the honda (I think) was the first yr they made electric starters.. that is what my dad said at least but i dont know what yr that is..... mabey some one else will know

?what was the first yr honda put electric starters on the 175cc

anyhow I rode that little beast for about 40 miles at 45-50mph anyfaster and it got scary
they are very very small

anyhow i thought someone might dig this little bike Im still saving for a zong but you have to give me some points for effort in "borrowing" a groovy bike for the day


peace .......]
btw that was at the smoky hill wind farm

oddly for the short ride i took the little bike on it felt more comfy to me atleast than the virago :wink:

I had a 1975 CB200 with electric start. It was a comfortable bike. It cruised at 55, but much faster was scary too.

I would say that bike is about a 1973.

Great bike. A friend of mine had one when we were in college. I was very jealous! Love those antique Hondas!
