While surfing the net, I came across this little Honda. I haven't heard of the model and suspect it isn't even sold in Oz or N.Z. (Maybe it's coming). There are always newbies looking for an entry level bike and I reckon this would be just the ticket if they were available. Great looks and I reckon they would sell a heap of them.

CBF200?

If it is, I had one of those 8 years ago. That's what they gave name Honda Tiger2000 in Indonesia, and I think the first version actually came up in Brazil in 1982.

old technology with single cyl, 200cc, carburetor and single cam.
Dunno about this one as it seems from the picture has undergone a lot of changes (at least cosmetically).

Looks like the styling is based on those CB500 twins that came out many years ago.

4 is ridiculous.

Same thing as is wrong with a chick with 4 tits. It's excessive. 'Cept maybe a Squariel, cos they're special anyway.

Small honda's can be a prob if you ask me, I got burn't by them (not litterally)... Always ask if it is a Bronda (Brizilian built Honda). If it is STAY WELL CLEAR OF IT.....
