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[edit | edit source]

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

Chassis[edit | edit source]

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.

Also, it has been fitted with features such as laced wheels, a dual seat, a front disc brake coupled to a rear drum brake, wide handlebars, analogue instrumentation dials, a large, round headlight, a chromed, dual exhaust system, a blacked-out, steel frame, a telescopic front fork and dual shock absorbers as a rear suspension.
