That's a shame. The 200 could have been a big bore version of the 125 bike... like the 300 being a big bore version of the 250 bike. Really doesn't make sense to make the 200 a low-powered 250 bike.

If seen the KTM 200XC and it is definitely smaller than 250XC. The KTM 200XC must be built from the 125SX bike.

Kind of interesting that KTM doesn't make a 125XC or 125XC-W in their line of 1000 model variations. Not that I really want one, but just an interesting point.
