A Honda c200 dream aka "baby dream" followed me home today . Anyways Does anyone here familiar with these? Specifically I'm trying to decode the vin to find the year.thanks for the help

I had a '66, but I can't help with the vin. I do still have the Honda manual.

We have one! Bought it for $50, gonna ride it for 24 hours in May.


I've been using this parts diagram. Says it's for a CA200 but I'm pretty sure that was just the next year's version. Should be really close at least. We're replacing our motor with a 125cc Lifan, and using the wheels off a CT90. Does your motor turn over?

Awesome. From what I've heard that blue is kinda rare I think a Canadian model but I'm new to these bikes. Yep it turns over and has good compression. But missing side covers , headlight, kickstand and missing the key. And obviously the seat is wasted. I can't figure out what year it is some were between 64-66. I have allways had a soft spot for these little bikes .

Pretty sure the blue is just rattle can.. Pretty sure it was originally black. You can get a new seat on eBay from Thailand, and it's about $45 + 65 shipping. The headlight is an odd size but they're on eBay as well, or from dratv.com.
