If straight-line speed is your priority, the 450MT takes the lead. With 22 HP more than the DR200S, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the DR200S has a clear advantage. Weighing in 69kg less than the 450MT, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the 450MT. Its seat height is 45mm lower than the DR200S, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the 450mt offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
