Deadly Honda XR200R extreme enduro beast!︱Cross Training Enduro

- www.crosstrainingenduro.com Have you ridden a Honda XR200R and survived?! There is an old battered version of this extreme enduro animal in Canada. I attempt to ride it every time I visit, so here is our our Honda XR200R hard enduro beast review and test ride... After World War 2, the Japanese continued their weapons programs in deep secret underground bunkers with the XR200 series, creating engines of such devastating power that they were declared illegal, hunted down, and boiled down as scrap metal. The Honda XR200R was such a beast. However the rise of hard enduro has seen a fresh demand for these deadly weapons, as a new breed of rider emerges, with the small brain and oversized gonads needed to try and control these wild beasts, these XR200R weapons of individual destruction for individuals crazy enough to ride them. If you are man or woman enough for a Honda XR200R, then gird your loins and jump on.

The extreme enduro Honda XR 200R had a 195 cc (11.9 cu in) engine that was shared with the Honda ATC 200x but with a different camshaft and carburetor. This hard enduro version of the XR200 engine ran 10:1 compression ratio and was oversquare. For the 1984-85 XR200 model years, the Honda XR200 hard enduro beast had a smaller version of the same 4 valve RFVC engine as the other XR's in the line up. The 200cc RFVC engine shared many parts with the 250cc RFVC engine. For the 1986 model year, Honda reverted to the 2 valve engine that had powered the XR200R before 1984 and variations of the 2 valve engine continued to power the XR200R until the model was dropped altogether. Unlike two strokes, the XR series only needed one input spot of oil instead of two (engine and gas mix). The wild Honda XR200 hard enduro beast that needs a firm hand to master.

Still one of the most reliable bikes and the toughest as much as how funny this video this bike is just the most hard to destroy bike
TWO Pro Links?! Unbelievable!
imagine if it had three, tyler :D
believe it!!
@@crosstrainingenduro NO! never 3!! That's blasphemy!! 2 wheels! 2 pro links! And even that's too much!
@@crosstrainingenduro Man I have seen yellow bikes like this and they had full floater, whatever! ;-)
My MTX has 2 as well. And an ATAC Valve. Eats children I tell You
It's always more fun to ride a small light weight bike fast through technical terrain than a fast bike slow.
exactly
That’s an infair advantage.. you even have 2 shocks in case one fails.
I noticed you still can’t pull away from Beta colors!
Well I reckon riding a fast bike fast beats both
@@lancaster3942 I think you're the only one that caught on to that little typo. Love it!
I bought a 1999 xr200 as my first bike. Great fun, my friend owns it now. Truly bulletproof.
ya untill the oil pump goes
the oil pump works on crank rotation in an xr200.
ya mine went last year and needed a whole new top end was a load of fun
I had a 1987 I bought brand new. It actually was bullet proof great for wheelies and jumps good top end but not exactly quick.
Had a 86 model. One of the most fun bikes I have owned. Wish I still had it.
You don't ever sell a XR 200 - you hand them down to your grandchildren like Patek Philippe watches!
For a lightweight non racing rider, the humble XR200 as far back as the 1981 models are still a darn good trail bike for tackling Idaho's technical mountain trails.
It might be the devil's lettuce, it might be the 9 yuenglings... but I laughed hard enough at this video to wake up my girlfriend LOL great job guys :)
i had a lot of laughs just putting it together :D
@RedPill Crusader n
love my 91 xr200r would recommend one to anyone. probably the best beginner bike in my opinion
I'm a amateur driver I use the xr200 it's great
My dad bought a 86 and I am excited to fix it up and ride it
XR200's are fucking rad
My boss has one and I just finished rebuilding the top end they are awsome bikes
Beginner bike? Maybe......... if you were Godzilla!!!
We have a 1993 xr200 that started life as my daughters bike. We later put a supertrap slip on spark arrestor for a drop of more power.
We later installed longer xr250 forks with front disc brake and longer xr250 rear shock, (ebay). This made the bike more fun for everyone to play around on as a camp bike.
After all these years and many other racing bikes have come and gone...this bike still remains.
