1964 Honda The Ninety Pushrod C200/CA200 87cc

For sale is a Honda C200, a charming and nimble motorcycle that is easy to ride and exceptionally reliable. This four-stroke single machine starts up effortlessly with a quiet and smooth idling engine. It is a pleasure to ride with its comfortable and convenient sit-up-and-beg riding position. All controls are light, positive, and within easy reach, while the clutch is especially effortless. The C200 is perfect for navigating through traffic, thanks to its maneuverability.

The brakes are adequate, although the front brake can be a little spongy at times. The electrical equipment is up to the usual excellent Honda standard, with a neutral indicator light, flashing indicators, speedometer light, stop light, pilot light, and amply powerful main beam. The flashing indicator switch operation is positive.

The C200 boasts an impressive engine with plenty of power, good cruising speed, and ultra-economy, making it a fantastic buy. The all-iron barrel and cylinder head help to keep mechanical noise low, and the bike is oil tight.
