XR200 Crash Course. (Woods Carnage)

[@AUSTIN_457]

I literally started using Instagram because you were posting consistent HEAT with all the bikes you rip. This longer format style is very welcome and I think you should keep it up!

[@DerekHallman]

Love this vlog style Carson! You're shredding like always. Thanks for the vid 🤙

[@MR_JESTER556]

My first bike was an XR200, love those things

[@danielknight5299]

The Honda, XR 200 R is the finest two wheel machine ever created by human kind!

[@josephdowney4919]

This just took me back to the 90’s. Can’t wait to see this built BBR style!

[@nivek663]

I have just restored a 1986 XR200 for all the right reasons. Love your video and God bless.

[@nomasker1360]

I put a xr185 engine in an 81 kx125 chassis . 210cc hi compression with a cam and the torque improvement was crazy . Great on single track . Mod your engine you'll love it !

[@alexc.2048]

got an 83 i rip from time to time. awesome woods bike. enjoyed the vid

[@user-mo8tm4jw2l]

First bike I ever owned or rode. Outgrew it in 6 months. Damn near broke it in half. So many memories on that bike I cannot even begin to lay them all out. I will ALWAYS have a real soft spot for xr200s. Damn near indestructible, run on dinosaur piss. Get you anywhere you wanna go. No problem.

[@cooganbeggs4942]

As an XR250 owner I can honestly say this made my day. Cant wait to see more of what you get up to on this beast 👍

[@EDGARMALTV]

I really love xr200...im from philippines

[@JamalInshallah]

Salamat po!

[@ITBubba1]

I love these videos. Just proves it's more about the rider than the bike.

[@60yroldRockstar-kl7mt]

I just bought a 2002 owned by a woman whose father got it for her brand new! Its fun as heck but Ill definitely be watching you guys to find out more about my silent woods wonder!!

[@wyattcampbell5644]

I have a 94 xr250 and it’s the best bike I’ve ever been on

[@helipilotbob6368]

You will have one of the biggest riding channels just keep at it! Your videos rock!

[@bikemancody2752]

OMG I just picked one up tonight. 2000 model. Gonna ARHMA build it

[@christophersmith6231]

Awesome conditions! A true PNW rider... Braap!!

[@robertrishel3685]

This kid can make any pile of shit look cool!!! Such a fluid rider!!!! Near perfection on a bike👍.

[@rochellestanley9532]

Iconic Bike.

[@derekrebel3384]

Your instagram clips were 90% of why I was on the app. Much prefer the KZbin vids. I know they are a lot of work to create, but they are much appreciated! I’ve recently switched from mtb to dirt bikes. So I’ve been starting out on clapped out 90s bikes. Don’t think I will be upgrading for a while. So much fun.

[@RED-RYDA]

Your wife takes alot of roost. She's a trooper. Cool video as always. Been using BBR stuff since I was about 11 years old on my 70 and 100. The 70 I sold but my 01 XR I will always keep. With an OG BBR pipe, Rev box, 120 kit, and springs. I think those bikes are just the perfect size for fun.

[@ChickenKing55]

This was great! Also that's about the steeziest way I've ever seen a bike unloaded. Couldn't agree more with the statement about being faster on the xr than a new 450 lol.

[@abdulrahmanamir8581]

This guy is crazy bro,i have the xl 200 and i can't wait to fix it up and get some dust on it🙌👏

[@TeamGambleBMX]

Not an XR story, but still apt: We have an XL100 that a couple had twice ridden round the South Island (New Zealand) on. The cam chain tensioner broke at some point allowing the chain to gnaw through both sides of the barrel. Someone welded it back up and it's still running today! Bombproof!!

[@cliffpearson01advr]

A 1996 was my first bike, loved it! I beat that thing around the woods for 12 years. Wish I would have kept it for a fun trail bike now!

[@No-turbo]

My first bike in 1991. It was the most indestructible machine I’ve ever owned(except for the fork seals!).

[@dirtbikeheaven1129]

XR-200, one of the all time great woods bikes. It’s great to see someone else realize this. I trophied the Blackwater 100 on one of these in 1982. I did have to replace second gear a couple of times. I was not aware that was a common problem. Looking forward to more videos on the 200.

[@twomedicine]

Might be the best video yet. Love it!!

[@Marine450x]

I have it's newer cousin, CRf230, and an CRf450x. Love both, but the older I get (into my 60s now) the more I enjoy the little 230, particularly for single track.

[@teamflanneloutdoors5631]

I’ve had the opportunity to ride many different bikes over the years but one of the funnest days was on an 86’ XR200 @ Buffalo Rock in 92’. Bought a cherry 82’ the next year, wish I’d never sold it!

[@MimiMettam]

I have a 2002 XR200 that is boss! Keep thinking I want to sell it, but now you are changing my mind!

