Free Honda XL200r Dirt Bike: Can we get it running after 15+ Years

We got this 1983 XL200r for free! Can we get it to fire off and run after 15+ years? Yes, the tires look brand new and were new when installed on the bike in 2004...they've had 0 miles put on them.

It's always a good feeling when you get something that is broken running again but even more so when it's yours...

its a beautiful old Honda that deserves to be restored. they don't built things like they used to and their is a huge collectors market for those old bikes.

Reminds me of the days when you, Brian, Jon and me were playing with those bike Brian kept buying. Love the videos bud.

It's good to see old things fixed not just scraped . It took a little bit of time and money to get it going but it was more fun fixing and drive what once was broken but you can enjoy again .

Glad to see you wear a helmet - serious brain injury or not(& I'm not making light of this at all) thank you for wearing one. I appreciate learning about these dirt bikes...don't know if I'll ever own one, but if it's got an engine & wheels, I want to figure it out or learn from someone that's worked on them before. Peace out!

You're the champion of ordinary blokes who like stuff! Thanks.

Love it! Great job explaining all you're doing and why to troubleshoot the problems. Very helpful and educational, can't wait for the next one!!

YYYESSS!!! More bikes, and more on this one! Other people complaining about the Porsche; there’s nothing wrong with doing this also! I love the Porsche project as much as anyone else, but I say THE MORE, THE MERRIER! Heck, I say keep a bike project going at all times WHILE you’ve got the car projects going simultaneously! Bravo! Keep up the great work and great content! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I appreciate your "long form" videos like this. You're thorough and they're easy to follow. Great stuff.

I have 14 bikes and really appreciate videos like this. Most of mine run, but some are restoration projects like this. I have a very similar bike to this; a 1980 XL125, that I’m hopeful about getting running, a SSSTRONG running XR200, and an XR80 that has an identical electrical problem to this, so this video probably got me over the hump. Thanks! 😊😊😊

I've been waiting for this, having seen the bike in the 911 videos. Great work. Thoroughly enjoyable. Well done.

[robertandersson]

Thank you for all the entertainment you give me!

[patrickbouley]

Hello, I appreciate the video! I have a 1978 Honda Hawk that I'm in the process of getting running. Keep up the good work!

[ProjectTimeGarage]

Nice save. Those things are built to last. I've had dozens of old Hondas, Kawasakis, Suzukis, Yamahas even a Hodaka over the years. Nice video!

[LogansRun]

Man, talk about right place at the right time to score a freebie like that! Even if it doesn't run, someone is looking for those parts

[jenniferwatkins]

It's good to hear a bike run after its been awhile

[broodnoot]

My Honda Camino stood still for 20 years and it just works! :D

[vivekm]

Picked one up for $83 and sold if for 800. It was my first bike and it was a dream. Super easy to work on and they are a blast to ride.
