I’ve begun searching the CL for another 200x. I never thought I’d miss that dumb thing but..
The problem is I can’t sit and search CL hourly for deals. I’ve missed out on 3 bikes so far because of this. (The cheap bikes usually last about 2-4 hours.)
Can anyone recommend one of the Craigslist apps that sends an alert when something pops up that meets certain criteria?

Biggest idiotic bone-headed configuration of an ATV, ever.
Oh, gee, it bucks people off and then rolls over them, whenever you take a turn faster than a slow walking pace.
Who could have ever seen that coming?
Turn the geometry around... and then you have something. There are snow-mobiles, and off-road bikes, even the flotation-tire Rokon 2-wheeled motorcycle. There are CanAm Spyders for the street... and there are 4-wheel ATVs galore... but I do wonder a bit why not a reverse-trike ATV, PROPERLY done with two wheels forward, and a simpler single rear driven wheel...
But really, I’d rather have a Howe and Howe tracked vehicle, like a ripsaw-type vehicle.

Try and wait for the holy grail! You won’t be sorry (unless you hurt yourself with it). We had a 200X too about 15 years ago. I really wanted a 350X but they were hard to find back then so pretty much damn near impossible to find now. but the 250R will always be the best of the best ATC out there.

I would love a 250R. Such a sexy beast.
I want the 200x again out of familiarity. I could out scramble Quads twice it’s size on tight trails.
The 350X will grace my garage in the future too. 88 mph and random/unexpected wheelies? Fun stuff.

The only people to get hurt on these probably shouldn’t have been on one to begin with.
I’ve been hurt more on the YZ250 and Maico 490 I rode as a kid than I’ve ever been hurt on a trike.

That may be true, but the laws of physics are what they are, and angular momentum does not favor a triangle in that orientation relative to the vector of motion and centripetal force when turning.
I am sure there are people who survived driving Reliant Robins, too, that doesn’t mean it is less of an idiotic design, when simply running the layout the other way, two-wheels-forward, solves ALL of those problems.
