I have a 200 elite, and I think it's accurate to say that the 175 is the rarer of the two - probably considerably rarer - and is accordingly more collectible and valuable. The 200 elite was one of the first bevel singles to achieve some sales success in the US, and I believe a good number of them was sold here. Accordingly, there are more surviving 200's and parts are probably a little bit easier to find than the 175's. With that said, I don't think I would characterize the 200 as being easy to find or to find parts for - they didn't crank them out like Honda 305's or anything! In terms of how the 175 and 200 compare aesthetically, I think they are both stunningly beautiful little motorcycles. Same jellymold tank, double silencers, etc. Unless you play in the rarified atmosphere of having the rarest and most valuable of the breed for your collection, whether it's a 175 or a 200 doesn't much matter. If you happen to need parts for a 200 (most of which are probably the same as the 175), let me know. I have a few things. Sean
