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.
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!
So many bikes, so little time! It is really great fun. Happy to hear you like the videos, and … I’m so relieved my riding has improved. Let’s see if I can keep that going.
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
@@eddielawsonjr.8705 I've been thinking about getting another one. I'm not sure if I should go with the 150xcw or the 250. I feel like I'm stuck in-between with the 200.
@@eddielawsonjr.8705 I have watched your channel off and on for the past 3 years. Your riding has greatly improved. I mean no disrespect when I say that. I am 52 and have been riding the last 3 years and it is a challenge at my age. Really nice job Eddie!
I am a slow learner on the dirt, but I do feel like I’ve figured some stuff out! Not so easy at our age? Congratulations to you for withstanding three years of this channel 😂.

Old school! 😁👍
I love how he’s talking about the bike like it’s a fine aged wine
These bikes are at least as complex and satisfying as a fine wine! Also: fewer calories.

the one algorithm that actually was good!
@@iceee187 Shhh! Don't say bad things about the algorithm! It's always listening, watching . . .
Omg, looks so fun!

Love the video..."Gosh I love them all!" I think I've said the same thing! Howdy Rich and Nicole!!
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it 👍 and the bikes … they do all make me happy!
Back with The Smiths again...nice!
Lol - you and me, the only two people who notice hahaha. Glad you caught it.

A good reminder that I need to get out on the 200 XCW! Rode the Beta 390 today his past weekend. What a bike! Love them all.
Fun day! Hoping Hodges reopens soon.
We should start a go fund me for Rich!!
Hey I made an appearance in this video, my buddy busted his knee up pretty good when we tried to keep up with you guys on out mountain bike. LMAO
I hope he is okay by now! Sorry to hear that, and how on earth did you find this video?!
@@eddielawsonjr.8705 yea it wasn't anything series, h',s fine. and I just searched Hodges dam.

There are actually a few places to ride legally in MA.

Nah,you dropped it 👍🏻
Handlebar has to touch the ground!
I have a 2008 200xcw. Still runs great!
You’ve probably paid it off by now, too 😄. New bikes perform so much better, but old bikes are really fun. REALLY FUN!!

Rich absolutely loves the 250. I can see why, too. The 150 I’ve heard is not as enjoyable as the 200.
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
Totally on target. Although I think most of the difference was me opening the throttle all the way 😂

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.
