I bought the XR200 last year and I've put a few dozen miles on the bike, through moderately rough terrain and it's held up well. The rear suspension was a bit of overkill for me as I'm not riding rugged downhill slopes (yet) but I'd rather have it & not need it now than need it & not have it later. I like that the rear suspension's rigidity can be easily adjusted with the turn of a steel ring, that's prevented from slipping by another ring that sits behind it. I've never owned a bike with a disc brake so I find that pretty cool (the XR200 shown here has a front caliper brake however). I bought the bike in white resulting in more noticeable scratches, dings, dents & dirt but overall it's a good-looking bicycle. The gear shift is built into the grips, I've accidentally shifted while riding but that's hardly a design flaw, I just need to get accustomed to the bike. My only complaint is cosmetic, the welds aren't clean, they appear sloppy but I managed to carefully clean them up w/ a rotary tool & grinding stone then repainted the areas. Time will tell if this bike is as durable as my old-school freestyle Mongooses (Mongeese?)...lol
