Well here it is had no plans on getting another bike right away but one kind of fell in my lap... its a 2001 XR 200R and from what I understand is a great bike. I will be using it for trails and the beach to ride with my better half on a 150F. My old 04 CRF 250R was just way to much bike to ride with her 2nd gear and I am gone. Any thought or advice would be great, things to look for with these bikes, good price etc

The bike needs for sure

foot peg
new brakes
possibly tires
a full tune up (been sitting for over a year)

Thanks for any help you have!!

Check out ThumperTalk, they've got a lot of good stuff on 4 strokes.

That bike should last until 2020.


Thanks guys ended up picking it up as it was too good a deal to pass! The better half already said she would try this one as my CRF was just too intimidating. So maybe next year she will take it over and I can get another big bike, but for this summer thinkin it will make a perfect trail runner that I can run slow enough to pace the 150F! She already has a trip planed for us so looking forward to some relaxing rides just stoked she is on board for another set of toys!

My girlfriend rides her dad's old 96 XR200. Sweet bike, super smooth, and it's tough to stall. All good for the 150F pace inthe woods.

well had the XR out with the 150 and man what a perfect match keeps pace nice no bog or stall! Love this bike talk about turn key first or second kick every time and still has a decent fun factor!

Thanks Shifty
