As the proud owner of a 2015 KTM 200, I am happy that 200's are continued to be made because they are extremely fun, especially when you get on the pipe, as Rado pointed out. Absolute woods weapons!
I’m a smaller guy and 200’s fit me well. I’m looking into buying a used bike like the one you tested. Getting back into the sport for my kids, and this fits the bill. 2-stroke power, built to chug on trails.
I never understood why KTM chose to drop the 200 and instead offer the 125 and 150 as neither of those models come close to a 200, a friend had the last year of the KTM 200 and it was so much fun to ride, it required a bit more focus on clutch control and gear selection but once you adjusted your riding style it was pure joy, and your exactly right as it didn't wear you out as quickly, the KDX 200 was also a great bike.
I had a 150 and I had a 200 prior to that. surprisingly the 150 was faster but the 200 was just much easier to ride. I would take the 200 every single time over the 150 Unless I was racing motocross
just wanted to say hi from sweden.. i ride and compete the swedish enduro championship on the rieju 300 and i just love the bike.. i spend half the budget on this one comparing to my old bike wich was a crf450 with all the necesary parts on in... But on the Rieju i just swapped the handlebar, fotpegs, and rebuild the suspension for a cpl of hundred bucks and im now just as fast, and even faster in some sections as on my raceprepped crf450. im not even comparing to a KTM since that one will break my bank if i want it as good as the Rieju comes stock.. and it handles like a dream!!! steelframe and ahhh i just love to ride it.
I like every thing about my 2022 MR300 Racing and I equally like your reviews and commentary on this channel! I am in my 50s, barely have time to ride, but this bike makes me feel like a better rider than I am! The 200 probably would have been sufficient for the riding I do - lighter feeling and less tiring it sounds like. Might have to consider that next time! 😊
You looked very comfortable on it, you were flicking it around pretty good 👍 Being my size(250lbs) I could probably use a 2stroke 300 but I prefer a 250. 250's keep me working just enough not to get lazy.
One thing I love about this channel is Rado is open to riding anything and not just what the masses ride. And yes I have a boutique bike and a bike for the masses..
I used to race my girlfriend's KTM200 in GPs and no one could tell it was a 200 - They just thought I was expert holding it wide open the whole time! It was fast!! Don't underestimate the 200s. I'm sure that thing rips. I kinda want one again. ✌️
Was hoping for the same but after talking to somebody who inquired about importing them into Canada they would cost more than current KTM‘s to break even
Dang Rado, you've become quite the rider! I just got into the 2t world with a te300i. Having fun trying to work on the slower more enduro/single track stuff. Good stuff.
I am still riding a fully rebuilt 2012 200XCW and love the engine for the type of riding I do. I am very curious about these Rieju's but would hate to take the weight of electric start and linkage...
I currently ride a ktm 200xcw and have owned other ktm 200s in the past and I think it’s the perfect size and motor combo you can get I love it don’t get me wrong I want to get a 300 but the 200 isn’t going anyplace as long as I’m still able to ride
KTM was not selling a lot of 200's because everyone wanted a 250 or a 300...that's why they went down to the 150. That RIeju looks really nice and sounds incredible. Can you tell me what brakes are on it? Not a huge fan with the starter hanging off the side, but it would be easier to change. Great vid, did you say that track is in your back yard? Nice track. Love the accent to, everything was great with the video and can't wait to see the 300 vid.
Funny thing, it's a European brand but in Europe we don't have the 200cc model!! Lool only in the Ranger version.... About the lower end, you can do some little things to improve: better jetting, increase volume in the power valve cover. And for last the cylinder head, but more expensive.
@@Mattflea on the USA website we can see the 200cc model available but on the European website we don't see available. But it's like you said and I didn't know, so thank you for that! 😉 But searching for the configurator it appears a message not available for the moment.
