I have been looking at Kdx 200s lately, but there is a good deal on a 220. I had originally crossed the 220 off the list of bikes I wanted because of the lack of top end. I love my friends Kdx 200 with PC Platinum 2. I worry that if i buy the 220 i will wish i had waited for a 200. How would a 220 with Boyesen reeds and an Fmf Rev pipe compare to the 200 with the PC Platinum II?

It'll be fine.
I had a 220 for years, rode several others 200's, the difference is not worth worrying about.

Pipe, bored carb, corrected head squish, and a bit of porting will give the 220 plenty of top end. I prefered it to my piped 200, and is the reason I bought another 220.

The 220 is THE bike to have for trail / tight woods riding , Incredible low end power , almost 4 stroke like.
The 200 is a very good bike , just has power more focused towards midrange / top end.

Both Great Bikes overall , either can be tuned to fit your needs.

The 220 with a rev pipe has plenty of top end , ad the 35mm carb and you have even more .

BUY THE 220 !!!!!!! Install a PC Platinum 2 pipe and YOU'LL LOVE IT

I have had both an H and a 220, as well as an E. Properly set-up they were all about equal, as Karl noted. The only issue with a 220 is the top end as far as rebuild, you'll want to get rid of the OEM piston first thing which will add a couple hundred to the cost of the bike. I prefer the 220 motor for the riding I do.

If we're in agreement about the 220 as a preference , then why agree with Karl ? Their not the same.

The fact that both bikes are very similar is valid, as is my own preference. I didn't say they were the same, I said set-up they were about equal, and if you were shopping for a bike there is no reason to get hung up on 200 or 220, as they can both be made to work quite well on any terrain. Though I prefer the 220 for it's focus on the low end, it doesn't change the fact that the bikes (especially for a new rider) are very close.
