Wow, what a difference in price. In Michigan there is only a $200 dollar price difference. I owned a 2000 250exc and now own a 2001 200exc.

2001 200exc
-Much more nimble due to lighter weight and slightly smaller wheelbase.
-Good low with excellent mid to top. Mid to top is very strong but not out of control. I believe my 200 has more top then the 2000 250. Although I heard the 2001 250 has a stronger top.
-Sprung softer then the 250 but you should be ok for your weight.

2000 250exc
-Huge amount of low end with very strong mid to softer top. You can make mistakes and still not have to abuse the clutch.
-Sprung stiffer then the 200.
-Slightly more stable at speed then the 200.

Xr250
-Very hard to compare to these bikes they are not even in the same league suspension or power wise. If you love your Xr250 it will take sometime to get use to the KTM's. The 200 is more similar if I had to compare them.

I enjoy the 200 more then the 250 and I also believe I am much faster as well. I ride mostly tight trail and occasional head out to the motorcross track to put some practice laps on.
