That's a good looking bike! I like the ad though, "everything is in good working order except the engine"...

Aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?

Even at a good price, you wouldn't like this bike nearly as much as the Dirt Rat. The Dirt Rat had the very capable Pro-Link, whereas the XR200 had a twin shock swingarm with little travel. I have two around here that I can turn into one complete bike (thanks to Kato), and it'll be a buddy bike.

I'm wondering what is wrong ith the motor. Maybe it just needs rings and valves? Maybe it does not need to be repowered?
