Default Picked up another vintage bike

I got this bike showing up this week. $750 + shipping. It's a 1981 Honda CM200T, 6K miles. It's the predecessor to the Honda Rebel. I got it for the same reason I got my KZ250, to ride around town and commute. The KZ250 needs a little work, and I have owned a Rebel and a Nighthawk in the past, so I have a little bit of a soft spot for these bikes.







Should be here Wednesday or Thursday, looking forward to it!

Trying to give Leno a run for his money?

Looks good though man, are you buying all of these from the same place?

I'm seriously considering starting a collection of little vintage bikes, lol. You can pick them up for less than a grand usually.

It's funny, I spent a good 10 years making and selling vintage motorcycle parts (1901-1953 Indians) and I feel old when the mid 80's bikes are considered "vintage"

Vintage to me. Any bike before 1975 I would consider ancient.

I think my next bike is going to be a Yamaha DT-1 Enduro or some kind of 30-40 year old clean enduro.

Yeah those are cool. I saw one on Devner craigslist the other day. A little too big/heavy for my idea of an around town/beater bike though.
