Any dealers with stock in USA?

The only thing that really scares me the most about the XP is the 34.7" seat height

I am 6' 2" and my inseam is 32" and being a beginner here, I would like a firm grip on the ground while stopped at a light and not have it tip over on me to the sight of others watching...

How is the seat height for those who have one?

How bright is the headlight at night?

Firstly, the QLink XP200 is a very well built, reliable little motorcycle. If you want to buy a new bike, it will be hard to beat the value of the QLink XP200. However, if you are willing to buy a used Japanese bike, you can certainly find some exceptional values for the same amount of money, if you are willing to be patient.

The XF200 has a much lower saddle height, but the XP200 is much more trail worthy, without sacrificing any street capabilities. Therefore, I would prefer the XP200, myself.

I am the same height as you, but I have 30-inch inseam. Even after lowering my CRF250X by 2.1-inches, it still has a 35.1-inch saddle height. Given your size, I strongly suggest you get the taller, XP200. That saddle height will serve you well. These bikes are very light, and you will easily be able to keep both feet flat on the ground with a 32-inch inseam. If you get a lower saddle than 34.7-inches, you will probably regret the decision, and you might feel like a bear riding a bicycle.

Spud is correct on all counts. The headlight is poor as it is only 35w and non-adjustable. Some have gone with 45w and even up to 60w bulbs. When I had my XF200 (recently sold), I changed the headlight to one that was adjustable and was able to handle a 60w bulb.

Indeed, the suspension will sag when you sit on the bike. If the XP200 headlight employs an H4 bulb, you can install a standard, H4, 55W/60 bulb without any problems.

Steve, you're taller than average, and you'll appreciate the 34.7" seat height, as others have said here. The preload is likely adjustable on the rear shock, so you can determine how much it sags.
