The CB 200 is a light two-cylinder motorcycle from Honda , Japan, with 13 kW (17 hp) power, built in the mid- 1970s .

A special feature of this motorcycle is the actuation of the front disc brake purely mechanically by Bowden cable , ie without the hydraulic brake force transmission that is normally found. The motorcycle can also be started with an electric or kick starter. In "their" time, the CB 200 was a popular driving school machine due to its handiness. Today it is a very rare motorcycle oldie.

The frame of the CB200 was used in a modified form for the Honda CX350. The Honda CX 500 was later to emerge from this prototype .
