There were several companies that would destroke or debore your motor to make it a 200cc 2 stroke. Klemm Research, JP Racing, and Selvy's to name a few. Here are a couple of articles for you to read.

I have actually ridden a 200cc Tecate back in the late 80's, and it was really hard to tell the difference between it and a 250cc Tecate.
