I honesty thought something was wrong with it. Later that year a XR200 was on my minute in a enduro. He was pulling away and dropping me (Floater PE) from every reset . That little bike was so fast through the tight woods. It was humbling. I'd own one today.

yep when new they had a restricter plate in the inlet manifold with a hole about the size of a one cent peice, plus a restricter baffle in the muffler, it was the way around the emission laws of 1981 ish

XR 200"s sold by the truckload over here in Enzed and they won a lot of enduros and club mx races.
Thanks for sharing ;D
