The 200 and 220 are essentially the same bike aside from a few differences. The 220 comes with an o-ring chain standard. The main difference lies in the top end. the 220 has a smaller 33mm carb, larger cylinder bore, and different porting. It is designed with a primary emphasis on low end power and throttle control. It has more bottom end grunt than the 200, but it revs out much quicker. It's powerband is much more like a 4t trail bike, while the 200 retains at least some of that two stroke midrange "hit". If you spend more time in the upper rev range, the 200 is a better choice. If you lug and short shift, the 220 will probably suit you better.
