Now has working clutch and front brake. Reckon if I muddle through it over the weekend it will be rideable on Sunday.
But may go help me mate get his TS185 going. Dont want to ride alone.
Apart from the lack of a chain.
But will tear down forks, they feel kinda stiff. Think there gummed up. On lookout for good headlight and surround for it. But that can wait. No budget for a bit.

yep its a hot looking bike..not like mine hehe
we were thinking of heading up to woodhill for an xr200 weekend sometime in the future, will have to let you know!

Shit yes I would be up for that. But I will be a total newby.
Also need to make a rack for on the back of the car.
Easy Biker
I loved my XR200RD 1983 model and it is one bike I wouldn't regret it if I still had it. When I bought mine new in March 83 my Bro' was punting his XR200RB. See this old post http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...518#post271518 we thrashed those bikes relentlessly and they never broke. If you restore yours to its former glory it will be a great bike.
Cheers

Hell yes.Best wheelie bike EVER!!!! Cool bike
I had an XR200RC. I would love to have another one now.
I've wheelied many bikes but the 200RC was the easiest and best balanced by far.
For 5+ years it was my everyday ride and my weekend forestry trail blazer (every weekend!!).
I had the 230 kit put in mine (one of the first I believe, it was the first one M&V Honda sold).
I thought it was great bike before but as a 230 it was even better.
Mine cracked the frame just above the kick start but a decent tig welder solved that problem,
XR200RC ................. ahhhhh, Happy Days
