depends what kind of 450 motor it is? i tried to get a cb350 honda engine to fit in my 83200x and had to literaly cut the frame into 2 pieces and make it bolt to each sid eof the motor nfd have a removeable conecting piece top and both bottom frame rails. buit the project was a loss doe to lack of time and intrest.

yeah what is this engine????? after that like they said, cut the frame and it may be trickey to get the plasticts to fit after that......it's not like you just drop an engine in, kick it over and go you know......

might be easier to find a two stroke motor thats similar in dimensions to the 200x motor if you are looking for more power/speed.

its a 1982 honda motorcycle engine. 4 stroke and eletric start and 2 cylinder.

2 cylinder will make it harder to fit for one, and the height of the motor will make it difficult to fit. exhaust routing will be fun, youd have to go 2 into 1 exhaust, if the chain drive is on the wrong side you will have some more fun there, and as stated above, getting the tank and plastics to fit right if you do have to modify the frame.

Too much work to make a machine that is a lot heavier. I'm sure you could make it work but making it work well would be a different story.
