Been searching for parts for a 1981 CM200. How closely related (other than cosmetics which differ greatly and thus not related/similar) are these two bikes similar?
Looks to be the same engine? I know some models of the CD200 (Benly) do not have electric start, other than that I'm clueless. Any help?

Using CMSNL.com I just compared the two cylinder heads and they both seem to use the same head. How many other parts are interchangeable? I don't know, but you can compare part numbers on that site for the two models.

My understanding is that the engines are pretty much the same, part number comparison will tell the truth there. CD's never made it to North America so it's CMSNL for that stuff.
