Can i take a cdi out of one motorbike and put it straight into another one?
I think this would work only if the two bikes are identical models.
even two different model bikes that are based on the same engine are tuned differently, and therefore the CDI would be different between them.

The general answer is no, because CDI does the ignition timing and this is specific per engine. It is more so with sophisticated engines in which the ignition timing changes with RPM.
There are exceptions to this rule and sometimes you can do modifications to a CDI so that a CDI that was designed for one engine will work on another, but you must investigate the specific case.
