250r short track tank

[gus]

[QUOTE=Buster Brown;1117371]Lots of confusion here it seems.
Steve Wright rode for Team Honda. His factory 200R was a one of a few Honda race "TEAM" bikes. It used many different parts from a 250R, 200X, and most importantly a Honda MTX 200 dirt bike engine. The MTX 200 engine was harvested from the MTX 200 enduro (dirt/street) bike from over seas (not offered in the US). The MTX 200 engine was/is a liquid cooled 2 stroke factory Honda engine. A Selvy 200R (like I have) is a ATC 250R engine destroked to 200cc for privateer use (anyone not affiliated with Team Honda). Selvy milled the 250 cylinder down about a half inch from the top, but kept the stock bore. Then destroked the crank and a host of other mods to obtain a true 200cc from the 250R powerplant.
As for these shrouds I've been in contact with the seller who has been told by several other inquisitive parties that his shrouds are probably Team Honda factory "WORKS" one off 200R shrouds. You be the judge with the photos below. To me, they are CT aftermarket shrouds offered in red or white. Looks as though the sellers pair came white, but someone painted them as he stated. Pretty darn rare to say the least, but not Team Honda 200R issue.
I am curious to what some of the others (whom have messaged this seller) make of these photos. Mike from VMS what do you make of these shrouds? The first pic shows the left side CT shroud (in original white) in the lower left corner. The third pic is from a CT ad in 3&4 Wheel Action, cost then $19.95. The last picture is of another CT sponsored bike. You can't see the shrouds at all really in this photo, but you can tell the right side (rider's right) shroud is long and low slung, more so than a typical Hondaline s/t shroud. Please someone educate me/us. I don't claim to be an expert, but would love to know more. Sorry if I'm barking up the wrong tree, Mike (VMS). The seller just mentioned you in a reply to me. Thanks!

Mystery solved!!!! I recently spent WAAAYYYY too much money on paper{ Mags,brochures} And have been voraciously enjoying EVERY second of rereading my bibles : ).. Anyhow,,,,, What I have here are ......drum roll please.... Phase five Racing shrouds ! I was admittedly a little too young to pay close enough attention,and Dad was No way in Hell allowing me to race back then. But I Never knew they made them period. If ANYONE ,ANYWHERE, knows anyone who has any of these,please post up! My comp is down till next week,so just checking in when I can. I will take a pic of the old ad when I can : )And post her up.

Just wanted to clear up all of this hogwash. Some peoples egos are much bigger than their bank accounts and knowledge base. Please read page 13 and 14 about the true origin of the famed 200R's.
