Hello got an offer for a FREE old N reg CB200 - xxx xxxN reg

is it worth its weight in metal? (apparently in working condition)

compare it to
This CB200

which is 5 years newer than the one in question.

edit: Gosh, I must learn how to do the fancy Click Here thing.

Thanks Strag!

It depends what it needs. If you could get it through it's mot for less than £50, do it. Then clean it up the best you can and stick it on ebay. Pretty much any bike with an mot is worth 250 spoons.

A running motorcycle for free, you can't go wrong really. You'd flog it for £50 in your local free ads paper as a field bike if you decided you didn't want it.

Good little bikes. Used one as my first despatch bike.

David Silver does incredible cheap spares for them.

Even if you change the name on the V5, then SORN it, shove it in the garage as either an emergency bike (you will always have all you're bikes off the road at once-ask Colin1), or a hack.
