That depends on what you wanted to do with it. The frame is quite close to the '81-'83 XR200 (not the R version), but your motor would bolt into the XR frame, regardless of year, except '84-'85. Those were the dreaded twin cam models.

You might be able to swap the white frame swingarm and suspension over to the Hibird frame. I would keep your existing front suspension, because the XR has a drum in the front. The seat and tank could also be made to fit with a little fab work. From there, panels and fenders, and you have an XR200 clone with a Hibird motor and frame.
