Has anyone tried to build one. Take a 250r rolling chassis and puta cr125 motor in it and bore the motor close as you can get it> OR put a a 125 top end on the 250r bottom end> I was just wondering if any body has tried this.

Honda also made a few "works" 200R's for their factory team. they caused quite a stir. Selvy offered a complete sleeve down 200R.

I talked to a guy a while back who ran CR125 Powered 200X. That seems to me like the one to build.

So is the 200r in a 250r frame or 200x

The 200R was in the 250R frame....the 250R motor was resleved to make it a 200 instead of a 250.

Not the Honda factory version...

Actually there is some debate among whether the "Honda Works" bike had 200x or 250R based frame geometry. The motor was most definetly from the Honda MTX200 dual sport 2 stroke dirtbike sold popularly in Europe.

Look through the old magazine articles on 3wheelerworld.com , you'll find they made a 200x version and a 250r version. the R version looks almost identical to a 250r except the huge air scoops, motor, rear fenders, and the rear sprocket looks like its mounted in the middle of the swing arm. Thats what I gathered from the pictures.

ive thought alot about taking the 200x frame i have and putting a 125 engine in it. but i dont know how easy it would be. the radiator would be a problem also the exhaust comes out right where the frame is. what do you all think the power would be for that??
