The engine was an air cooled, vertical two cyinder four-stroke. A 55.5mm bore x 41.0mm stroke yielded a displacement of 198.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied by two carburetors. Valves were operated by a chain-driven single overhead camshaft (ohc).

Drive

The bike has a 5-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the wet plate.

It came with a 2.75-18 front tire and a 3.00-18 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via single disc in the front and a expanding brake in the rear. The front suspension was a telescopic fork while the rear was equipped with a dual shock absorbers. The CB200 was fitted with a 2.91 Gallon (11.00 Liters) fuel tank.
