I have a chance to buy a '00 200 EXC but I want to know what the major differences are between say the '00 and the '03.
My friend has an '03 that I have ridden so I can use it as a reference point.
on the exc model you wouldnt notice a difference i wouldnt say an 03 handles a lot better i would say if both stock an 03 handles a little better, not anything the rider couldnt make up
the 03 has a little better suspension but not much and also a little differant
riding position which the 03 tank and seat on the 00 will make it the same
but my dealer says (which is a pro racer) not enought differance between the
two of them to be worth putting the 03 parts on the older bikes
I owned an '01 200 EXC and have ridden a '00 200 EXC and found very little difference between. I recently purchase an '03 200 MXC and the main difference I see is the motor. The '03 seems to have WAY more motor than the '00 or '01. I have also ridden an '04 and it's motor is equal or better than the '03. The '04 suspension is the best I have ridden out of the box.
