When I was 16 (2001) I bought a 1995 XR200r. I’m now 38 and all summer long, i ride it every single day. I’m a farmer so it always takes me to the fields and pastures. Starts first kick and is as reliable as death and taxes! Love that bike!!!

[@mytwocents4892]

I am 60 and I bought a new xr200 in 93 it has been nothing but fun. I use to ride with guys that had two stroke race bikes they were always amazed that I could keep up with them in the woods

[@evil14life]

Beautiful bike. 2002 was the last year for the xr200. Definitely a machine worth buying. These 200’s where everywhere when I was a kid in the 90’s.

[@saleenmustang302]

Yep and being replaced to the Honda CRF150F And CRF230F.

[@skualpascal6684]

but none @Honda France :(( ...only 125 & 250

[@tgbeam]

2000 XR200 was the first new dirt bike I got as a kid. I miss that thing. It was so fun on trails

[@saleenmustang302]

Pretty Cool

[@grantfurr580]

The Honda XR 200 is probably the best off road dirtbike everbuilt i had this bike in 2001 got it brand new i smoked 400 Ex's TTR 225's rode in mud water dirt woods for 2 years straight kept the oil changed washed it before i put it up sold it in 2003 and it was still running in 2019 unbelievable

[@wendyheller8916]

Had an 01 that needed top end rebuild, fork seals and wheel bearings. Once I had it back together and pulled the silencer , I rode the hell out of it. Never did it miss a beat. Whoever gets this gem will have SMILES FOR MILES! Definitely buy over new garbage.

[@BIG_BODWELL]

my first full time bike was 96 xr200r i learned alot on tht thing crashed it at 45mph and still rode it home bike couldnt be killed

[@HarleyHawk1]

Sweet. We have a 2002 XR650R. I also have a bone stock 1997 XR200R that I was riding in the snow with studded tires today. Great machines

[@dementedspirit1359]

Damn good play bike, it’s bulletproof, and one hell of a Christmas present. It looks absolutely perfect

[@tommoniz3909]

I was about 13 yrs old when my two best friends dad came home with two 2002 ttr90s and a 02 xr200 fresh off the showroom floor for their birthdays. When they outgrew the Ttrs my friend Scott began riding his dads xr200 and absolutely ran it into the ground. Bolts missing, forks leaking, bent wheels and broken spokes you name it. So from about 2006 all the way till about 2 months ago that bike sat in the back of their funeral home till his dad asked if I could get it running. A quick clean of the carb and it fired right up. I went right through it trying to bring it back to as close as I could within reason to what it looked like when it was new. Doing It brought back a bunch of memories the bike still had two hooks on the rear fender bolts we must’ve used to pull a sled with it or something at one point lol.

[@Davido50]

Great bikes! Even Ken Sr has to love this 4-stroke thumper 💯👍🏻

[@KaplanCycles]

Right on!

[@peacefulwarrior4078]

Had a 1981 XR-200 with a bench flowed head on it that I raced harescrambles with as well as many many hours of woods riding on it ! The only thing that killed it was when I decided to race motocross on it for almost half a season in a woodsman class in DISTRICT #7 until I ended up breaking the frame in six places 😳🤣 Didn't know whether to cry or laugh when I discovered the massive damage that I DID to it . That little bike wasn't the fastest or even had good suspension on it but sure was a great and extremely reliable and nimble bike to ride ! My nickname I had for it was ONE KICK ! 99 % of the time that XR would start with just ONE KICK 💪😎

[@AustenARW]

My first motorcycle was a 2002 Honda XR200R and yes, I really DID unwrap it next to the Christmas tree that year. I had learned to ride on a 1973 Honda CL100 in our backyard and this was a BIG upgrade. Leading up to Christmas morning, my dad had done a lap or two in our backyard (when I was at school) and had accidentally spun the tire while letting the clutch out on our deck and I had noticed the mark and wondered where it came from. I was convinced that it had not been from the CL100 because it was a bigger mark than what it could've done. He had to say it was from the 100 to not spoil the surprise. I still had no idea about the new motorcycle though and did not see it coming. Needless to say, it was the best Christmas gift ever and my parents completely wrapped the entire bike up next to the Christmas tree inside the house. The factory muffler had a unique "chirp" from the spark arrestor whenever you'd let off the throttle or decelerated. I never modified that bike in any way unlike the bikes I own today. It was 100% reliable, I took very good care of it and yes, the build quality was high. I can still remember months after Christmas not fully believing it was truly mine seeing it in the garage. It had a unique "new bike smell" that lasted quite I while and I still can smell it. Many dirt bike trips with dad on that bike!! The bike that I replaced it with was a Honda XR650L.

[@Davido50]

Honda doesn't make bikes like this anymore sadly. I cant even stand Honda vehicles! Yamaha is prob biggest maker of every kind of new machine these days + KTM/GasGas group.

