      Randy Bear's 5-Finger Discount is open for bitness! The seat rocks. Honestly, it's a tight ride.

      @@OffGridandWhiskey I really do want 1 cool bike. I was looking at the tw200. I never heard of the van van. The fatass-seat sold me. Try riding a xr100 when you weight 220lbs and have smashed ur tailbone as a kid doing wheelies. Lets just say I don't like to wheelie anymore or sit chairs without padding or skinny dirt bike seats. Can't wait to see what shenanigan's you get into with the VAN VAN. May be put the Van Van in a van man! >>>REEEEEEEEEEEE

    It's not the fuel injection it's the gearing. Also less ground clearance, less suspension travel and ya better put a skid plate on it.

      First, you claim I'm a 'Man.' Then you say I'm a 'virgin kid.' Those statements are seriously at odds with each other. I detect a lot of jealousy. Tell me about your mother...

    No preaching to the choir here. I do 90% or more of my riding on the pavement. And most of that under 50 mph. And that's where I like to ride when I am just out enjoying the day in small town Idaho. Or the outskirts anyway. FI means instant startup, never skips a beat and...._and_ gives me 100 miles per gallon when ridden sensibly. An oil cooler helps to keep the engine happy on hot days too. I am not bouncing off of rocks ever so don't need no skid plate. Big fat tires and big fat comfy seat mean lots of time riding with big smiles all the time. I have other bikes to ride if I am going somewhere but if I am just out for a little jaunt just to do so? Yeah- the Van Van is for me. Sure happy that I got one.

    • @OffGridandWhiskey
      @OffGridandWhiskey  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Those are great insights. I appreciate the feedback. I'm happy about the Van Van, too. Except I got a flat tire minutes after filming the video. So technically, I've hardly ridden it. But it was clear, in the 8 miles I did ride, it's a winner.
      I'll probably keep it fairly stock, too. My Tdub is perfect for the offroading.
      Love the FI!

      @@OffGridandWhiskey No reason much to do anything to the VV. While they make aftermarket mufflers for the bike, it is so well tuned that any pipe you put on it you will actually lose horsepower with. Besides, like you said, that big can is so dang quiet that you can hear a jaybird fart 100 feet away. I have a small windshield on mine (why not?) and some T-Rex crash bars for the..ahem!.. occasional whoopsie when playing in the dirt. I have been at a red light and someone in a car next to me will ask me what it is and then ask me if I want to sell it. Nope. Get your own. This thing is just _too much fun!_
