Best engine to use in an 83 185 frame that cost me $45??

Hey guys, what are my options here. I found a complete rolling 83 ATC 185 thats missing only one thing... an engine. But hey, for 45 bucks? No carb, airbox or wiring either. Pretty much everything else is there. Good tires, seat, plastic, lights, brakes etc, etc. I was thinking a 200x motor might be kind of fun with the manaul clutch and all... I am open to ideas............... ??????

A 200x engine would be great in your new trike but they usually are a little more expensive then the regular 185 and 200 engines. You could also look into getting one of those new Chinese engines; I think they come with wiring and all that.

Way ahead of you, I took a look at the motor in my VMax and......... nah, 185 to 1200cc might be a bit much. Not to mention about 130 horses too much... :beer

Yup, spin them tires right off the beads. What about a 200S motor? any objections to pull start & auto clutch?
