Is a coil just a coil?

Hi,

Have had aq quick search, but if I was to have a new ignition coil, would I need one specific to my bike? Or do they all do the same thing? For example would one work off a CR or something?

It doesn't need to be specific to the bike, but the specs of the coil need to be close to the original.

OK cheers, I wouldn't have thought there was that much to them that makes them specific. So would a CR250 coil run the same on my AR?
