We’ve only seen two CB200 Hondas here on Barn Finds, and I ended up buying the first one I wrote about back in 2022. This great-looking orange 1976 Honda CB200T can be found listed here on Facebook Marketplace in Le Center, Minnesota, and they’re asking just $800 or best offer! Here is the original listing, and please give me strength on this one. I do not need another motorcycle, especially a CB200T. But only $800?!
I hope I make it through this one without buying this thing. It’s been a horrible year so far, income-wise, and I blew through a lot of my savings just paying a mind-blowing tax bill, which is really sad. I’m all about paying my fair share, but wow. I snagged the last one I wrote about here on Barn Finds after having looked at it in person. This bike is a little further away, but it really looks nice, and that price is so low it’s painful.
Honda made the CB200 for four years, with a slight change in the middle. It’s easy to pick them apart by the 1973/’74 models (CB200A/CB200B) and the 1975/’76 models (CB200K/CB200T). I prefer the last two years for its clean look and also the bright colors. Anything you can do to be more visible on the road is a good. These exhaust pipes aren’t original; they’re about six inches shorter than what the factory pipes would have been. Luckily, David Silver Spares can provide the factory pipes, at least in appearance; they won’t have the original Honda numbers on them. I ordered a left pipe for mine as it has a rust hole on the bottom.
There’s not much info given on this bike. The seller says they bought it from the original owner, and it’s in very nice condition. It reportedly ran a couple of years ago but has been sitting in their shed since then. At $800 or offer, this is the world’s biggest no-brainer. I can’t believe I haven’t contacted the seller yet.
The engine is Honda’s 198-cc SOHC parallel-twin with 17 horsepower and 10 lb-ft of torque, passing through a 5-speed manual, sending power to the rear wheel. It isn’t currently running, but I have no doubt that, unless there’s something major going on, this bike could be on the road again in a few hours. I’d check the tire date codes, too. At $800 or offer, which one of you will beat me to this CB200T?!
That’s a nice looking machine. It would be neat to breath new life into it and between David Silver and Common Motor a person could have it running and looking like new in no time.