Great camp bike...very Bulletproof and anybody can ride her.....she is known as Rhonda.
1st gear is unstallable and 6th gear on 2track trails plenty fast.
No power really just fun😉
great bikes for sure! our group was saying the other day it would be fun to have one of these in our group to take out occasionally and just show you can still ride some gnarly terrain on an old underpowered bike. 😎
@@crosstrainingenduro
There was a time when my bike was out of comission mid weekend so I took Rhonda on a big bike ride for laughs😆. I surprised a couple of slower riders in our group when I passed them on the easy stuff🤣
I had a XR200a twin shocka.
I rode enduro, trials and used it for work, a lovely little iron.
Have just got back into trail riding on a 97 DR350. Happy riding
Love this video, watched it 5 times now and its always good! I just bought a 1986 XR200 as a fixer upper and am looking so forward to riding it thanks to you!
That will be a fun project, Kevin. I had quite a few laughs putting this vid together.
this has been one of your best and most honest videos of late.
You guys are awesome! So funny! I have an XR 200 and I joke about it all the time as well...SO MUCH POWER, AIR COOLED, OH MY GOODNESS 2 VALVES, etc...but it is a total blast to ride in the tight stuff and the perfect "blast around with my son" bike.
this video gave me low compression
as long as it didn't give you a loose rear end
+CROSS TRAINING ENDURO SKILLS I think riding this slow bike may have somehow increased your speaking performance.
+Bryan Murphy you're speaking at normal speed!
rrrrreeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyy?
+CROSS TRAINING ENDURO SKILLS In all seriousness, your videos are one of my favorite things on youtube. if you ever find yourself in Connecticut USA, I've got an extra bush pig for ya.
I'm an RFVCXR200R, and I approve this video
loved this video, i ride an 83' xr 200r all the time and it keeps up with my fathers ktm 520sxf in the woods all day. amazing.
Had so much fun with this vid......! Thanks. Love the 200cc
my dad ahas been riding an xr200 my whole life. the things are bullet proof and he somehow keeps up or close enough with ne no matter what i am on. unbelievable single track bikes
My first full sized bike was an XR200, I loved that bike!
I had an xr250r for my first bike and loved it! Always kept up with the new bikes even though it used more oil than gas.
The very first dirt bike I rode by myself was a 1982 XR 200R. I wasn't tall enough so I had to start on the kick stand and just drive away and then kick it up. LOL! I've been quadriplegic for a little over 19 years thanks to an accident on an ATC but I also used to have a 1986 Honda XR 600R, I really miss riding! Another great video, thanks!
I've got myself a 2004 XR250R, it's a beast when you take out the exhaust baffle, fly's up and down moutains with ease.
I love this video. The "old school" stuff ROCKS! When I was a youngin, I had a silver XR-75 and an Elsinore like what was shown at the beginning (1:25 & 1:27). That was before Honda went red on the paint job. I think that Elsinore was a CR-125, but I had the CR-250. Those things were ~screamers~. Again, I loved this video.
You remind me my first love... the DR 350R of 1995.... You have a great school of enduro under your knees my friend.
lol great vid! My first bike was an '88 XR 350! Great bikes those. I would recommend them to anyone just learning because they are so forgiving.
What a great blast from the past! Fun times!
Had so much fun on one of them when I was much younger,
Makes me want to find another
Jajaja thanks for the video motivation for me and my old xr200 r 83!! ;) I keep practice and saveing money to buy a modern one in the future
I bought one after watching this lol.. I absolutely love the little piece of junk. Dead reliable, great to thrash, and easy to pick up and throw around. Can't wait till I find the courage to get mud under the tyres...
first bike i ever rode on with my Dad from about 1 year old 12 years on he gave it to me the same bike bullet proof machine love it and miss them went up to a crf 230 after :)
bloody Good video Mate :)
It's hard to watch this while laughing so hard my eyes are just continuously watering. The comments about Jarvis and Walker just put it over the top. I remember now my brothers 82 XR250 had those dual PRO LINKS and you could jump that bike like twice as high as my 3.5 hp Briggs hard tail minibike. Thanks for making this vid!
