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

[@bigjay6743]

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

[@jmaxim80]

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.

[@nicholaspatterson9275]

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

[@kiethwester1563]

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 .

[@lateefcarrere1649]

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!

[@phillipwood9833]

Helmet! YAY! Shorts NAY!.. Gravel rash hurts..

[@keithwignall7565]

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

[@patrickhill8748]

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!!

[@SteveHacker]

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! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@TheBallewLife]

Wouldn't know about this channel if it wasn't for Hamiltonville farms!!! Cant wait to see what all u brings us!!! GOD Bless bud!

[@davidp2888]

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

[@SteveHacker]

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! 😊😊😊

[@mikeshakespeare7294]

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

[@robertandersson3877]

Thank you for all the entertainment you give me!

[@patrickbouley9232]

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!

[@LogansRun69]

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

[@Chevelle_addict]

Keep this build going.

[@jenniferwatkins4546]

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

[@vivekm6997]

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.

[@billpar]

you have grown so far since the first videos, you are one of my very favorites to watch , many continued blessings in Jesus name

[@timothykelly5588]

I've still got mine! my first bike! still runs!

[@robertg3070]

I loved this video, please show a complete restore of it

[@pauljarvis1937]

wish you did hour long episodes like Mustie1.. could watch you all day.. Great work and hello from Cornwall UK

[@j2954]

Awesome video my pops and I r working on a buggy rn for my son it’s a “will it run” project...so watching videos like this makes me optimistic about the outcome of it....please make more “will it run” videos thanks

[@nathankveene]

Enjoyed this! I picked up a 70 Honda SL100 a few months ago to learn on. I’m gathering parts for it right now.

[@deltadad68]

Love it. Would like to see a restore.

[@Natures_Intentions]

The will it run videos are awesome. I hope you continue to make them. Great content.

[@BudgetBuildz]

Absolutely will 🙂 we’ve got, oh idk 10 in the line up 😅

[@thomasweatherford5125]

These “will it run” videos are pretty cool. Keep up the great content!

[@The9meister]

Because the bike has sat for so long, the clutch plates are gummed up with old oil, take clutch plates out, and clean them, always fix brakes, good video.

[@jacobnordskog2420]

sweet bike I have the exact same bike except low miles one owner, awesome little bikes and are hard to kill

[@davidpinkham3256]

I'm glad it is working out. One thing, there is no way that wire out of the stator cover grounds at the cover bolt like that - if it were an old BSA maybe. It needs to run inside the sheath to someplace out of the way.

[@lestoncochran6927]

Will it run is an excellent mini series! keep it up. Loved seeing this brief build.

[@andrewfoster3831]

Great video, I have the 125 version of this bike here in the UK. Was very useful as I had some similar issues!

[@davetaylor5501]

Love watching videos like this. That sounds incredible and great to see it brought back to life

[@henocsilva562]

i just got one of these, absolutely love it! thank you for this video

[@stuartkarshagen6274]

Love it man, anything old that people spend time to get running is cool. You have great knowledge of this stuff as well 👍🏻

[@paulmullins4439]

Cool that you got it running great video enjoyed watching keep up the great work

[@mister0ldschool]

these old hondas are great, i love my 500

[@pjdillon7982]

I soldy 80 xl500 last year they don't make torque monsters like that no more, I swear that bike was gunning for my life every time I rode it

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

I had a neighbor that had one when I was young... I have wanted one ever since..

[@ogribiker8535]

That poor little thing has had one hell of a hard life !, love the video (comment on the 'rag' is just so true !!)

[@cedricmilford5254]

I really enjoy these will it run videos 😃 Keep it up 👍🏻

[@topdeckdog]

Cool episode and cool bike! I'm not very mechanically savvy but learn a lot through you. Was good seeing you in your small engine element. Oh yeah and please save that fuel tank!

[@79beans347]

That thing runs good and I don't know many bikes that aren't wore out when they are finally passed on to us because they are so beat on with no maintenance 😂🤣 but free is a really good deal and she runs good I'll give you your money back on it and get it out of your way 😁👍🏻great video and you are a cool funny guy love the humor keep it coming

[@norbertpecheq3427]

I really hope,that his rattling sound in the back ground are not big nest of rattle snakes...Good video as usuall...It´s a Honda...it must run easily even after those long years!!

[@TylerLinner]

I'm not even remotely into motorcycles but this was a good vid. Looks like maybe one or two more episodes worth of finishing things up? Maybe one mechanical, one cosmetic.

[@TheMurcury99]

nice one mike smart little bike. well worked out runs graet

[@r100wyn]

Get it sorted boss, would love too see it finished and restored. Would love to see another run about once it's done too. 👍👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@lewisstallings5485]

Great job! Go ahead and bring it back all the way!😃

[@jeremywimer8842]

Great video as always! Keep on keeping on!

[@davidryan573]

Cool video, those old Honda’s are awesome, seemed to run pretty good for sitting that long.

[@EnglishTurbines]

Nice job....Man, you have some nice weather..I'm jealous.

[@juanmartinrossi2485]

it's a keeper!!! bikes are grate fun, watch out for the kick backs in a xl!!!

[@gregoryfletcher6198]

Cam chain tensioner or cam chain or valves and that motor will run sweet. Great little bikes.

