Honda CB223S
CB series model sold from 2008 to 2016. Looking at the clubman ’s origins, it ’s like “isn’t this Honda GB Like Honda GB250 Clubman?”, But it ’s a so-called “similar motorcycle”.
The engine is that of the same manufacturer's off-road bike SL230, and the wheels are 18-inch spokes before and after the trail bike FTR, but the frame, suspension, and tires are specially designed neo-retro bike.
This CB223S, which continued to decorate the lineup with repeated minor changes for about 9 years, can only be seen as a classic model such as a round fuel tank and a simple design seat, but it is a modern suitable for modern road conditions The place where thick road tires are used is where the definition of the classic is different. It can be said that the essence of a trail bike is somewhere.

Honda CB223S Overview
If you look at the coloring, it is completely conscious of the classic style, such as the one of the monochromatic & HONDA logo and the design taken from the old model. The CB223S is a bike that fits the category “Neo-Retro” of Honda and has a new style with support for running, while the style is based on classics. There is no doubt that it is a street model where you can enjoy a little riding.
CB223S in the second-hand market is still a new face, so the price of the late model has not dropped much. The reason for this is that the mileage is very small, and the popularity of the late model (being an improved model with repeated upgrades) is the reason, but it can also be said that it is equal reliability.
Although it is a carburetor model, the CB223S is a model that enjoys the beating feeling unique to a single engine by incorporating an exhaust gas reburning mechanism called “air injection”. If there is a Tama (used car) in the nearest store, I would like to check the torque by starting the engine.