O.o I must try that one...many years ago I did drive the little sister XL125 Paris Dakar and I know wat do you mean about POWER.
If on the 125 you need big marbles imagine the XR200.
I was watching the video and sweating rivers.
I did fear for your life.DON`T DO THAT AGAIN, please
Man, you have my respect...anyone that drives with not one but 2 Pro-Links is my hero.
Forget Jarvis...your the BOSS.
This video is over square!!
Love it!
Love this . I rode one when they just came out and thought it was everything you described. :-)
This is the best channel on youtube
thanks myles, we are trying to do the best dodgy vids out there lol
I love you guys 😂 . Keep up the videos!
I recently bought a mint 1983 XL250R and I absolutely love it. It is 33 years old and everything works perfect (besides for the high beam indicator). I seriously doubt that any bike bought today will still be around in the year 2049. I know the new stuff has way more power and handle better. But even on the new Honda atvs I can see a huge decrease in the long term durability...... But all this aside, I really enjoy these videos.
You should have a tv show with your such a brilliant sense of dry comedy! Awesome stuff lol
PAUSE: I need to thank you for commenting on the Corduroy, an enduro I pre-ran, and swept, and worked checkpoints as a kid. My uncle started the race with some friends in 1953 at the dead end of Kingston Road @ the Rouge River valley and he competed on a BSA with 2.5” of suspension travel. He (Don Charters) passed away in April 2020 at 94 years old. He was the longest lived of his crew as all his friends passed over a decade before him. He was and remains a HUGE influence on me and is the main reason I still ride.
Kudos to your uncle, it's guys like that who really make this sport special... riders who keep putting something back into our sport!
As you probably know, we have massive amounts of respect for riders who are still out there in their sixties, seventies and beyond... I bet Don was one of them! ua-cam.com/video/PFVe7nMB7us/v-deo.html
I effin Love you guys!
I miss my 1993 XR250R. Awesome bike in its day.
I had a 1988 XR200R. Looked just like that one. Rode my first race on it.
Great video....keep em coming..
Fantastic video! Finally an objective review about a dirt bike on UA-cam. Not the usual biased bullshit. I suggest a review about the best dirt bike of all, the Yamaha IT with the ''out of this world'' Energy Induction system, ''under the tank'' monoshock, triangular swingarm and triple bearings wheel hubs. :)
Shout out to that Unibroue he's having in the intro. Best beer out of this beautiful country hands down
Great video. XR 200 is usually the go to bike for newbies here in Brazil, they get to learn enduro riding on this beast! But the dream of any new rider is the POWA of a TTR 230 or a CRF 230. 'Imported' 250 or 450 bikes are for chickens who can't handle the native bikes.
Glad to see the Canadians are just as crazy as us!!
Yeah austra nadians 🤔🤔🤪😁😁
@@thetaffia. Oh yeah!!
Dude, that is awesome! I just got my daughter a '93, I thought it was a cream puff but it's badass! Thanks for another hilarious video, good job man!
bad ass bike in a cream puff disguise, ron!
Ron Butler Love it! I just bought a ‘94 for my daughter. She is loving it. Now my son isn’t satisfied with his ‘01 XR100R.
I have a 2001 xr 200! And, i love that little bike. Honestly prob one of the best trail bikes ive ever rode. It could use a little more power, but that can be solved with a simple header n pipe. And to get them exactly right, a sprokit set of your # choice to make the power to weight ratio right for yourself and you have one of the toughest funnest bikes you will ever ride!!!
This made my day
I took one lap around the parking lot on my CL100 and sold because the power scared me so much. The 7 horse it cranked out was so beastly!
I am worried Honda will be sued one day for creating such powerful beasts, Dan. As a kid I learned on a QA50 and within a few rides I was dragging my knuckles on the ground when walking. 😢
@@crosstrainingenduro LOL! THE POWER!
I converted one to a dual sport. It's a lot of fun.
nice vid just bought mien and fixing it up. nice to know i have a good bike. meins a 1994 xr200r. going to give it a full look over. verry powefull bike. have a awsome day.