[@hookyjo72]

That's one of my favorite things is the will it run videos. I hope you do Restore it, nice little dirt bike, what ever happened to the Moped? I had a tomos moped years ago and we took the governor off it and it did a whopping 45 Mph lol 😂

[@nickolasclark9238]

I have a 1983 Honda XL 250 that doesn’t have any back brakes. Watching this video, I can see that mine were put on wrong. Also mine is in way worse shape. (Head gasket leaks a decent amount of oil which burns when it’s ridden and smokes like hell when you stop, timing chain is super clacky, front wheel needs attention) you have a decent bike there. I hope to see it more

[@peteramberley9952]

Great video, wish I could go back in time and fix all the bikes I let go cheap or scraped

[@BudgetBuildz]

Thanks! I hear you there!

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

I hope you keep doing videos like this and on this... it would be cool if you did more of these endoro bikes and maybe offer them up to your subscribers... I don't know where you are but I live in Georgia and pretty sure things can get shipped...

[@nickmassey9104]

Hey great videos .I like the features cos it's not a professional set up you do it at a grass routes level which many can appreciate .

[@BigDsRc517]

I have a 1978 Xl 175 that still runs to this day has a top end tick as well. My trail thumper lol.

[@SunsetBeach06]

Nice work-thanks for the inspiration.

[@BudgetBuildz]

Thank you!

[@eovdubsvw8743]

I would like to see it. I finished doing a 1980 Honda XL500S and am working on a 1980 Honda XL250S.

[@henrycollins2478]

Good luck with your’s!

[@glenncrockett4451]

I am also going to be building a 81 XL250, I have a very hopped up 79 XR250 that is going to donate it's engine, I am also going to do a 12v Conversion to it. I love all 78 to 82 4 stroke Hondas, 30yrs building them left me with everything I need to build this one.

[@peteramberley9952]

I had both them bikes in 1981 single cylinder twin port

[@JoshRex7ven]

That's awesome! I finished a complete rebuild and restore of a 78 xl250s not too long ago as well

[@davehoneycutt9558]

go for it lets see you bring it back to life

[@haydenuk02]

It sounds great and keep up the hard work and thanks for the content stay safe and take care

[@samjoentess9168]

Thats one Sweet sounding engine!! You were a bit wheezy after kicking the bike over though😀😃

[@bellowsjeep3999]

Love this video! Would really like to see more like this too!

[@TheSwissCheese87]

Free? That would be awesome. In Missouri they have sentimental value for everything! They would list that for $1500, ran when it was parked. Could use a tune up. Firm!

[@yourselfdotcomlol]

Cleaning out the fuel system is item #1 on these builds

[@shaun8309]

Man, that is the first time I see a guy try to kickstart a bike from that angle. 🤔😆

[@chrishorst6993]

Those were fun bikes. Not powerhouses but enough to be a blast

[@leedavies9309]

top job thats like my first bike hours of fun brings back some great memories

[@martincunnington2154]

Love these videos mate keep them coming

[@delboytrotter8806]

Yes you can ! Next project!

[@lrob2088]

Great video, be good to see you restore it.

[@guskelman3058]

That things sweet for a free bike

[@davidzimmer2694]

Almost my dream bike. Yamaha dt 1973/74 something like that. Enduro. Good video

[@LandonCarter-s8j]

I have one of those up at my parents property, it was ruined by some a hole, and has been sitting in the garage since. It is repairable but we have to take the entire engine apart

[@kennyrichard2971]

Sounds good Honda’s are tough bikes

[@mikemartin2423]

Love the will it runs vids 👍 hope you at least do a partial restore on it

[@Oyvind88]

Old school honda bike, love it😀👍 Little work and its good as new😀😀

[@davidbates247]

Great video bringing thing back to life that's what it's all about 😜

[@motomatt6099]

Good job fella

[@chrisloake1453]

Great video. Good job👍

[@StevenBuchanan]

Thanks for another great video!

[@shartne]

cool bike. Nice fix.

[@stevieb1367]

Nice video & good job!

[@jeremymarra8862]

You can literally hear this guy laughing while kicking the bike over completely backwards, good effort 🤣🤣

[@finishinglapis608]

My brother has one just like this but it was one that was raced a lot, but when we got it, it wasn't in good shape, but one day we worked on it and it ran for a good little while, but sadly I've never gotten to ride it, I also have a racing three wheeler, but it's in terrible shape.

[@stromgards]

Thanks for the interesting videos! Keep up the good work..😊👍

[@79beans347]

That's a cool bike and man you are freaking hilarious keep it up I love the humor 👍🏼👌🏼😂🤣😂

[@juanmauricioneira7864]

Nice bike !! Thanks !

[@leemilica]

How do you find free dirtbikes and i over here cannot buy a frame with wheels for under €200

[@harrisonsmetana2506]

Yeah it is even worse in New York you can’t get an engine for under $300 because everyone thinks that anything old is “rare”

[@bubbie3533]

Great content 👍

Hi guys new follower , from Hank!

[@shanewright6958]

Great job and video 👍👍🇨🇱

[@OnkelPHMagee]

Is the Beetle in the background a new acquisition? The boss is RIGHT about the helmet.

[@SpawnyWhippet]

I'd like to see a full tear down and restoration!

[@dundeemink3847]

The "ground wire" looks a lot like the in neutral light switch wire.
