When I was in high school my mother gave me her Twinstar. It was my daily rider. Had 45,000km when the speedometer/odometer stopped working and I continued to ride it like that for a few years then my mother sold it. I looked just like this one. We changed the bars and put a cheap windshield on it. I later changed the exhaust when the engine was rebuilt and the stock exhaust rotted away and it sounded great. It was a very good well balanced first bike although I did out grow it fairly quickly. I broke a connecting rod at 120km so it isn't fast but I still think the Twinstar is a good classic alternative to something like a new Rebel 300 which I have owned and didn't like. Honda of Thailand cost cutting on the new bikes is the reason I now own a Kawasaki Vulcan S. The Vulcan S rides like a classic Honda. Thanks for the memories.
I have an 82 with 5500 miles. Mine has a little rust from being a commuter for a few years. I'm 6'1" 250 lbs and I still have a blast on my little Twinstar
Like you, I rode Hondas, from 1965 to 2012, 50cc, 90, 350, and a gorgeous 1981 CM400C new until 2012. Sold that and bought a 2004 Vulcan 800 Classic (10k miles now) and a 2007 Yamaha XT225 (8k mi now). Getting old now, so don't ride as much, but still love it when I do, and in my mid-70s, can still wheelie the 225 and do some dirt.
I had the exact same bike when I was a 16 - 18 years old. Absolutely loved it. I wish I still had it but I had no where to store it when I went to college, so I had to give it up. It was a blast to drive. It was surprisingly peppy and I was able to pop wheelies with no problem.
This one was amazing, goals it brought back some memories. we have a couple small CC bikes coming that are Survivors, Subscribe to see when they go on Your tube.
I had one exactly like this in 2002. It was my first bike, and I got my license to drive it at 14. I don’t know if a 14 year old can still get a license for a bike 250cc’s and under.. I’m surprised they allow/allowed it, bc looking back at my 14 year old self.. k was just a baby!
I found one of these at a great price and plan to buy it today. This should be easier to ride than my 1100 Goldwing. lol The only concern I have is it being too short for my 6'3" human stature. How is it to ride for a taller person like us?
I had an 81 but it wasn't anywhere near that condition. Put longer shocks and forks, different handlebar and knobby tires and it was my main enduro for years. Rode a lot of miles on trails on that bike
I had exact same bike with over 20000 miles and it ran perfect but it started a slow leak at the crankcase where the engine splits so instead of fixing it I sold her :(
Hi, I am in Salem, Oregon. The bike is going to be auctioned off very soon, NO RESERVE, here is a link, it should start in a few days. www.denwerks.com/liveauctions
That's sweet. I'm in the Pacific NW myself. I did a few updates to my twinstar, since it wasn't close to that mint. Someone added a sissy bar and there is surface rust. So I took that off, switched to vintage 80's dirt bike handle bars, bullet turn signals and did the L.E.D. upgrades. Switched to some new style reservoir struts to handle my weight better. Also made a custom headlight guard. Love that little guy!
This was my first bike. Slow, but awesome. No such thing as a bad Honda. Thanks for the vid.
Ive got one of these owned by someone who loved it, at 89,000 miles. These things are immortal
I had one and it wouldn't break unless you beat it with a bat. 60mph max under optimal conditions, but a small handful of coins would fill the tank.
Beautiful Bike. We had the 185cc model here. I love the Honda twin-cylinder machines.

I have a 1978 and I love it ❤️
Back when I started to ride that was my dream bike. My brother taught me on his 1980 Honda CB125S.
My first bike was a blue 79 TwinStar 180 cc I loved it great little bikes I was 14 and took it everywhere they’re even fun off-road
I had a 1979 185 TwinStar. Great learner bike.
I have the same BIKE! 1981 Twinstar CM200T mint! Same color, great shape, all original parts! Ride it everyday! Wish I could show you a picture!
I had one in 1987. Loved it.

Really like how clean this is I actually recently got one of these myself and don't know very much about them.
Could have brought that beauty out so we could see the other side too. Great video!

This was my first motorcycle ... except that mine was blue.
I just bought a blue one yesterday with 1,060 miles on it