[@BilobateDrip]

Ahhhhhhh, memories. I had a 2000 when I was 12, couldn't reach the ground comfortably, haha, but was a blast to ride

[@gregmulfort9577]

This is the bike all my buddies had in high school in the 90's. I had the xl500 that I converted for woods but everyone else had the 200's! I'm so nostalgic for these bikes and seeing this video makes me want to find one but I'm scared it might suck after being used to moderns bikes hahaha

[@Nitro-special]

Greg Thies, for my son Nicholas, age 9 size L. Awesome videos, keep it up!!

[@claireparker4240]

I am adding you on IG; we’d like to send him a shirt! Please add me and message me your info :)

[@64maxpower]

Carson is Motos new hero.

[@team_1j_jont-179]

I was ordering pitbike parts from your dad while you were probly still playing with matchbox cars. Watching your progress over the years is truly impressive. Your dad must be extremely proud of you!

[@BradenHenricksen]

Love seeing you post more on KZbin! Keep up the content. I wanna see you rip the logging roads out in Ashford. You can go for many miles out there!

[@MrBumbles2]

lol yea , just rebuilt my 96 xr 200 for the 4th time. this time its stacked 3x cam supertrap 18 disc, bigger carb. and lots of trans upgrades. spent to much on all new suspension kyb but it will get broke in and put up with all the others. my fav is my 75 xt 500 paris to dakar build. true beast with white bros suspension. frame oil cooler , supertrap ,3x cam , bored .30 over new nos trollbergs on white bros nos rims . hill climbing beast . bought new in 75 been to alaska all over

[@peacefulwarrior4078]

Had a 81 XR-200 raced it in harescrambles and then in 83 season of motocross on it in a woodsman class in DISTRICT 7 early 80's made it only halfway through the season until I completely collapsed💀 the frame from the stress of motocross racing 🤣. Was one of the funnest play bikes that had ever owned, the 99 XR- 100 gave it it a good run for its money in the play bike fun factor though .

[@STONEDARTphotos]

Best bike for the money. Looking forward to the build. Subscribed.

[@queaxx3590]

We need a garage check with all the bikes u have

[@corinohara9766]

Vids are so sick can’t wait for more 🔥

[@Rocketman0407]

Thats some badass driving. Had no idea the xr200 was that capable stock. I need to get one as a nice little offroader and for driving in town some. Upgrades I would do: Racing exhaust High flow filter PWK or tm flat slide carb 220cc big bore Performance cam 1 or 2 teeth smaller front sprocket With those upgrades it is probably ripping pretty good however a suspenion upgrade is needed if you want to live.

[@zaydenslocombe9258]

u throw this bike around so good ong

[@JeffKendallWeed]

That was great! Tempted to get my own now 😂 looks like they go for $1500-$2000 these days?

[@RT22-pb2pp]

Man in mid 80s he pro link rear end xr200 was the bike for trail riding or just as a fun dirt bike, best 4 stroke single honda made along with the 200 250 350 and 500 and 600 those bikes in the 80s were the best 4 stroke dirt bikes you could get bullet proof and a blast to ride from the 200 to the 600 all great bike.

[@DCadventure559]

Absolutely shredding bro

[@incognitoburrito2771]

I just sold 2 xr200's a 96 and a 97 put a ton of miles on both in the Colorado high county. Never let me down.

[@jeffchapman4438]

Hey Carson Hi Claire, Just wanted to put my Grandson’s in on the drawing for the T-shirts, Youth Medium and Youth Large, Thanks !! ✊

[@josemanuelbarcos9545]

Hola que corona y piñon tiene la xr 200 que se vio en el video, saludos desde argentina

[@HarborEdwin]

I had one of the first (1980's) XR 200's and it definitely was one of the best bikes I ever rode. Unless you ran it into a tree, could not crash on that thing : )

[@mikedueck]

Got an 8 and a 10 year old fan that would love a shirt! The 5 year old isn’t a fan yet, but he will be!

[@HarborEdwin]

Seriously...Take it and race the Erzbergrodeo!!! You'll have a blast and blow everyone's minds. : >

[@wild_goose_0285]

Btw may I suggest putting 2 to 4 psi of air in your front shocks. They'll be vastly better. I own a 1996 XR200R. Only buy if the engine is stock and not been tampered with by someone who does not know what they're doing. I've had mine since September 2022 and it's now February 2023; and I still haven't been able to get it working. I've only recently taken it to a professional shop to have it worked on. But please, if you want to buy an XR, do so I think they are great bikes for the money. But be sure they are bone stock in regards to the motor. Otherwise you're gonna potentially spend at least twice its value trying to get it working.

[@TDD902]

Got dayum son you can ride that backyard track good

[@tommylee9339]

Do some big booters on it when it drys up like the xr100! Keep the videos Rollin, I'd watch every one of them!

[@callmezop]

She Really Went for those laps!

