Hello to all and would like to introduce myself as another inheritor of a humble Honda CB200.
I managed to pick this little beauty up for $600 @ 99% complete just requiring some plugs and a few other little things to get her going (apparently). I wish to post my build as a timeline and would be very thankful to have your own opinions, experiences and advice to re-build into a Cafe Racer/Brat ish style bike. I have a build in my head and cycling on the television in my cave/workshop to motivate the build. I will put pictures of what I want to achieve.
About me: Well I dont come from a mechanical background but like to think my hands can make change. Having renovated a house and always completed modications on cars, vans and boats my next venture is this. Im am a nurse on the Gold Coast, QLD, Australia.
The build will be slow due to full-time working. Im giving myself approximately 12months with complete overhaul and engine rebuild. I want to do it right the first time and giving myself a budget over this time period of around $4000 in modifications.
Hopefully like all projects I come in under cost and time. Fingers crossed. Wish me luck
