Passed my test on it and we all have to start somewhere! I actually had two CB200s. They were OK except for THAT BRAKE! I came close to fitting the front end off the previous CB175 as its drum brake was more reliable. As for the SR500, most disappointing bike I ever owned. Bought new, it never delivered on its promises - was underdeveloped, poorly built, dreadful handling when loaded, and never seemed 'right'. Lost a fortune on it when I came to sell.Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08561928102855867969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179571938485917453.post-72469224809402348092017-03-16T11:33:01.402-07:002017-03-16T11:33:01.402-07:00Yes, memories.