[@jimmitchell3331]

That suspension though!

[@colinbowman8816]

Oh, is this the gas version of the Surron Ultra Bee I've been looking for? Honda made it 30 years ago! Needs a bunch of lightweighting with carbon fiber and Ti of course, it's a bit heavier than a little electric bike. Looks like fun! I want one!

[@chadwhite7290]

Can't believe u made that bike run that good

[@LostIn207]

I've got a 96 xr200 with CR85R forks and xr250 aluminum swingarm and shock. Its not great at alot but does many things well. I will likely never sell it.

[@k.hummel487]

Karen Hummel Cole Hummel-youth small We sure miss seeing you around Washington now that we are in TN!

[@whiskeythrottle8680]

Very sick I have an 86 xr200r wicked fun

[@picsnation4819]

Yo Carson you’re the man bro!

[@jmac636]

Xr200’s are being built and raced at the vintage races now. We did a race at Diamond Dons Ahrma national last year where kevin Windham, John Short, Blake Wharton, Vernon Mckiddie, world champ Trampas Parker and several others raced. They also just raced in their own KING OF DAYTONA xr200 class at Daytona this week. Mickey Dunlap from the old Powroll company is doing a bunch of the guys engines. Look into it Carson and come race with us at Diamond Dons in September. (Can only run a max of 204cc and must have the original frame and drum brakes)

[@andrewvincent1579]

You’re a complete unit dude ha.

[@danb37]

Kudos to your videographer!! I have a 2001 xr200. I'll buy merch

[@ethansmallsandthescaldeddo7645]

get the rear shock off of a 86 to 89 model to get 3 way adjustability and the front end off of a 96 to 04 xr400 for the same reason

[@cfisher642]

Obviously 1st hing would be upgrading susp to stop bottoming. Hoping the build will mostly include parts and ideas that we can incorporate onto ours.

[@JohnHowerton137]

I think I put 85w trans oil in the forks of my XR80 back in the day to give it some hold up 😂 My late friend Craig Kanen 4-stroke guru (your dad may know him) had a fast high-revving XR200 before high performance 4-strokes were a thing. I think Eric Loney (local pro) might have raced it, or at least wanted to race it at the 4-Stroke National in 1998 maybe?

[@alecdeanyt]

Hey I have that bike except i rebuilt it with a 05 crf 250 front end and a complete rebuild everywhere else. Very nice and also a dual fmf exhaust too

[@kevin-ll9nx]

Lol awesome I had 85 xr200r loved it

[@pbmachines972]

👏👏👏🇺🇸nothing like a hot supper

[@chadwhite7290]

Wow guy made it run good

[@troybolton6888]

Yoooooooo Carson love the vlogs I hope u turn this thing into a beast

[@coletonburbridge7747]

Super entertaining keep it up

[@morgangrenander5941]

Thanx Carson

[@Kawiboy]

That thing handles better than my 22 CRF by Far 💪✊😉

[@albundy6804]

Just watched a vid of u 9 yrs ago testing the 85 2013..

[@tcrides2137]

It will be awesome when you guys put the BBR touch to it! Great old bikes, I miss my xr 250

[@TN_HondaDad]

1:38 WHOA!! Nice.............

[@1Gagemac]

More torture tests please 😂🙌🏻

[@bigfoot-id8bv]

Try to find an xr200e next, same motor, twin shock fun!

[@donnyvedder3260]

Dude you have a sick KDX and you choose this, shake my head lol

[@christophersmithsonian3350]

I love The XR 200R back in the 80s Mine was called the Fire Breather 13to 1 compression needle bearing cam titanium valve springs polished cases ECT ECT I would Wheelie that thing thru all the gears My motor was built by Greg Stevenson who is a engineer at NASA now we acheived 13 to 1 not with a domed Piston .Greg Stevenson was the guy that would go to the 4 stroke Nationals in the late 70s early 80s and Smoke White brother s, Powell (sp) ? All the big names you could look at our motors and they looked stock ,pipe ,carb . Instead of like white Bros big carb fat exhaust stroker Crank .Our bikes were faster and looked stock.😎 I was so sad when some theive stole my Fire Breather from Oceanside .It was called the Fire Breather because when I down shifted Fire would breath out the exhaust.

[@garretcowan1484]

Sick video

[@tecnocumbia]

[@racetronics]

Who needs second gear, anyway? Epic!

[@dirtshart]

Find ya some pre 1990 xr200 or xr250 forks and if its a 89 xr250 you can also steal the 18 rear wheel and the aluminum swing arm can be made to fit

[@rob12449]

Hard to believe how fast you were riding that.

[@sagenbabin8786]

I hear a sound every time the suspension compresses idk if it’s the shock lickage or tire rubbing the supertrapp But damn that’s the hardest I’ve seen an xr200 get sent I can’t wait to get mine running

[@krystianportmann9305]
