    Had a brand new 02” 200 Exc a 04” 200SX and a 06” 200Xc. I’d say the 02” had the best power with a v-force,pipe and pro circut silencer,jetted right and it ripped.

      These bikes are at least as complex and satisfying as a fine wine! Also: fewer calories.

    Good ole CZcams algorithm led me here, and glad it did! Really enjoy the riding and commentary style. Very entertaining. Just picked up my brand new 2023 ( carbureted ) Beta 300RR! Now all I have to do is wait for spring. Ugh! Cheers from the frozen north. Combermere, Ontario Canada to be exact. Lots of Crown land up here to ride on. Not sure what they call it down there. Thanks for the virtual trail ride!

      Take me to your algorithm 👽. Good to hear someone is enjoying the channel 👍. I’ve got a ‘23 200 Race on the way - from what I gather, the 300 is exceptional. Spring can’t come soon enough.

    As to seeing creepy stuff in the woods, one time I was way out in the middle of nowhere riding in thousands of acres of woods. In the middle of the woods to the side of the trail, there was a spot where a fire was, some beer cans, and a 3 piece suit laying there with some other men's clothes.....The suit is what seemed really weird.

    Enjoy your channel and humor Eddie. Your riding has definitely improved, keep having fun. I recently switched from a 300 XC-W to a YZ250FX and, as you said, want them all! My son outgrew his yz85 so I bought him a 125XC. Couldn't be happier with either of these bikes, we switch back and forth all the time, really don't think I could pick just 1. If you ever get a chance check out a woods tuned 125, handles like a scalpel and you feel like you're haulin a$$. Look forward to your next vid!

    I came so close to selling my 07 xc-w after crashing a buddy's 250 sx. Broke ribs and wrists. Luckily after 2 years off I jumped back on the 200 and it was love all over again. I am so glad I didn't sell mine either. Amazing bikes.

    Where are you legally riding in Massachusetts? I was told by numerous state officials that there's no legal place outside of Freetown for a strict limit of bikes like trials biks

    If the KTM 200 felt terrific in Winter, then I can say it is probably too fat for the thinner summer air. Just my .02

    200 is the best all around bike for woods.

      Pretty hard to argue with that, right? The 390 is fantastic, and the 300 TPi also incredibly effective. But I think the 200 is best all-around.
