All Original 1964 Honda CT200 Trail 90 Motorcycle Here we have for sale a beautiful all original 1964 Honda CT200 motorcycle. This model was the very beginning of the Trail 90's but the engines are completely different then the Honda Trail 90's from 1967 and later. The Honda CT200's are very rare and seldom seen. You can always find Trail 90's but these early CT200's are extremely collectible and never come up for sale, especially in this spectacular original condition. Just look how nice and original and untouched this bike is. Everything is original, except the battery on the bike. Tires, seat, plastics, paint, and everything! It's spectacular to find such an untouched early Honda like this. The bike was bought brand new from Bill Rudd Motors right here in Reno. That was the Honda dealer in the 1960's and 1970's in Reno. I bought the bike from the original owners, who as you can see, hardly ever rode the bike, and kept great care of it for the years. The Bill Rudd decals are still present on both side covers. There is still the original Bill Rudd key chain on the original Honda key in the ignition. The engine is a unique "pushrod" engine that is unique to the CT200. It's a 90cc four stroke with a four speed transmission but the engine is totally different of that of the newer 1967 and later style engines. Compare this engine to another 90 and you will see the difference. It still has the dual sprocket on the rear wheel. I still have the original extra chain that you would add to the existing chain to be able to use the larger off-road sprocket. The original Nitto tires are still in pretty good shape for being original. They have good tread and the rubber is still soft and pliable. There is minor cracking in them. Pretty common on rubber tires even today! The original chrome DID rims are in excellent condition. The hubs and spokes are in excellent original condition. The paint on the entire bike is bright yellow and shines beautifully. The yellow against the chrome is very shape and looks great in the sun. There is a few little wear makes in the paint and some scratches in it, like there is a scratch on the left side of the gas tank, and there is a scratch on the rear fender and bottom of the front forks. Pretty minimal for a bike of this age and what it was original intended to be used for, off road trail riding by kids and adults. The original frame wire wrap is in great shape on the bike. The plastic headlight bucket is in excellent condition which is incredibly rare, these old plastic covers are always cracked, broken, and repaired, not this one! The side covers are original yellow Honda parts and have a cool Bill Rudd decal on them. There is some minor scratching on them from riders shoes. The original tool kit is still in the side cover. The chrome exhaust pipe is bright and shiny and looks wonderful. The exhaust is original and has never been damaged or crashed on, there is a couple of little rust spots right near the tip of the exhaust, it's very minor but there. The seat is all original. This has never had a replacement seat cover like so many Honda's get. It does, however, have a teeny tiny little rip right on the top of it. See pictures. It's very minor and I would just leave it because it shows the age and originality of the bike and shows that the seat is original the seat foam is still nice and soft and comfortable. I just put a brand new battery in the bike. The electrical is all in working order, the high and low beam headlight both works, the tail light and brake light work too! Oh, and the horn is in good working order as-well. The handlebars, cable and controls are all original and in excellent original and untouched condition. The chrome handlebars are very nice! They are straight and have no issues with them. The original CT200 grips and levers are in excellent condition. The grips show little wear on them. The levers are specific to these early bikes and are straight and not bent or broken. The original grey cables are still in good and operational. The carburetor has just been cleaned and completely gone through. It too is specific to these bikes. The engine starts up typically first kick and runs great! The bike has excellent power for adult riders, I am 185 pounds and it runs excellent when I ride it. The transmission shifts good and smooth. The bike is a collectors bike that has been on display in my garage. It has been cared for and cherished by me. This is my favorite bike in my collection. It just time for it to go. You don't find cleaner original CT200's. Do not miss out on this bike, you probably won't find another original bike like this. The bike isn't perfect, it does have 2,500 miles but you wouldn't know it. It shows minor wear on the sides of the engine, and on the paint but overall, a wonderful original Honda. I do have a Nevada title for the bike. I have to sell this bike as-is because although the bike is in great original condition. I can not guarantee anything because it is a bike that is over 40 years old. Please ask any and all questions that you may have before buying the bike. My phone number is 775-830-6760. I can store the bike in my garage for a month so that shipping arrangements are made. I can help coordinate with the shipping company, whoever the buyer schedules, pickup of the motorcycle. Shipping is the buyers responsibility. I have a good friend who ships cars from Reno to Southern California and can ship the bike there for a couple hundred dollars. I can possibly get a motorcycle pallet and straps to tie the bike down if the shipping company would like it on one. Thank you for looking!
