I don't think those are really prototype trikes. Alot of people ran aftermarket frames and different engines, especially in some of the pro or open classes. Companies like Nicholson, IIID, and several other makers as well. Some places ran 200cc classes, and pretty much all those machines were custom or handbuilt from one end to the other. There were no factory production 200cc 2 stroke machines. Some of those were sleeved down 250s, and the honda factory "works" trikes, were the european 200cc 2 stroke street bike engines. I think those were called the vmx 200 or something like that.