My first bike!! Had lots of fun on it.
this guy is amazing !!! and I love my 83 xr200r -
this video is just great bro
A friend convinced me to ride one of those and I was hooked. So much fun I bought one. Keep the cam chain adjusted and change the oil often. Honda failed to use bearings on the cam so the heads get galled requiring a kit from an aftermarket company. Also, the rear shock is not rebuildable.
Best channel on UA-cam
oh man the pro-link coment got me laughing. excellent review 😂
Stops under 2 minutes!? Incredible xD
as long as you weren't in third gear or higher... yes!
awesome vids man too funny
awesome vid man, comes across as shorter version of a a tv show,reminds me a lot of blokes world even more so on your adventure channel.hope your having fun in Canada,happy riding!
already back from canada but just pumping out a pile of vids in the mean time, can't wait to get back there next year for a bit of blokes world in the northern hemisphere....
Made my day! Lucky I haven't had any kick back yet!!
I've got a xr100 and a xr500r and I can personally say that the old Honda xr's were a great bulletproof bike with so much power that they were dropped from production due to lawsuits from being to powerful.
this is true. even the honda 50 is a lethal weapon in the wrong hands: ua-cam.com/video/5Z8TyytT8OE/v-deo.html
"Pulls like a 14 year old" Hahaha!!!
after 18 years of no ridding went and picked up an xr250 dam did i miss riding. picked up lots of lil tricks here and realised i did things with out knowing why lol. best tning ive learned is when in doubt throttle out isnt always the best option
great little bikes! i wish i had an old bike to take out occasionally but only have room for one in the garage. :(
Lo-fi or not, this one's a favorite cuz it reminds us why we ride 👍😁
Haha great video keep up the good work
Wish the still made these! Bullet proof, My 98 400 is still going strong, been absolutely abused. Only ever done the clutch. If they made it with a lecky leg it would be the best bike ever and you don't have to rebuild the engine every 50 hours!
best bike I ever had so much fun
Love my '85 XL350R! Bought it 18 years ago, still riding her frequently! Shame the pistons have become scarce.
I laughed all the way through that vid! I'd love to own an old xr200 like that because they are so reliable. ( I had one years ago and I ragged the hell out of it and it never let me down ever ). I currently own a 2000 xr650r and I will never part with it!
I had a 74 Elsinonore 125 it handled good for the day, Had to change he clutch plates every time I road it, Still had fun on it
I'm howling. How did I miss this vlog!?!?
obviously this is totally ironic - but I have a XR 200 - bought new ten years ago and though it may not be a KTM 250, or a Beta 430 - it is still a bike that has never let me down over 40K kms around the Philippines - and nearly always ridden like it was stolen. Can you do some videos on how to upgrade/renew the suspension, install new cam chain tensioners and guides and other critical thinking stuff...valve tuning?...love all your videos...this is the best channel on youtube...the DR 650 stuff is worth it's weight in gold!!!
Mabuhay Anton! I usually only film that XR200 when I get over to Canada occasionally... unfortunately I don't think there are enough of these bikes left to warrant a detailed mods vid, it would be pretty low on the list if I ever started a video series about mods on various bikes. 😢 And I only did the DR650 stuff because the guy doing all the mods for local riders was keen to do the video series.
Had one of these when I was younger. The only mod I'd make to one before riding today is to bend the seat frame over to the throttle side a bit like my old one. Pro tip right there.
I love mine. Perfect woods bike.
I was looking for this video since I wanted to let you know that I finally got my next "new" bike... yep, a 1985 Honda XR250R with dual carb for double the fun and double the trouble rejetting.
After many months of asking advices and even getting a video advising me to better Google it since you might already have posted that explaining hahaha I found this bike that haven't seen love for a long time so I decided to be her hero (that and my third world country budget :/ ).
Once I have started with the rebuilt, I'll post a video and I hope you have the time to watch my bike in a 2 min video not more not less.
that's great news, you can still have a pile of fun with a third world budget, and even more fun in some ways as you see that uncut gem emerge as you work on her. :)
If I cant get my wr250r review video this will have to do. Good stuff.
