well for some reason i thought sx only had 4 gears but they both have six. look at the difference in the pipes, i am guessing the sx is set up for more top end.

I could be wrong, but at first glance it looks as though the EXC is aimed more towards trail riding. Curious though why the SX is almost 20lbs lighter?

Ah yes, didn't take the lights into consideration. Those be some heavy bulbs (additional electrical too?).

probably a battery? I don't know. 2-strokes are such an ancient technology of a bygone era I have chosen to quit paying attention to them.

You guys are talking about the 200EXC for some reason. I am talking about the 200XC. The comparison shows that it is very similar to the 200SX and I am curious of the difference.

I'm not sure why you are asking what the differences are, since that comparison shows what the differences are.
I believe the XC has a lighting coil, it does have a larger tank, slightly heavier tires, an 18 inch rear wheel, and the shock doesn't have the high- and low-speed compression adjustment like the SX version.

SX = Moto XC = cross country
There are many differences just to name a few: suspension, wheels/tires, gas tank, pipe, seat, airbox, engine's are ported and timed differently, xc has lighting coil.
One is set up for moto other is set up for woods/cross country

My brother has a 2003 200sx and I have a 2006 200xcw.
The bikes look very similiar. Niether came with lights (prior to 2006 the mxc & exc had lights stock I think). I beleive they both have lighting coils and wiring harnesses.
I beleive the main dif is that the SX suspension is more adjustable and set up stiffer since it is for MX & SX whereas the xcw is for trail.
The XC & XCW came with the 2.9 gal tank, the sx had a 2? gallon. The SX is more of a revver than the xcw, this may be attributed to a different ignition, the 125ish pipe of the sx, and the position of the exhaust valve. The SX also has a 19" rear wheel, the xc /xcw has a 19"rear wheel.

i dont know about the sx having the lighting coil or wiring harness for lights but i know the XC/XCW (at least the 2008) has it because i run lights on mine.
