Haha, that's cool. That poor old XR200. Now, to be fair, I'd like to see that repeated on a nice natural terrain grass track...

I rode a friends XR for about a half hour back in the day . I couldn't believe how God Awful slow it was. 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

Great memories of these beauties,my older brother had a 1982 XR200 RB and brother Scungey and I got back into bikes via our cousins 1979  XR 185 followed by our own 1985 XR 200RF which was a real rev machine.
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
