hello i recently purchaced a bike for 25 dollars. it its pretty beat up and old. it is a honda i know that for sure ( sorry guys) just a cheap progect for me to do in my spare time. but i cant figure out what model or year it is or anything like that. there are no decals or anything cause it has been repainted. how can i figure out what it is so i know what to get for parts? here is the only pic i have of it. it doesnt seem to have to big of a motor but dont really know. cant tell.

look on the neck and the motor for the vin numbers and send them to me and i will tell ya what it is. cliff

It looks like a Honda Twinstar to me. CM185T or CM200T.
I think they made them from '78-'80.
Hopefully there is a plate on the steering head with the manuf. date and model name.

Are you in the USA, Australia, Canada, Belize, Ecuador, or what?

The only clue we have is that you use dollars, but Honda models, especially the smaller ones, vary quite a bit depending on where in the world you are.

And don't worry -- we love rescuing old bikes, even if they are Hondas. And that one definitely needs some rescuing.

Firstly, update your profile so we know where you are.

Secondly, that's a good little project. Make sure to check back every so often and show us how it comes along. Little bikes can be a lot of fun.

did the big rusty chain come with it - if so, special deal!

I think all Hondas come with that chain. It keeps 'em from running away and returning to the factory.

+1 on Twinstar
