Never heard of it, but it's about time somebody built one. The fenders and frame are a total win, but the tank shape needs work. A Sporty tank would be perfect.

There was an ad on UsedVictoria today for 200cc bobbers.
Could not check out the site due the filters my work has on my internet.

Nice looking bike. Never heard of it though.

Those look like Kikker bobbers: http://www.kikker5150.com/hardknock.html (scroll down the page to find the 200).

That's a lot of cash for a 200. I wonder if they have TC approval yet; if so, that might explain the cost. They've been available in the US for some time.

Certainly a "no mercy" situation on the price!

In the depths of winter here, 2006-2008 Sportsters are selling for that, and will continue to be worth exactly (if not more) what you paid for it, year in, year out. I looked at a Triumph speed triple here last week for $3000 (asking). There is a local guy trying to unload a Ducati monster (salvage title) for $4000 (asking).

I say get a two piece tank like for the real choppers, get rid of all the blinquers and put on some straight handle bars and I think it be a beautifull bike to cruise around :D

I agree with the straight handlebars but would keep the tank and replace the mirrors with bar end ones.
And the Secondary Air Injection would have to go.
Flat black would be my choice.
The motor is really 230cc or so. Honda clone?

Prior to my XF200 - was my 1982 Honda CM200 Twinstar
 

I Sold this after building it, Becuase I wanted the XF200. I paid $150.00 FOR THIS BIKE. It was a basket case, but had a really sweet low miles engine. Basically rebuilt every nut and bolt on it. Chopped her down 2.5" Redid everything. Total investment was $700 and I sold her for $1700.
If you want to see just how modified this bike is Google picstures of a Honda Twinstar - Hated to do it, but fell in love with the XF200.

Have a Peek and Enjoy!

That bike looks and sounds amazing! That's the first interesting Twinstar I've ever seen! 8)

How did you get it to sound like a V-Twin with a cam? :?:

My Honda Twinstar
 

Wasn'thard to get the sound. I cut the Muflers off - LOL Added 8" to each side to extend the pipes back. (Not shownin video) Wrapped the Pipesin Header Tape. I was going to add some baffles - but sold her as is. I did love the way she sounded also. I am going to get a FMF or Pro Circuit Can for my XF200 Very soon. Can't wait to see what that does. 8O

I went ahead and got the bobber
