This would make a nice little retro 170+cc playbike. The Fox leading link fork would be a perfect match for the CT200U. These are my thoughts so far.

I will admit i needed to do a google search on the Fox. Def an interesting looking bike. After giving it some thought of how it would look with newer forks...Kinda gives ideas for similar build. But using forks and rear suspension from an older bike but powering it with a single cyl horizontal shaft motor.
