That's an interesting bike. The top mounted tail light makes me think it is a 2000 XC200 (the XCs still said EC on the shrouds). If that's the case it would've come with 43mm upside down WP forks. I think the ECs that year did have conventional Marzocchi forks though. But...look closely and I think someone has swapped a Suzuki RM front end from about 96-98 on there. Check out the triple clamp bolt location, the brake disc and hub looks Suzuki, the forks themselves are different, front rim doesn't match the rear rim, etc.

Anyway, that's a clean looking old 200.
