I've ridden/owned both..
'90 200 piped,jetting to match.
Nice all round bike. Nice bottom end,,,,hard hitting mid and a great top end.
The front fork springs where change from stock prior to my purchase so I can't say what the stock suspension was like.
It was however,,,too stiff for my weight and riding style.....well,,,if I had a style that is... :confused:

01 220 in stock form.
Amazing bottom end . A really nice smooth transistion to the mid......top end was very dissappointing.
Stock suspenison was better than the 200s even before it was dialed in.
Installing a rev pipe,jetting,setting the race sag and dialing in the stock front suspension( as best as possible for what it is).. made a huge ,,,huge difference.
Gobbles up the whoops,,,,climbs trees and tears down the opens sections..
With the rev pipe you will lose some bottom end over stock but the mid and top end improvements are well worth the money spent.
I have just installed a torque ring and will continue jetting once I remove the air box lid..
These mods should help regain some of the lost bottom end.
Enjoy and best of luck.
