I really want a 250r, I have a clean 200x. what's the difference in suspension between a
200x, a 350x, and a 250r? I was thinking about swapping a bigger motor in to the 200x bike. I know it would be cheaper to sell the 200x and buy a 250r or 350x, but I like building stuff and I am considering swapping in a bigger motor if the 200x suspension is close to the same caliber as it's bigger brothers. I am a fabricator and certified welder so that area would be no problem for me. I got the 200x from the original owner, this bike has been takin out less than 5 times in it's life... it was caught on fire in a trailer so all of the plastics are not original so it's not like it's a original bike worth money or anything. I have never really been up close to a 250 or 350 so I don't know how the suspension compares. I have seen some xr 500 and 650 motors on ebay for reasonable prices, I just wonder about the kick starter on them. any thoughts? or anyone have a bigger bike they would like to trade straight up or with cash? I really like the 200x, it's just a little gutless for my liking
