200's have always been the odd man out. Media rarely covers them and the average consumer assumes they are for beginners and ladies. Too bad because after owning an EC300 and EC250, I prefer the 200. It's better in the tight woods, less tiring, and just plain more fun to ride.
Funny, here in the NW there are a lot of really good experienced riders who have switched to small 2-strokes the past couple of years. I see tons of KTM 150's, 200's, Husky 150/165's and an occasional Gasgas 200 at our local events.
