I actually think it’s one of the better uses for a CB200, it might even do the speed limit now!

[RAFster122s]

CB is City Bike for most of the range until motor sizes started growing

If I was wanting a really nippy commuter, I’d much rather the “Street Sweeper” than a stock CB200.

Looking at the profile of the front and rear tire I bet it would be interesting through corners.

this fits here perfectly, wtf is that even?

[70CB750]

Reminds me of the handicapped bathroom stall 

[Terry in Australia]

That is truly horrible.

The question is what are those handles for?  I usually hold handlebars.

Perhaps it is a stunt bike.  It would be a stable platform.

[scunny]

Are those handles wide enough to hold a slab of beer ?

[RAFster122s]

Hand stand grips? Or when the tank slipper starts you have other things to hold onto?

[Terry in Australia]

That bike is "Badass". It says so, so it must be. I do like the towel rails, a touch of class.....

[grcamna2]

I think those pair of hand rails on the tank are for when you just sent your seat out to be restored;those rails are for having an 'abrasive,jerk' of a person lay down on the frame and 'act as the seat'.. 
You sit on top of the person's back to help cushion some of the bumps in the road:you wouldn't want to ride on just frame rails with no seat,right?  That GW seat looks like it needs(too much foam,imo)some work done to it.
Those hand rails are for the human 'seat' to hang-on to while underway,while the foam seat is in the shop. A section in the rear of the faux fuel tank cover can be removed where the fuel fill cap is,so that the person's head can fit which will allow the human/'seat' to keep an eye on the electrics while underway 

I admit,it's better to have a Real foam motorcycle stock seat;I imagine a person as a 'seat' would get real uncomfortable  

This post might match some of the abominations we've seen on this thread;it could be the 'abominable ones' are the individuals who created some of these machines.. The machines can be fixed,but the ones who built these things?  I'm not too sure about that. 

[70CB750]

Human seats - that's from Moby Dick.  Queequeq's father had them in his house.

Take a nice bike and turn it into a bad dream.

I just spotted this up for auction.

Auction is here is anyone wants to buy it and put it out of it's misery

I’m only looking at it on my phone so maybe it’s worse on a bigger screen, but from what I can see it’s not that horrible apart from that tank?

This is truly an abomination.  I do not recognize the frame from any 1934 Triumph model.  It may have been heavily modified, or it may be from a different brand of motorcycle.  The engine is a 1949-1960.  From 1961 on they had an aluminum cylinder head. 

I sent the link to a buddy that's a Triumph expert, to see what he says.

Seen on FB marketplace for $2500 in Sierra Vista AZ

When I hear people use the old timey term 'motor-sickle' that's what comes to mind.

That reminds me that I need to visit my cuz when I drive down to Bairnsdale to see my Ma next weekend, he’s got a 1922 BSA something or other that he thinks I need more than him. I don’t need any more bikes, but restoring a 101 year old bike might be fun.

[jgger]

It will probably just leak oil like the newer British bikes. But that's how we all if we get that old.
