The TW 200 is one of the most fun offroad/trail bikes you can own. Perfect beginner bike, but even expert riders will find it fun to explore on. All sorts of aftermarket to make the bike your own. First year of this bike was 1987. One thing I would upgrade is to a larger fuel tank, range on stock tank is maybe 100 miles or less, but what a great bike!
We just did a 1000 mile adventure ride on the TW200 and the KLX300. Yes we stopped for gas SOOO much. lol. My wife really likes the looks of the stock bike so we will likely just carry some auxiliary fuel. It's an amazing bike and we'll probably keep it forever. Please consider subscribing.
The first bike I ever owned was a 1973 Hodaka Wombat 125, the last one I owned was a 1983 Suzuki RM 125. I saw this in my feed and I thought, cool, I might want to look into something like this, a nice little bike to plonk around the trails on as an old man. Then I heard the price... OMG🤣
Very very little has changed (removal of kickstarter and replacement of front drum with disc in 1991!) since 1987. The '87 even had electric start. Go find one if you like it, there's a good sized aftermarket!
My wife has one, she's short, so her bike choices are limited. It's such a simple, easy reliable thing. There's a lot of negative things to be said about it if compared to the rest of the bike market (slow, marginal brakes, underwhelming suspension) but it's great fun to bop around on, air the tires down and it will go absolutely anywhere without trouble, and it looks unique. Nor to mention there's a bazillion used ones out there, because for the most part all of them that were made are still working. My favorite description of the kawasaki klr applies to this bike as well, "it's as reliable as a hammer, because that's about how sophisticated it is"
Handlebar videos do nothing for the individuals interested in the motorcycle itself show the motorcycle if your thumbnail says you’re gonna talk about the motorcycle
Appreciate the comment. We’re new to this and it’s just first impressions. We plan on doing a full review as we just completed a 1000 mile adventure ride and certainly have some insight to share. Please consider subscribing to see that video!
I have a very good friend that has a TW200 and has done a number of mods over the years. It's a cool bike. Show the bike. Seriously. Talking about it while riding it for the whole video just isn't going to hook viewers. "Charmingly ugly"? But you never show the bike.

@@Wilburnator you should def get one. We just rode it 600 miles on an adventure ride and it handled some extreme Enduro routes just fine.
@@rotorhead5000after the nuclear apocalypse the cockroaches will be riding KLRs and TW200s. lol

@@MidLifeCycles-ML best of luck with all your endeavors.
Bought my 2014 to learn on...16k miles later I know ill never sell it.
@@dclprogramming that's awesome. I have a feeling we'll own this one forever. We just knocked out a 600 mile adventure ride on it. It was flawless.