Ahoj Rado.Ja som kedysi jazdil KTM 200 EXC 03 a bola to parádna motorka.Podľa mojich info bol motor prevŕtaná 125-ka.Ale túžil som po Gas Gas-e rok 05-06 ešte žltá a tam bol základ motor 250-ka s 200-kovým valcom.Dodnes ju márne hľadám v inzercii.🙂
The Reiju mr200 is based off of the mr300 so the size differenve is very minimal. The Beta 200 rr and rr race edition are based off of the 125 chasis so it is a bit lighter and smaller than their 250 & 300cc bikes.
I'm looking to upgrade from a 2017 ktm xc 250. It is a little too much for my old short legs. Trying to decide between a Rieju or a 350 or 390 Beta. I am older with 32 inch inseam riding East coast Appalachia. Thanks for your videos.
look up Rieju 200 Ranger, they have lower seat height and detuned engine, but the bottom is better than on MR model.. sounds like something you can use on the trails
I personally favor big bore 2 strokes, but as a heavier guy ,I still like much smaller 2 & 4 stroke dirtbikes .Smaller bikes are less intimidating,, require less effort to handle, are plenty fast enough , cost less , just as exciting , an easier on fuel ⛽️ & lastly , loading & unloading is easier as well ! I will purchase a 200cc off road 2 stroke for sure 👌 this specific Rieju 200 cc is a great choice & Seams totally competitive to any other serious 200cc off rd. competition bike ! I like the smaller dirt bike companies , they deserve good sales ! With Rueju, and a few other dirtbike smaller brands, you can take your self & girl & kids ,and have awsome times trail riding, as much as the most expensive brands & for hundreds of dollars more left in your pocket 😄 !!!
Could you comment on what your out the door cost was? Also, what was the suspension like stock (before you had it worked on by Technical Touch)? What type of parts support would a person have if they purchased one? Would it be similar to the way TM parts work or different? Thanks for the video. I appreciate your perspective on bikes and have missed this type of video from you. It was these types of videos that drew me to watch and subscribe to your channel in the first place.
The bike as u see it in the video is what u get out of the crate.. the technical touch is KYB standard on these bikes... just throw yar springs on it and get it shimsed to yar liking and off u go.
hi Conrad, I am not sure about the OTD price as I got this bike for review, I did not buy it. The bike is 100% stock, comes that way from the showroom floor. Glad you like the reviews brother, 300cc review coming soon ;)
yo rado, i really dig the color of your boots, those tech 7 looks amazing. anyway, about the bike, in EU the reiju is a popular alternative to the ktm, cheaper but not shabby. with less than10k you get the "racing" version wich is absoluely mindblowing.
Rado - I hadn't seen anyone ride one of these bikes; I'd just read about them. Looks to me like it would be prefect for an old geezer like me......looks light, handles, has good bottom end.......very much like a super good KDX 200. Think I'll take my Social Security check down and get one......now where'd I put my glasses and false teeth?
Nice and light fast and very flickable like a 125 but the lack of low down torque for long steep rocky hills while racing has made me go back to 250cc with the added weight penalty.
@tcmx712 It was an old WR200 Yamaha with a big bore and ported top end mod..I've ridden all the recent 200s as I was gonna consider the lovely Beta 200 as well..but one test ride on a 250 Husky at a few hundred dollars more convinced me that this is my race bike..I've only got to try and work out how to reduce around 25 kilograms off the beast.

Still don’t understand why these bikes are always tested at a motocross track or in the desert the 200cc motor and bike was built for tight woods riding.
My 2016 KTM 200 XC-W will always be my favourite bike and I will never get rid of it. For me, KTM dropping the 200 and bringing in the (incredibly pointless) 150 is the biggest mistake they made as a top tier manufacturer.
I own the MR 300 Pro and I may consider going back to a 250 for a more 'spirited' riding experience. But the 200 weighs the same as the 250 and 300 and it's a heavy bike . I don't believe the 200 offers a benefit for smaller riders because it's just too heavy for the average petite rider .

The KDX 200 was the best enduro bike ever built, always amazed me that nobody wanted to built 200's anymore.
Very awsome bike. We need more 200cc bikes from different manufacturers. It sounds dam good and that suspension looks plush
