Using the search function on NGK's website, I got no hit when I queried for projected reach plugs. So I asked NGK about it (like, 'Do you make either/both -EV or -EVX plugs in the projected reach style?')
I told them the application was an '00 KDX 200 2-stroke single cylinder.
They said:
Something for youse guys with those 225 pingy big bores to keep in mind? ;) ..mac?
Kinda makes the projected nose plugs sound a bit paltry?
***edit***
Another warning..repeating mostly the above..but read and heed!!!

It is highly recommended that you don't use a projected style spark plug in your application. These bikes are prone to detonation and vibration and you would be exposing the spark plug to thermal and mechanical shock. The results could be spark plug breakage and internal damage to the engine. If this is a fouling issue your having I would suggest jetting the bike to the spark plug.
If you want to use a projected spark plug then use a BPR8EVX or
BPR8ES and use at your own risk.

(emphasis mine)Use at your own risk. These spark plugs come across my desk everyday severely damaged and requests for complete engine rebuilds. NGK nor the manufacture will help you in anyway if this happens to you. We do extensive testing so we know what should be in this bike and the spark plug that is recommended is the correct plug.
