austini Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 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!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
