's too big for me right now
@@gabesmith2112 the small bikes suck on the road for more than dicking around sadly.
@@jediknight129 howabout a gs450? I just scored a 1983 all original Suzuki gs450 L for £100 🤟
@@wasterdnb good luck with it mine frustrated me
Tip cleaning kit for torch heads is what I use to clean jets! They work awesome, have a lot of sizes down to very small & are really strong.💪👍
OMG!!! That was my first motorcycle!! Same year too!! Except mine was red. I bought it right before my 14th Birthday and rode it everywhere. Adjusting the 2 carbonators was kind of a pain on this bike though.
My first and only motorcycle was a CB 200 the red version, used to carry 2 girls on it ,one on the tank and one behind me to discos , ah the 70's so less complicated.
I had one of these years ago. Got it running pretty well. The one thing that failed and left me stranded, was the stator failed, drained the battery, and left me out on a remote hwy at 2am lol. Felt like it ran out of gas, but nope, it was spark. Mine was black. I still miss it in a masochistic kinda way :D
Sean that’s awesome! I have a 1969 CB350 that was in boxes that is now my daily. The old Hondas are awesome!
You guys are so awesome! Love your humor and seriousness all at the same time. Especially love how you pray over your ride. God bless 👍🏻
I had a Honda 250 G5. It was top heavy and underpowered. I replaced it with a self built Ducati 350 cafe racer then a 500 Pantah now a 999.
Man. How did those tires not blow? Do tubed tires even "blow" or would they just shred from being so old? Either way, really insane.
Welding rod tip cleaners are great for cleaning out Jets and nozzles.
After graduating from public school I was around 14 or 15 my father gave me a mini bike that needed some love to say the least. I remember at the shop trying to pull it over and it giving me the biggest shock of my life. We also put a 4" nipple on er and holy cow she was loud, bounced around the floor lol. Good memories that I'll have for the rest of my life, im thankful for all the lord has provided me with. Also the transformation of the old sears mini bike was amazing as a kid, putting in the time and effort and seeing it come together. Ps: hand sanding sucks, kinda wish he let me operate a grinder with a wire wheel lol
Another great video!👍 I need a Craig in my life, haha. I love the old Honda CB motorcycles. I'm interested to see what you do with it.
