clutch heavy?

[feelstranger]

hello all,
As soon as I acquired my 200 I was surprised at how 'heavy' - or should I say hard to push - my clutch is.  It feels and sounds smooth otherwise and I guess I figured that was they way they are.  
Well, I was driving around today and was thinking about it again and decided to ask the list - are the 200 clutches typically heavy?
I ride a bike more than I drive, not to mention hiking and skiing so I'm a little surprised to find myself feeling like always taking it out of gear at every light so I can let the clutch out.  My SO dislikes driving the car if in stop and go situations.  
typical?
I'm guessing that someone is going to tell me there is a pedal pressure range listed in the Bentley...
Is the Bomb at all involved in this system because mine is shot.
Thanks
