got the motor blown up for cheap, put about 600 into for parts, coeshow 66mm piston kit, all honda gaskits, timing chain and tensioner, vlave seals and 3 angle valve job, this winter im gonna get a coeshow cam and spring kit. mike coe makes the best performance parts for these little motors even a 251 big bore with close to 30whp!! you can check his site out at www.coeshow.com

You are the man! But we need more info. More build pictures. More technical data. At least tell us how fast it feels. I am pretty excited to know the 200x can really be improved like this in the motor dept.. And yes, roundabout cost, many people will be so interested. Great job.
83' 200x (son's). 85' 200 auto-x & 85' 125m (daughters). 84' Tecate(?). 85' KXT Tecate (mine!, mine!, mine!.)+ some others but don't feel like typing them in.

ha to be honest i have never driven a stock 200x, all sport trikes are rare to come across in canada really so i built this, i driven lots of bikes tho and i no it can stay with a 400ex. its pretty quick. if u can get a motor for cheap go for it, motor bolts right in using stock mounts, some mods need to be done to the spacers in the back mount, just grinded down, the top mount will need to redrilled since the 230 has a longer stroke and the motor is about 6mm higher then the 200x. 400ex battery box is cheap on ebay. so are 230 harnesses, cdi boxes, regulators and solenoids,

awesome! been waiting to see some pics of one. It would be nice to have one of these in a 200x,can still get all honda parts(and they will deal with you because they think its a dirtbike),plus the aftermarket for them is there.
very cool

Nice job. When I read the title of the thread I thought it was gonna be a quadrunner 230 engine. I almost threw up in my mouth a little bit. *whew*

Nice job! It's about time somebody finally did this swap. Those 230s are very abundant down here in the desert. I've always wanted to build a first gen 200x with a crf 230 in it. That would be the perfect trike for my wife.

110-120? uh...your talking KM/hr, right? in MPH, Your reaching for the sky on that one. in KPH, thats about 60-70, which is definitely plausible.
if you make it past 70MPH, i would be shocked. they barely do 70 in mildly modded bike form. now you've got a lot of extra weight with the trike frame......it will surely be faster than a 200X, and with the E-start, its titties! i bet its a awesome ride, and it will be a solid motor (it isnt a high strung hand grenade). but it simply isnt going to go real fast top speed. sure, you could gear it up to theoretically go that fast, but the motor will never pull it.
Cool build BTW!
