Doesn't look overloaded to me. I would have chosen a better load (Hamms or Carlings Black Label for instance) Bud is nasty.

I've been seeing this deal at the dealership lately. Buy a bike today, and get a week's supply of beer. BTW, tell them you drink all day everyday to get a nice supply going.

It is a 1965 Honda C200. It is a 90cc engine alright, but the neat thing about it has the cast iron cylinder and head with overhead valves operated by pushrods. The iron construction is obviously a bit heavier than aluminum, but it is nice and quiet. BTW, this bike starts on the first kick and still run flawlessly. I get tons of smiles and waves when riding it, especially from kids.

Awesome bike!
Where'd you find it?
BTW your license plate looks a bit screwy

Thanks.
After a few years of trying to find one I discovered this one a short distance from my home. It had been in the original owner's possession for almost 4 decades...I'm the third owner.
This is the type of bike that sparked my interest in motorcycles back when I was about 8 years old. Many of the local teenagers of the time had them and I would watch them polish them up on Saturday mornings before they headed out to pick up their girlfriends. Sure looked like a lot of fun to me.