[@angeloreyes357]

That xr 200 are still popular in the philippines..so as DT125s..KMX125s Honda XLR200s..still precious machines..lots of available parts too for trail ridin..most dirtbike enthusiasts always got a place in their hearts for classic dirtbikes.❤

[@bike7547]

I live in the philippines, XR200 was phased out since 2010. Most XR's today are modified to CRF which is sad to see and right now I'm restoring my father's XR make it all stock and brand new, i always love this machine since i was 12

[@JeffKatra]

Beard is looking majestic. Let it ride!

[@christiangreatcarolino3015]

Xr 200R beautiful sana all

[@W1RMD]

It's amazing how similar that engine looks like the one in my 1984 ATC 200 three wheeler! That's a kick A$$ little motor! I've hauled a LOT of fire wood with my ATC 200. I always liked these older designed Honda 4 stroke singles. The new owner is going to enjoy this. Thanks for showing! Also, I am curious if you guys can do a video on your "junk" cycles also. I'm sure you have a hidden gold mine of parts/ restoration bikes some where.

[@michaelwhite8493]

Man you really find some gems!

[@evolutionofcando379]

just got a beautiful used one for my beginner son, great bike

[@borehole8631]

I have to always add on as I think. I really look the look of the older XR bikes. That is a perfect bike. They don't make them anymore. A beautiful unmolested bike that is.

[@vwmetal66]

That thing is insane. You never see them with the baffle in the muffler anymore. And the additional baffle tip is what Mr. Kaplan would call unobtainium.

[@jmac636]

There’s actually another tiny holed cap that’s held on by two bolts that is missing from what I could tell. I recently bought a 2001 xr200r all original except bars and chain. It still has that part on the original exhaust.

[@sharzan]

That was my first dirtbike omg I've looked and looked for one !!

[@rochellestanley9532]

Love them, owned 2 , great bikes.

[@dalebirbeck5344]

What a beauty!!!!

[@borehole8631]

That is nice. Those bikes last forever, nice ones are impossible to find. Most have 3 million hours on them. That'll make a great Xmas present for someone. Hard to find a 200 is this shape.

[@JoshNY607]

Bikes absolutely beautiful all it needs is a loud exhaust on it

[@abbybonilla4511]

I remember my pops having the big one the 600 but he swapped for a Suzuki LT-Z 400 said it was too heavy. Years later I learn ATV's on that same Suzuki.

[@cndboy6646]

great bikes very reliable. that one sure is clean

[@KaplanCycles]

Sure is!

[@sonnyseabury4051]

Definitely a sharp looking bike, that doesn't look like it was ever ridden.

[@jpesicka492]

This would make a fun play bike.

[@SteveHacker]

I have one IDENTICAL to this! FANTASTIC bike! 😊😊😊

[@suny874]

Xr is the best! 😎🤟 We have such a vintage 650R! hey Ken do you want to come to Hungary? 😉👍 Let's do a ROCKVILLE here too! You have a lot of fans here too!

[@ShaunSavage-kl9pd]

My atc200 was good till stator coil burned out river riding. Doing a xr500 engine swap love hondas

[@motofunk1]

Put it in the museum....

[@tomfresh9478]

I believe that engine has been around since the early 90s. I had a 1992 and that engine looks very familiar 30 years later .

[@dylanhood6089]

Engine was introduced 1979.

[@edsoncabalquinto3774]

WOW the best xr 200

[@markkus1134]

Grew up on XR200’s

[@earl6969]

I had a virtual row of these bikes over the years and regret selling any of them. You can put anyone on one and they'll be riding trails by noon.

[@DetroitFettyghost]

Rockin the beard, looks good!

[@braxtonbosch2872]

I really wish I could afford that beautiful bike

[@chrispulieri9543]

I'm about to buy a 85 XR200 R

[@numbaoneUFCfan]

How often do the valves have to be adjusted on something like that?

[@sambuvca22]

THATS AWESOME. Id like to bring my son down to visit the museum. any events coming up at the shop?

[@KaplanCycles]

The museum is closed til spring. Shop is open 9 to 5 m to f. No events til spring

[@robert-nb7hw]

i think you should keep that for riding around the museum and dont get it dirty

[@justinlobdell6006]

About to buy a nice used 01 200r is it worth it in your opinion? Really love the videos and your knowledge !!!!

[@KaplanCycles]

Yes, definitely

That's a big problem all these companies are making things in China now I know you had a Schwinn bicycle as a kid Ken and it was made in Chicago Illinois wasn't it let's start making stuff in America Mexico Italy England anywhere but China Husqvarna motorcycles were made in Sweden that's just quit making stuff in China we don't need to make stuff in China we need to make stuff in other countries Mexico Canada USA Italy different places anywhere but China sometimes I wish I was the kid so I could see how long it would take me to bust one of those new twin frames probably about as long as it would have took a huffy back in the day which one frames you couldn't break them back when they were made in Chicago they did not break your bent rims but you didn't break the frame anyways yep that's a beautiful Honda XL running forever quit making stuff in China that's all I have to say about it let's make America and the other countries great again
