I'm new here and thought I'd show my bikes. I'm from Belgium (Europe), so my English might not be flawless !
Being a student I try to keep things as cheap as possible! Here's my bikes:
The CB200:
Bought this one off some guy who had bought a CB750 and didn't feel like restoring the little guy anymore. There was no rust or real damage, actually it looked pretty damn good but it had some problems. The wiring was cut in several places and needed some serious work, the ignition was off, some parts were missing, the carbs were all messed up. In the mean time I've done all electrical work with some help from my dad, cleaned out the carbs and got most missing parts. The bike runs now but I'm still struggling to get the carb tuned just right. The paint job was just sprayed on top of the original reddish orange (wich wasn't even sanded) and really not that well done. So I decided to repaint the tank and side covers. Still doubting wich color I should choose though. The goal is to restore it first, then go for a cafe racer look!
The GPZ 305:
This was my first "real" motorcycle. I used it to pass my driver's license and now it's for sale (need some money for the cb 200). Had alot of fun with it but I like the old honda alot more! I didn't really do alot of work on this one. Just some small optical changes like the taillight, mirrors, ... and had to fit it with a new rear shock. Pretty fast bike though for a 305!
Others:
The one I used to ride to school before I stepped up to motorcycles (sold now) was a honda monkey CB750k0 edition. Sold it as soon as I was 18 to start riding bigger motorcycles!
The only one I can't bring myself to sell is my little moped I've had for ages
There u go, that's it for now, I'll try to update the topic when I make some progress on the CB!
