[QUOTE="DougRoost, post: 676792, member: 23019"] The 200 M/XC became kind of redundant with the SX. It was an E/XC with the close ratio tranny for MX but still the same engine and suspension. The SX is a better track bike since it's purpose designed for that (ported for top end, bigger carb, stiffer suspension, 19" rear wheel, no spark arrestor, etc.). It's truly got a power/weight ratio of a 250, just packaged in a 125 chassis. The E/XC actually has a wide ratio tranny (just as the WRF Yamaha's do compared to YZFs). This means you get a lower first gear for really technical stuff but a wider spread between and a higher top gear. It's a much more flexible gearbox for woods work. You can make either one work but it will probably cost more to tame the SX for the woods than to make the E/XC work on the track. You need to determine how much of your time will be spent on woods vs. track and how aggressive a bike you want. From the sounds of your concerns about a pure MX bike being too scary, I'd get the E/XC and have fun. [/QUOTE]
