Oh yes, they did indeed. I had a very nice '83 XL200R a few years back.




If I'd have know then about the interchangability of the CG250 motors, I would have never gotten rid of it! Wish I had it now, I'd have a nice Zongshen 250 with it's e-start and 12-volts in it in a heartbeat!

For a few years (84 and 85), Honda also made an XR200R which included the 4-valve RFVC head and the dual-carb set-up. It wasn't a great hit, using much more complexity than a 200cc playbike demanded, and it went away.
