Stihl makes a rear handle for the MS200, that would be a real (safe) ripper for sure. :)

edit: by safe, I meant safer than the top handle version. ;)

The rear handle MS200 is a real treat, light with lots of punch, but a little pricey for a casual user saw. I recently talked a landscaper customer into trying one, he had been looking at an MS170 but would have killed it. He winced at the tab but loves the saw.

The MS200 have allways been a rear handle saw - the top handle one is the MS200T.
I agree with you on the safety issue!  :)
