MC4 rear, and extreme six days front.
tussock, im not sure, I can go if I want but theres a plan for a long easter weekend riding up on a mates farm.
You doing tussock?
As for the enduro, the results havent been posted yet but after some minor clicker softening of the forks, I pulled some pretty awesome test times, the times I saw were about 10 spots higher than the previous 2 rounds, just from the new bike.
And the 125, iv still got it, its pretty sad looking at the moment, so maybe tidy it up then flick it off, but for the time, its my practice bike

GSP, iv only had the 200 out on 2 rides yet, but the first thing I noticed was how much smoother the engine is, it just has torque, it will happily lug around in 3rd and 4th wheras I found the 125 would not do this as obligingly as the 200.
Chassis wise, the 200 feels exactly the same as the 125, even though the legs it doesnt feel any fatter, and I still have the 125 and have done back to back rides in my backyard.
The suspension is just as predictable as on the 125, tracks over roots and uneven ground very well.
It feels nearly as flickable, maybe not quite as much as the 125 due to slightly more mass and inertia, but still extremely maneuverable.
I only weigh ~140lbs, so the engine differences were pretty obvious.
But the overall difference between the bikes would be that the 200 is just easier to ride, less effort to ride at the same pace, with no noticeable difference in agility. Hope that answers some of your questions.
As for the enduro, I finished 4th in the intermediate 0-200 two stroke class on saturday.
Heres a video of one of the terrain tests, this isnt me riding, but the winner Chris Birch, the same Chris who won the roof of africa, twice
