72.5x55.7...230cc
ZS172MM (GS250) 67x55.7.…196cc ZS167FML (ZS200GY) Looks like the GS250 could very likely be a bored out version of the Yamaha engine? |

I think the 230cc threw everyone into guessing it was a Honda based design…but something always troubled me on that it looks nothing like a Honda engine.
It could be a modified version of the engine on the dual sport bike…a lot of modifications that may all be cosmetic? I think they look real good but seem big for the engine power, but I bet you could have some fun with it… |

Brother Bill, if you don't want that motorcycle, and/or you decide to sell it later, I want first dibs on it! Spud

People are comparing that bike to ninja all over the internet and in fact they should be comparing it to a TW200 and it mechanical compatibility…. They just increased in value!
