November 2, 200718 yr The extra 20cc on the 200 really does transform the bike, having just upgraded from the 143 to the 163 I can honestly say that its a different beast. I have spent a lot of time on the 250f and although a fantastic bike the 200 has the edge (by about $A3500) it turns tighter, feels more nimble, and is a lot less complicated athough I do have to put in 1litre of oil every three months or so wether she wants it or not..... Ground clearence is an issue I know and she does dig in occasionally, however I have found my technique has improved to compensate I have learnt to unweight properly instead of being lazy!!! If anyone has tried the Birkett aftermarket bash plate please let me know if it is better than the standared!!
