Very interesting! I didn't really know if the 200 Racing existed for real.
As my 2015 EC200 is getting old, I am thinking of buying a newer bike. Or perhaps just do yet another big service of what I have.
I am in a knee-injury hiatus right now, but hope to be back in the spring.
I'm not sure how to get my hands on a MR200 here in Norway, but if there is will, there is a way.
Other candidates might be Beta 200 or perhaps a Sherco 4T.

I did ride my mate's 2019 EC250 a few hundred meters. So no, not really. I am a very slow learner when it comes to new bikes. I need to ride a new bike for hours to really understand what it is capable of.

The trouble here in Norway is that Rieju has quite a few dealers, but none of them has experience with the enduro bikes. So I guess I'm on my own if I decide to go that route.

I checked now with the Norwegian Importer, and they say that the MR200 is an US only model. I guess that's the reason why they don't show on rieju.es
