    I don't get how the newer models are lighter than the older ones. Can someone give me details?

    The 2nd gen 200X are also usually like 3 times as expensive. And their engines are totally different. I don't know about production numbers but from looking in CL I see more 350X than 2nd gen 200X. The older 200X has tons of parts that will work from other engines and many different engines that will go in there. I love the 200X on the trail. Real light, good power, parts are easy to find and cheap. If your budget fits a 2nd gen 200X then go for it but they are so rare around here the only one I saw for sale was more than all off the 350X. That's why I would either just get a first gen 200X or just get a 350X.

    According to THIS web sites specification pages, the DRY weight of an '85 200X is 282.2 lbs and the DRY weight of an '86 200X is 278 lbs...4.2 lbs difference. IMO...unless your drag racing, the difference in weight isn't even a topic for discussion.

    the difference in engine performance from the 1st gen to the 2nd gen motors adds to and exaggerates the weight and overall chassis advantage the 86 and laters enjoy..... DANG! the more i think about and 86 200x reading this thread, the more i WANT one! myu friend had one back in the day when i had a Zuki 230 QS, and that thing was minty....we're talking 1991 when he bought it...i loved riding that thing
    Trikes:
    '85 ATC 350R
    '85 ATC 250R

    True, parts are harder to find and more expensive in turn, but having owned an 85 and an 87, there is no comparison in the two. Now, your argument for buying a 350x is valid. Any time you can get your hands on a 350, grab it. I love my 87 200x, but wouldn't give up my 350x for it.
