Not the same engine as the CD200 though, the CB200 was an onward development of the CD/CB175 range with the clutch mech and oil filler moved and linkless camchain, same engine mountings and very similar frame to the 175s. Nippy enough but uber-fragile top end if given too much welly, don't know if they could manage the heady 10,000rpm redline of the CB175!
My 175 project has the 'hot' CB items and hopefully will be a great little performer when she's finished 8-)

Ex-Hampshire Plod, apparently. The seat looks different from the one in the OP though, maybe the stuff I read about it being police spec was wrong?
