Not my bike, I just found it.

I think the RMZ bodywork fits the small two stroke engine very good. Awesome project Smile

If you look at the frame you can see he only welded different engine mounts Smile

That's a cool bike. Makes you wonder if there are actually more than just a half dozen of us two stroke fanatics out there doesn't it? Smile Keep seeing these projects get more and more creative.

There was a current YZ125 up for sale for a good while that had the KTM200 treatment. I kept looking at it as the price continued to drop thinking it would be one of those ultimate bikes. Fortunately someone else bought it so I wouldn't have to!

It is a fact that two-strokes are the most popular bikes on Vital and Jason Lawrence is the most popular rider. Combining the two would cause the Earth to tilt on its axis. Add Damon Bradshaw as the team manager and the known universe would implode upon itself.

Let me translate your latest two sentences for everyone else...

"If the two were combined, I would seldom leave the house, and my right forearm would be the size of Popeye's!" Wink

And your camera would be employed, and his ass would be kissed. I suppose that's a fair assessment, yea?

Why not drop a 380 engine in it?

That's sweet. Is it just luck that the pipe fit? It seems like that'd be a sticking point, so to speak.

I'm wondering about the swingarm pivot area, and how the engine fit into the frame right there.

The 200SX has zero vibration. I've owned a few. I also have had 250's and 300's that did vibrate so maybe that's what you were thinking of altough the new models vibrate very little in those sizes as well.

I am guessing he fixed the exhaust to the frame spar. Maybe he welded a bracket to the spar (very bad idea if that is the case)

Must have some torque too if it was able to get a 450 rider like that off the ground.

What kind of pipe does he have on the bike? It looks really fat compared to a 125 or 150 pipe.

He's pretty thin actually.

He has gotten banged up in the past and now wears one of those poofy air vests under his jersey.

The 200 has a larger pipe than the 125/150.

Usually the 200s have a wrap around pipe but this one is similar to the 150 so i thought it might be a custom made pipe.

Cameron is the most anal-attentive-bike fanatic known to man.

He let me ride that bike and holy shit folks....I wish it were a production bike because I'd have one. Handles awesome. The power isnt there as much as I'd like compared to my yz250 I'm riding now. But wooooooweeeeeeeee.....awesome bike. And anyone that can't throw a leg over it should need to get on antidepressants.

I must of missed one response reading through the thread.

Whoever said they vibrate alot is wrong (with this bike atleast). It doesn't vibrate at all and I felt right at home on it in 1 lap. I even told Cameron I expected the bike to vibrate and handle like garbage. It did not. It's a flawless build and should go into a museum when he's bored with it (which should be by next year and he will be building and riding some other cool concoction. )

Looks like maybe it is an old SX200 motor which did not have the 250 looking pipe rather than one of the current XC/offroad models
