Well, been a member here for a bit, I just do more lurking than posting. I learned how to ride on a worn-out, ridden to death 185s. Then in high school, I was able to save up and get an 84 200x with a poorly swapped 200s....but I loved it all the same.

Last year, I started on a ground-up, custom using a combination of Honda and Suzuki parts to be powered by an XR600. Not the easiest way to have an atc600x, lol. Well between getting married and relocating, that project is on hiatus for quite some time. So to hold me over, I bought a sweet little gem of a 200x yesterday in very nice shape with a ton of new parts...it's an 85 I believe. I'll have to try and get some pics up. A little nostalgia and something to hold me over.

I just so happen to have a spare jug, head and xr200 cam laying around! I've seen some mean looking 200x's here and will probably try to emulate some of them.

Just thought I'd share!

I know the feeling. I'm getting ready to start on an XL125s dirtbike. Got a Big Red 200 I'm parting out and am thinking that 200 jug with a wiseco dome top and a good cam mught just wake that little 125 up.
