I'd deffinately go with the 350X. If the 200X was cheaper I'd say go with it but for the price the 350 is a hands down winner. Carb. rebuild and fork seals are easy.

I would do a compression test on the 350X, but it sounds like the better deal. I mean if the 200X smokes badly, it will probably need the upper end done, so it needs more work, costs more money and has less power.
My vote would go to the 350X in this case. I just bought a 200X and I love it, but if I could have got a 350X for less money that ran better I would have bought it in a second. The extra power of the 350X would be real nice to have.
I guess there is some issue of parts for the 350X more than the 200X, but you would want some of the guys who own 350X to tell you what is hard to find and is no longer made, or expensive etc.

i would love to have either, but the 350 is obviously more power which would be a plus! and like 200xmichigan said upper end needs to be redone to have it not smoke $$$

I voted 350x. I have a 200x cause it was for sale when I wanted one. My 200x runs like a 350x but it cost a ton to build. Get the power up front with the 350x.

I say 350X you'll probably be in it for less money after repairs and have more power.
