Cota 233? Mont made a Cota 123, 172, 200, 242, 247, 348, 349, 350, 304, 306, 307, 309, 310, 312 (first with a Honda engine), 315 and a 4RT. But no 223 AFAIK.

Did I miss any Dave?

If you mean a 123 (see pic) be careful. They're a good bike but designed for school boys (as youth trials was then known). They have a ropey gearbox but the real killer is tyres. They are NOT available.

Well that's a new one for me. The clutch cover looks like it's off a 307 or similar. Top end looks like a 200 but must be bored out. I imagine it was a kit. The 200 was a superb bike but, again,the gearbox is delicate. Apart from that it was very good with Nigel Birkett riding it with embarrassing success over Sandifords then #1 rider Malc Rathmell. Birks was told to cease and desist and give his team mate a chance. Biks didn't and was fired.

When Honda first got involved they did some small production runs of some different cc engines. I was 13 at the time so might not be exactly the same but a foreign rider rode something like this in the 1983 ssdt. John Moffat get the programme out !

There are my current levels: a level 200 with 223cc kit and Portús of 330. 223 These were some cucumbers, clutch modificábamos them, we put a carburetor larger, wide triple clamps, swingarm length and a motorcycle was super fun.

sorry this came off a spanish website and googles translation not great

don't know where the cucumber thing came from google translate version of something?

anyway if you do the maths a cota 200 barrel bored to accept a standard 247 piston 72.5mm would give you 222.9 cc this could be good fun as my cota 200 is getting a bit of piston slap watch this space

It appears that the 247 and 200 share the same gudgeon pin height and diameter
