I went this weekend and bought the 200s but after seeing it in person "not third person party report" it needed more work than I previously thought. The throttle was stuck, the breaks were stuck all the tires were flat. the left front back brake assembly is broken off. the compression release cable is pulled out of the housing . I sprayed it down at the car wash took it home and took off the tank a swished about a gallon of gas through it and refilled. Sprayed the carb fully of carb gunk put the tank back on added a new plug and the bike started the first pull. The bike sat in the rain for three years and inside of a building with garbage over it for another five so I am now a firm beliver in that a honda must be the product to own. I spayed carb cleaner into the carb in spurts until the throttle would work. Pumped the tires up long enough to go for a test drive, "I'm so impressed." this was the first three wheeler I've ever owned . It still won't idle in gear unless the choke is on so I hsve to keep the revs up when i stop in gear. The back breaks finally work loose but the front breaks the cable is streached about 2 inches longer than it should be but even when i engage the breaks manually down on the wheel nothig happens. For now only back breaks are fine. Now what i would like to do is make i looks as good as possible,"NEW PLASTIC???" Who makes new plastic for a honda 200s? Front fender, Tank, and rear fender section? Thanks for the input.
