I have 2 CB200’s and a CL200. Needless to say… I’m a fan of these bullet proof little bikes!


However, space is of a premium, so I’ve reluctantly decided to sell (Rupert) my Gold CB200.

[see Reg: RBM "Rupert Bear's Motorcycle" ...blame my daughter !]


It’s in honest oily-rag condition, remember... 'Rupert' turns 50 in November! but positively has:

• · ELECTRIC START ! (1976 the Japanese were way ahead of the game, back in the day !)
• · New Tyres Front & Back (plus new Inner-tubes)
• · New Brake Pads Front & Back
• · Fresh Engine Oil
• · Twin Carbs, stripped down and ultrasonic cleaned.
• · Original Exhausts on both sides (apparently this is a valuable asset)
• · Relatively recent Battery (2025)
• · Not a rusty ‘Barn Find’ or an unregistered USA import !
• · V5C Log Book in my name and demonstrates it’s an original model for the UK
• · 14,829 miles (Average less than 300 miles per year ! that's got to represent 'Low Mileage')
• · Low Insurance premiums, Tax & MoT Exempt

Plus the usual annual maintenance services such as chain being degreased, cleaned, re-greased, throttle, brake and clutch cables being cleaned, oiled and adjusted, Front disk calliper stripped, cleaned, greased. Air filters cleaned etc etc.



Although, as an Historic Vehicle, it is Tax & MoT Exempt, I did elect get an MoT (Pass) last year just for my own confidence.



Negatives:

• · The previous owner removed the back-up kick-start with an angle grinder in order to fit sweeping racing exhausts. Fortunately he still had the original exhausts which I subsequently reinstalled (the buyer is welcome to the sweeping racing ones if they want them!). I have purchased a replacement kick-start and kick starter spindle (which I’ll gift to the buyer if the eventual sale price exceeds £2,100). However, in all the time I have owned CB200's... I have never found a need to use a kick-start (needless to say... neither did the previous owner!).
• 
  
• · It has the expected patina of a pre-loved 50 year old bike and, as such, is not a concourse show stopper but, I guess, it does has the capacity to be, so if that is your interest and you are looking for a reliable project to work on whilst enjoying it at the same time, you will not be disappointed, if this were to become your projects start point.
• · Just noticed, from the video, that the ‘Neutral’ light bulb, located in the Rev Counter, needs replacing.

The bike is located in Rugby, Warwickshire. I can recommend a motorcycle collection/delivery service, that I have used in the past, to the Buyer, should they require some guidance and direction.



Viewing highly recommended.



Payment via PayPal or Bank Transfer prior to collection preferred.



As a member of the VJMC (Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club) I 'may' end the Auction early if an enquiry comes from the club's network. (I also recommend that the Buyer joins the VJMC as it is a valuable resource and a great community)



Happy to answer any questions. Best, Simon

Asking price? Perhaps I missed it in that very detailed ad.