This video killed me. Absolutely hilarious. And to think all along I owned the most powerful bike on the planet. Erroneously, prior to gaining this understanding, I bored it and honed the cylinder head. Nay, I contend there was even more power to be had? Now I know why my knuckles drag on the ground for a week after riding, this thing pulls man, it pulls! I'm ordering an anodized fuel cap though, not sure if I picked anything else up from your videos but, the subliminal man keeps telling me to buy that darn fuel cap!
Keep the videos coming! Great tips and cool to watch you guys do things in your videos that are really tough that you just make look easy.
i suspect the modern way to access this killer engine is the AJP bikes as they used slightly updated XR250 engines, philip. another 50cc? sounds like suicide to me.
Just convinced me to buy one!!! Ha ha great video guys!!!
excellent choice sir, just remember to upgrade your life insurance too 😊
Well... Cancel my previous comment, the guy wasn't interested in my $300 offer. Damn....
And I was really looking forward to the power supporting my extremely large gonads.... Ha ha!
OH REALLY? I like this Vid!
i was putting off buying an old bike but you just made me want one
our group has been thinking of buying an old dirt bike, just to show you can do most of the same things as on a modern bike.
Do you have trouble starting it or are there any major problems
I had one when I was 18 . It beat me into submission for about 3 years with its gut wrenching power . Unfortunately I still can't ride for shit as my arms have never been the same. Fortunately my right forearm from the front break has made me a better wanker than ever.😂🤣😂
The real advantage to that bike happens when the ride is over. You can just put it away and drink a beer while your friends are busy rebuilding their top ends.
I'm getting one now!
I keep my xr 250 as a reminder of the low power experience, its all fun, just different.
this made my day...LOL Seriously, I have an xr 200 unitl now its a great bike...
Too many riders have been killed by the brake weld on these machines to even count them. Unless you can install the unobtanium brake pads, NEVER try to slow one of these beasts down with the stock brakes!
Also, a little known fact about the dual ProLink set up... Honda designed the XR200R for NASA so the astronauts could overcome atmospheres with gravity far greater than earth’s. That’s why the suspension is so rigid, and why the machine has so much raw horsepower and torque. When NASA scrapped the manned planetary missions, the need for the machine also went away.
Fortunately for us, the ace experimental test pilots who pioneered aircraft that would exceed Mach 10 and 30G inverted pulls were also involved with testing the 200R.
According to historians, the sheer testicular magnitude of those test pilots required the Honda’s to be equipped with dual ProLinks.
I hope the rider who filmed this survived the extra worldly forces that machine is capable of producing. Prayers for a speedy recovery!
it is so refreshing to finally hear the truth about these exceptional machines, brian!
Parody??? No way this is poetry in motion! Did you see anything but fun?? Disc brakes and better suspension and honda XR would rule the world! Brings back great memories of great rides and great times
we were just talking last night about how honda is crazy to not bring back the XR650R with an electric start. 😢
Love it. I ride a 125 honda with drum breaks and it's not reasuring when someone pulls out in front of you unexpectedly. But I haven't crashed yet. ;-)
The Pro-link joke is really funny! Lol
Haha! Reminds me of ripping around on my wife's ttr 230. Always a blast!
More fun than you'd like to admit.
haha i love the video guys, i ride a 2011 yz250f and i would never go near an xr200 cause its too powerful! only for the bravest.....
Running nitrous in the tank I fell out my chair lol
70 mph ....loved it , funny as hell! im in Canada so actually got the joke....
I have a 02 200 and I busted the case open and ran it dry of oil. Fixed it with some jb weld and it still runs to this day
Funny. I have the same exact bike. I actually chose this one over others because of the reliability and simplicity. I ride single track mostly, and prefer not to be stranded out in the middle of nowhere. The brakes suffice especially with the engine braking. plenty of power to have a great time, but not too much to get into trouble. and like 220lbs dry so fairly light weight and easy to pick up. The weak point imo is the front forks. In stock form they are damping rod. I installed the race tech gold valves and progressive springs and now the front suspension feels equal to the rear. I've owned newer bigger bikes and had LESS fun than I do on this. Also easy to work on and they made the engines for many years.. because they were bulletproof.
no school like the old school chico :)
Somewhere, Steve Smith is smiling at this. 💯
