My XR 200

[DSwanabe]

yeah, I love my XR200. its fun and its a work horse. ok fine, you want the skinny, you get it. its a 2001 xr200r(I think you know that by now)um, bought it used , got a killer deal on it. and it came with gear, sweet. um, i'm 15 I live in vail arizona and like to ride alot. I also like to ride my dads DRZ400S, ofcourse it is more fun than the 200.



well, thats my life in a nutshell, I also like to ride my mountain bike.

yup, sure is, but I dont have a ding in the mufler and dont have the renthals,its bone stock, and doesn't look that clean, I had a little fun in the mud today, i just rained a day ago, so I had to take advantage of that nice sticky wet soil. and yeah, it sure is a blast, its a bit slow compared to my dads 400 I ride, but i've got it up to about 80 in sixth, so, it does ok. The best part is it only ways somthing like 221 pounds, I mean, dang you can flick this thing and it'll turn.

well, I had to wash my bike after that, but with snow I guess you just let it melt,lol, i've seen snow about 3 times in my life. even then it was just fluries. You must have really bundled up for that ride, I think the most I have worn on a ride is three layers of clothes, a shirt, sweat shirt and then my jersey. It never really gets too cold to ride here in arizona. I bet it was fun to start the quad in those tempuratures, or anything that burns gas for that matter. I'll get a pic of my with my bike up here soon, probably by monday.



yeah, i'm a bit of a speed demon, I haven't got into sixth gear since then though, sheesh I wonder what it could do on street. It takes that little thing a bit of time to wind up to its top speed(haven't got there yet,lol.) the only way I got going that fast is I have a rail line that is really close and theres a smooth dirt acces road next to it, I did 80 in about 1/4 to 1/3 of a mile, so its nimble compared to cars(shoot my brother's 100 is faster than a toyota or somthing.) The funny thing is the rear tire has about 1/8[suP]th[/suP] inch of tread on it, so it isn't a traction demon either, that kind of tire makes for great power slides though.:dude:



look for some pics soon (possibly of my dads bike all dirty, hehe.)
