smelling123 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Cota 200 - are they any good?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke4stroke Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 You don't see too many in use now but I always wanted one at the time as they were fairly successful. Nigel Birkett had a very good British Championship season on one and Brian Hutchinson always seemed to be winning on his. No doubt you'll be able to track one down via this site.

woody Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Yes, torquey little motor, more than enough for modern easy route or any classic event. Nimble chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motovintage Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 The 123 and 200 are very light, they came right at 173 lbs. The rims and spokes are weak, they benifit greatly from a carburetor upgrade. Fun bikes, easy to ride, almost light as a modern bike, add quality shocks and well tuned forks, its a winner.

nigel dabster Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Not much better than anything else really, with the disadvantage of a small motor. Hutch and birks were exceptional riders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldilocks Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 at the time the 156 fantic was slightly better but not much in it. Both good bikes especially in northern trials where power was less of an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
