Well, maybe it also being subjected to lesser emission regulations than a more recent model with a similar engine leaves a more reasonable power and torque reserve.

Pretty much. The newer dr200 uses the carb they swapped to in the 90s and the dr125 from the 90s also uses the same carb. Looking at swapping to the I think 31mm carb off one of those from the 26mm carb that comes on this one. Supposedly nets me 14hp from the 12hp these come with. Newer DR200 is still grandfathered into whatever year it made its last change to the model. Judging by the looks its probably still grandfathered in around 1992.
