I guess I must give a differing opinion. I feel the old tech XR200R is a dinosaur. It has really small flexy forks. It has very limited suspension and does not perform well in whoops. In addition the engines tend to wear out camchains over time. The engines are very low and mellow on power and that is nice for trails. The bike is very light and easy to handle. Just do not try to motocross it as you will be at the very end of the pack.

the XR200 is not designed to MX, yes you will kill it if you try. yes it is an older design, but BULLETPROOF RELIABLE- 105mm BULLETPROOF design it is. in nasty conditions, is a hard bike to beat. my 87 and i have completed many 50 mile + rides and keep up with the XR650R, the YZ250, the TT350, the KDX220, YZ400F, the KTM300, etc, that ride in our group.
