My first bike was a 200cc 86 honda fatcat back in 95 , smiling from ear to ear every time I got on it , that little bike was a head turner and i loved it 🥰
Enjoy your new bike, ride to your ability and not someone else s, stay safe. tip, before starting a cold bike, sit on bike, pull clutch, put bike in 2nd and still pulling clutch rock forward/back, you should feel the clutch let go. This will stop the bike jumping forward when you first start and just put in gear.
@ronaldembree3932 Thanks, I was wondering why it was jumping like that. I already have 2500 kilometers on the clock. Not to say that's a lot, but I'm feeling pretty comfortable on it now. I've even taken it on a sketchy single track.😃
@@westcoastdualsportadvent-cj5qn Yes im 5”9-5”10. Seems like it shouldn’t be too small for me then:) it seems just the perfect size for you, like it doesnt look like you dwarf it.
@@westcoastdualsportadvent-cj5qn sure, just saw the BW350 yesterday, super rad too, didnt knew this existed, big wheels had always been a 3 wheels thing in my mind, gonna get one for sure... just gonna have to find a way to import it here, and a loop hole to have it street legal, theres none in Thailand, nobody EVER saw one... lol... even the Tdub turns head a lot, its mostly 110-125cc here, honda wave's and click's etc... _
An fun and informative video. Thank you. The TW looks like an awesome bike for trail riding, and handy around town too. I used to have a red Yamaha Trailmaster 100 which is likely the precursor to the TW. (Look it up on google.) It was a really fun little bike. But I don't think I would want a 2-stroke these days. A 4-stroke sounds a whole lot more civilized :-)
@@westcoastdualsportadvent-cj5qn You say 90kph. Does that mean you are Canadian? If so, then cheers from Ottawa. And cheers anyway, even if you are not Canadian :-)
@@westcoastdualsportadvent-cj5qn Yes. The Trailmaster was a sweet bike. I had a rebuilt one for about 5 years in the early 80's. I rode it all year round, even in the winter. But it had a noisy 2-stroke. I realize that now, but I didn't then :-) Also it had a dual range transmission with high and low range. Similar to the Honda CT-90. But I think it was Honda who eventually said: Who needs a dual range gearbox. Just add an extra low 1st gear. The Trailmaster had electric start, which was awesome. I was sad to get rid of it. But I think I would take a TW200 instead. But that's progress :-)

@TiddyHeart Sweet👍👍
My 2024 TW200 was my first street legal bike. I’ve had it about two weeks and am very happy with it so far!
Have fun, don't forget to take the choke off once it warms up! 👍
@notagain8661 Thanks!! I didn't forget.. I didn't know🤣🤣
TW was my first bike as well. You will love it.
@Snap-Dragon Yeah, I do😀
That was fun. You made my day 😀
@douggoble9695 Awesome!! Glad you enjoyed it 👍👍

Talk to a motorcycle mechanic about a jet kit and muffler..
Makes a huge difference.
Huge.
@Bond James 👍👍
Don't. Just enjoy the bike

@@bondjames652 Sorry, I don't speak in acronyms. What does that mean?
They come way too lean, makes it hard to start
How tall are you? I plan on buying one but would like a size differential reference. Thankss
@fishertiger6931 5/11ish
My wife really likes her TW. I tried her on a KLX250, but she prefers the TW.
@Nonplused It's such an easy bike to ride and a whole lot of fun👍👍

@OGkush69 The bike doesn't feel small if that's what you want to know.. Feels great👍👍

Advice ever pretend you're
Invisible, especially in traffic
@charlesgeorge3215 Its amazing how riding a motorcycle is just like riding a bicycle.. Drivers dont see you👍
You look like you don’t even know how to ride a bike becareful on it don’t hurt yourself
@Ethan Santos You are correct.. This is my second time on a bike. I'm getting the hang of it pretty quickly though👍
TURN CHOKE OFF
@jamesroyster252 You are 3 months and 3k km late👍
