I've never had a 200X, but I do have a 250SX. I've had it since the day it came home to me from the dealer. 200X=sport machine. 250sx=sports utility machine. The 250Sx is good for 50-55mph. If you want to go fast buy a 85 or newer 250R or 350X. The 250R's are a lot easier to get parts for and have lots of aftermarket available for them. I'm not knocking the 350X because it GOES. My 250sx is getting a little "tired" after 17 years of use and regular maintenance. I think I'll rebuild it for the first time in 18 years this winter.
Are y'all sure about that top speed for a 250SX? That seems a little high. I ride one occasionally that is stock and in fact is nearly showroom mint. However, I would never guess its top speed is that high. If it is, it certainly don't feel that fast. I would guess maybe 45-50 mph max.
Regardless, they are great machines. Great power and much fun, and wonderful workers to boot. I sure love 'em!
what kinda sx's are you guys riding? mine does 65. i clocked it the other day with a radar gun. its bone stock right down to the original plastic. they are fast, they may not feel it, but they are. they can beat any stock blaster around too. i've beaten two already, and one had fmf pipes and a jet kit. you guys should research the sx more. its a lot faster than you think.

I have done research, AWWWWW heck just go here and read I've been through this, and be sure and read the artical in my link....... HERE
HERE IS INFORMATION FROM KNOWS ALOT, FROM A FORMER FOURM. I HOPE THIS HELPS THE PEOPLE THAT SAY THERE UTILITY BIKES OUT RUN SPORT BIKES!!!!
This was on a thread on 3wheeler.org posted by MR. ATC. This should end the mass confusion in earlier posts. Radar and GPS are the only way to accurately measure speed...
"the end all list... TOP SPEED of "my" trike
here is a list of the "aproximate" Average top speed of the majority of the most popular 3Wheeled ATV's. this list is based on severall criteria including magazine articals and test, manufactures "claimed" top speed, ( before lawsuits the manufactures were not afraid to post top speed in there spec sheets), and personall experiance using such equpiment as radar guns, atv mounted factory aproved and tested speedometers, side by side riding with comparable ( i.e. XL on-off road m/c's) by riding on flat paved sufaces on distance's of over two miles. (how fast your buddy, the cops, or whoever had to accelerate to to catch up to you on your trike is not the same).
NOTE, this is Based on brand new showroom stock 3 wheelers. NO modifications or 15yr plus machines. rebuilt or not. (there is more to a rebuild then just piston and rings).
