If you dont want to be passed a Suzuki Hyabusa is a good pick.

If what you mean is a bomb-proof bike that can handle rough conditions, go off-road when necessary, etc., for your budget, I suggest one of the higher end rigid chrome-moly MTBs from the 1990s. Something like a Trek 830 or Giant Yukon. You can get them in decent condition for<$200 which leaves you a little wiggle room for repairs, upgrades or accessories.

If a road is impassible then no bike is any good, you're better off with a Cessna 172 or, preferably, one of these Bell 206.

There aren't very many places you can't ride on an ordinary rigid fork mountain bike. Might be hard to find and you'll have to settle for one that has a suspension fork.

Toughen up !
In Cyclocross, if you could not ride it , you shouldered yout bike and ran,
carrying the bike.
Example; the 3 peaks bike race, in UK, (but these were not $200 bikes)

I hear some crazy prices from you guys on here.
I sold this impressively tidy Marin Alpine Trail on eBay earlier this year, immaculate SLX kit, Mavics, and NOS RockShox, and was happy to get £80 for it.
Course, it wouldnt pass the unpassable road..
You can get a really, really nice used MTB here for £150 and stick a pair of 2.5in tyres on it, end up with something really competent.
