The model introduced in South Africa and Pakistan was known as the CD 200 "Road Master”. It was a detuned version of the Honda [[CD185 twin]]. The CD 200 sold more for its looks then performance as its square [[speedometer]], huge front and rear [[mudguards]], twin chrome exhausts, neatly tucked in choke behind handle bars and a chrome plated [[fuel tank]] with the [[Honda]] logo contributed to an interesting styling. | ||
The bike was a cheap commuter vehicle with a claimed 100 [[miles]] (160 [[km]]) per gallon and a smooth ride. Too slow for a 200 [[Cubic centimetre|cm³]] bike, its top speed was only 70 [[mph]] (112 [[km/h]]) as the [[engine]] was detuned to keep maintenance cost to a minimum. This [[Motorcycle|bike]] targeted users who wanted a comfortable cheap transport suitable for long routes with low maintenance. Use of simple drum breaks in rear and front and a single carburetor were other measures used to keep the maintenance low. The [[motorbike|bike]] accelerated hard up to 65 [[mph]] (105 [[km/h]]); after that it was a flat ride. The [[engine]] had to be revved very hard to create any kind of excitement as the [[motorcycle|bike]] was too heavy (140 [[kg]]) for an [[engine]] that produced a modest 16 [[bhp]]. | The bike was a cheap commuter vehicle with a claimed 100 [[miles]] (160 [[km]]) per gallon and a smooth ride.

In the UK the CD200 was affected by legislation restricting learner riders to bikes limited to 125 [[Cubic centimetre|cm³]] and 12bhp. Honda introduced a 125 [[Cubic centimetre|cm³]] Benly after the CD200 was withdrawn.The CD 200 Road Master was sold in South Africa until late 2004 and was used mainly as a courier/delivery bike.It retained the 6 volt electrics and points ignition. | ||
