Long awaited 200R pics on the way!!!!!!

[Mike Fort Laud]

I took a ton of pics of the 200R and the 200X race bike the pics are in the photo shop and I will pick them up tomorrow and send them to Billy so he canputthem on the site. It is an '85 so you know how the '85 bikes say 250R on the seat. This one has an original Honda 200R blue seat cover. Oh Yea can you say rare. So hold on till tomorrow. Like I said the bikes are how I found them. Not washed or anything. I wanted to show you some "AFTER" pics but you will see the before restored versions.

Nice just when you think you have seen most all of the rare trikes, something like this comes along. Sweet....truely sweet.

Is this a 200x or 250r framed 200r? Is the rear sprocket and rear disk in the middle of the swing arm instead of on the outside?

Looking forward to seeing them Mike.

To answer the question, it is an '85 250R that has the flattrack tank kit and the cylinder is cut down in height to decrease the cylinders area. The bore is the same as a 250R,but because of a shorter stroke crank and now shorter cylinder it is only 200cc. The other way,(and easier way) to do it is to just have the cylinder sleeved down to make it 200cc. But big bore and a short stroke revs faster and is better than a smaller bore and a long stroke. The chain runs down the left side not center. But I don't know how it has a blue 200R seat that says Honda across the back. I still have a lot of questions for this guy. I have to go to work now to meet a guy,then a Fishing awards banquet for a Dolphin Tournament at 2:00 then get the pictures, then I want to go ride my 250R before dark. I took the front tire and rim off the 200R because i am waiting for rims I bought on ebay. And with all this 3 wheeler talk, I need to go blow mine out and take a picture of that '87 250SX. I will send pics tonight

Yeah, bigger bore, and shorter stroke is a lot better n a 2 stroke. Smaller bore makes a tad bit torquier motor, but doesn't rev. This is how most of the Kawasaki Trail 2 strokes are. I though that Honda went the smaller bore route though? Also, is the rear brake on the outside on the swingarm?
