I have a CD 175 bike that I want to restore. My main concern is that I don't like its engine because it makes a lot of noise. Restoring this engine is also challenging due to the unavailability of parts, and it uses a point system and 6-volt electrical system. I've heard from many people that the CD 175 is not suitable as a daily driven bike.
Therefore, I want to change the engine. I have a few engines on my wish list, but I need guidance regarding this project:
CD 200 engine
Rebel CB250 engine
I am open to other suggestions as well.
My requirements are:
Dual silencer option
Availability of parts
12-volt electrical system
Easy to fit
Reliable
Not less than 200cc
