Lol. I had a Buell XB12 1200, and to step down to a Van Van 200 was quite the transition. I love the bike. You're right... so much fun! Congrats on passing the course.
So you got rid of the TW and got a van van you got rid of your Camaro and got a minivan, I think we’re two episodes away from meeting your new boyfriend. 😂😂😂 Sorry. Has to 😂😂
@@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
I've never heard of a man claim he has "worked on his motorcycle" when the engine is fully stock. You've decorated your bike.... Like a virgin high school kid does with his first moto
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...

@@OffGridandWhiskey Unfortunately my riding days are over. That last heart attack did me pretty bad. My left leg / foot is always the size of a football and walking isn't easy. Always out of breath and BP just won't come down.
Love my 2017 Van Van. I have the T-rex racing skid plate, engine guard, and hand guards. Added a Hagon shock and gold valve emulators. 7500 miles on it now.
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.
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!_
Just passed my course yesterday with the vanvan 200 exact bike like yours, mind you I have a 1600cc Harley and this was SO MICH FUN TO RIDE

I just bought a flat in Palm Springs and changed my name to Randy Bear.... wait...
This is Gr8 n so are you!!
Keep up fun videos that get people like me to subscribe!
Hey. I appreciate the support. Glad we're on the same page!
"""cool" can you steal me one? I want a Van Van. Luv that seat
Randy Bear's 5-Finger Discount is open for bitness! The seat rocks. Honestly, it's a tight ride.

I drove it home using the Honda Van.
@@OffGridandWhiskey :0 A van down by the RIVER!

That is still "work on" His bike. What are you smoking?

It's gonna be okay. Mellow. Mellow.... Nothing can replace the Squatch Rocket, but the Van Van is pretty fun.
never heard of a vanvan.. pretty cool, I see a 2018 black/red on Facebook marketplace with 300 miles on it for $4k
I saw one in Seattle sell for $3,500 the other day. 2 in Portland at a dealer for $5k. Wait for a stolen one. Lol
With the fuel injection upgrade I think even Greta will have a big smile on that carbonized face!
How dare you buy a Suzuki Van Van Van!
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.
Don't be jealous. You know you want one. All rack and plates on standby.

Get better buddy! I'm sorry to hear the riding is over for you, thinking about and hope you start feeling better.

I can't wait to put miles on it!
The comment about finding neutral on the TW. Thank god it’s not just me.
It's been a hicky on my weiner since day one. Just never goes away!
Both?
Both.... at the same time!

Don't apologize. OG&W is not for everyone.
Whoa buddy, I want me a Van Van bad bad
What are you waiting for?
@@OffGridandWhiskey You to buy me one big guy
Awesome.... next a Kawasaki?
If it's as HOT as the Suzuki!

Lol. Yes, is that the same Toyota van with 'FREE CANDY' spray painted on the side?
Just get on with it.
That's what she said!

I really appreciate the support! It's like Dolly Parton's Cross Your Heart bra. Keep the comments coming.
The Suzuki may be faster and easier to work on but it looks like a dog turd
Lol. Yeah... not near as cool looking as the Tdub. I'll see if chicks dig it.
Traitor .....lol
Right? It was basically a steal.... I couldn't pass it up.
