Hey guys I have had an XR200 and an XR250. The 200 was a 87 but that thing was a mad fun play bike like many have said, but it was very raggy for me since I bought it for 50 bux and restored it and sold for money to buy the 250. The 250 on the other hand, whoa, that was a 1998, and Yea, it sometimes was hard to start until you got the hang of it ( It would flood easy so you had to know how to use the compression release lever to help starting )

The only thing about the 250 over the 200, is the seat height, it is a very tall bike, and someone heavy, but absolutly positivly one of the best trail bikes for someone thats not to heavy. The power on those is so evenly distributed and you could ride wheelies up to 6th gear easy. I had mine set up with a 60t rear sproket because I was going for mostly trails and trial riding. Fun bikes though!
