So, I won't bore you with all the details, but I thought I scored a Hondamatic, just to have as a toy, maybe help my daughters and my wife learn to ride... blah blah blah. The guy brought it over to my house to drop it of and rolls this thing onto my driveway....

The pull start was in pieces, "I can't get this back together, I'll drop the price $50 if you still want it" he guaranteed me it ran, so eh I bought it. there was a Cerclip and the ratchet springs were missing, so I fixed it and within 15 minutes of the dude driving off I was tearing down the driveway and around the neighborhood. Actually it's fun to ride, it travels at a pretty good speed and handles beautifully.

After a little research I now know that what I have is a Kawasaki KZ305 chassis and an ATC200 motor, the headlight and tail light work, so I am hoping I can rig up blinkers and fix the brake light so I can get it registered and plated.

My oldest daughter and I are thinking maybe a cream white paint job, with a splash of color over pin striping, but we'll see. For what I paid, I could probably sell the back tire and recoup my money, so all in all, I am happy with this one.
