Now, I don't agree with Mr Bushwacker
The 200 was my first 2 stroke and I love it.
I find its so much lighter and more managable than the 400 - its less tiring to ride.
Yes if you crack the throttle open you'll be off like a scolded cat but I went down one tooth on the rear sprocket and learnt some throttle/clutch control.
Last time out I was riding it like a trials bike in some places and then had bit of a blast in others.
Fantastic bike.
It is each to his own and maybe one day I'll go back to the 400 just for the change but I've had this (04) 200 for over 2 years and I'm not thinking of changing yet.
Have to say that I'm only about 30 minutes from the trails - so road riding isn't too bad - the 400 was a lot nicer on the road.
