Glad to see the TW with you guys. I love my 2005! For an old man, it's just perfect for me. Poking around the woods and hills, avoiding the highway and just having a good time without being in a hurry :)

With the after-market headlight and LED rear brake-light, bar-risers ($75+), non-ridiculous pegs ($25-$85), Ricochet skid plate ($100+), rear rack, hand guards ($50+) and whatever else I couldn't spot, I'd say you did well for the current economy. Enjoy, and check that the clutch spring is on correctly!

New chain, sprockets x 2, brand new exhaust..12 months mot ( inspection)...rides great..my question is ..did I get ripped off or was it a good deal..the sad thing is I have a full motorcycle licence so I can ride any motorbike...I just liked this ybr

Are you guys in California? I’ve had my tw since 2020 and I have not succeeded in convincing my family members to buy a dual sport to trail ride. They all chose street bikes, harleys to be exact. If your in California, would it be possible for me to join in on a trail ride with you all? My rides have been around my neighborhood. That’s it. Lol I don’t want to trail ride alone. Break downs and who knows bobcats or whatever , could make a nice trail ride a disaster.

Mainly because there's no other bike like them and they will go through things other dirt and dual sports won't got through (deep sand, mud, snow). They're basically a 4-Wheel ATV cut in half. Tremendously tough and versatile bikes that that do it all and turn great gas mileage. I have a DR650 but also am keeping my TW200 because it will just go places my DR won't.

It's a good time to buy a decades-old bike that needs work. That's exactly what I did after trying for a few months to find a tdub. It's a horrible time to buy new or recently used unless you are either very lucky or not particular about what you buy. Don't feel bad. You perfectly encapsulated the current market for tdubs and for bikes overall, used OR new (dealers have widely been reported to tack on strange markups for new bikes.)

We all had these as our “irrigation bikes” back in the mid 80s through to late 90s in my case. They are reliable, can be beat up, are low enough that if you are going to crash in the mud, it’s not a total “splat”. We had a very serious off-road biased rear tire as the only thing close to highway riding was on a gravel road from field to field and back to the farmyard. I see comments about mud, but this set up we almost all used was constantly running in mud,,,, sandy mud in my area that ate up sprockets, but they are easy enough to change out. We had bikes with 25,000 miles on them that never went over 50 mph and were pure work bikes with little to no recreation riding. They are hard miles!! No real repairs unless we broke something ourselves,,,,,. We did not modify them generally,,,, one buddy put highway sprockets on his and it ruined it for the mud. You need the little torque it makes in those conditions and it was gone!! He bored it and changed the carb, muffler, cam etc and it was more powerful and still reliable, but became pretty thirsty!! The sky is the limit on these things,,, be nice if a fuel injected model came out. At our location we would be riding anywhere from 2500 ft above sea level to just over 6,000 and it affected how the bike ran,,,, I suspect it will be a big factor in Colorado??? We will see. I am talking about 1985 to 1990 models mind you,,,,,. I actually switched over to the KLR 650 as my chosen bike. I have owned several over the years and should be getting my 2022 quite soon!! Once I knew they changed it, I wanted it. I have slight balance issues, but have still ridden a 2 wheel bike cautiously without issue, but almost dropped one at a red light, which standing is what is most affected with me. Since I have that issue, we are going to mount a sidecar on it!!! My friend had an older bullet style sidecar sitting in his storage so we have cleaned it up and between 2 engineers and a pipeline welder,,,, all retired now,,,, I’m sure we will get that installed safely (as safe as any sidecar really is,,, hahaha). The TW200 has been a big part of my working life and the crew,,, we had a fleet of 6 bikes at one time, plus the KLR650. (If I wasn’t using the KLR, someone else used it for the day,,,, it was a work bike too. People don’t think of a motorbike for work and now current irrigation systems are so heavily automated, you don’t need to tend to them so much or physically go out and move them every 6/8/10/12 hours,,, depending on what sets (the amount of time the pipeline of sprinklers would set and water straight) you needed at the time. As you can see, a set of even 6 hours generates a lot of mud!! Haha.

You forgot to mention the JNS headlight on yours...I've heard mixed reviews, mine just has an LED bulb. Mine has cycle rack on it, but I think I'd go with the Tusk rear rack if I was paying. I have a 45T rear sprocket... definitely needed if doing much road, I can hit 65-70mph. You should do a collab with TDubsKid or MobStreet...I think TDubsKid is Colorado based, MobStreet is in Utah.

I had a few on the market in my area around Bend Oregon, Their were so many people calling I drove a little further to secure the one I had.

Nice find. The market is crazy! Feels like we live in cuba... not a good sign at all but I digress. Couldn't find any here in CT found one dealer an hour away that had 5 shipping in. all 5 sold. I was lucky when i called because it was right after 1 canceled so I hopped on it with a deposit. That was weeks ago they said they should have them early july. I emailed the owner recently he said 7/15 should be shipping. Well it's now 7/16 and no phone call. I realize im last out of the 5 and im sure they gotta build them and set them all up. Really hoping i get a call this weekend at some point. I would've ditched this dealer if there was alternatives but there's not and im praying i can just get through this sale and onto the bike already. The tw is such a great bike has a minimalist feel but just incredibly comfortable compared to other dirtbikes. And a low center of gravity makes it very nimble on road

Last year I decided I wanted my first bike, a dual sport. Crf300l looked like a great choice, until I realized they just came out and everyone wanted one and no one had one. I settled for a CRF250l, and as soon as any year/mileage listed under $5k they were sold. I ended up with a 2017 under 300 miles for $4.6k. Felt bad paying just under MSRP for a 4 year old bike, but I’ve had plenty of fun and almost 5k miles on it now!

Yeah, when I first heard the asking price, I was like "WHAT?!" But, like you said, it's a crazy time right now and the price on new AND news vehicles is insane, as is the inventory. My friend in Oregon wanted to buy a new car last weekend and he had to go to something like 6 dealerships to finally find "a" car to buy -- not his ideal car, but "a" car. And, it took a colleague of mine like 9 months to get his Specialized hybrid bicycle from his local bike shop after ordering it in person -- he even bribed the guys to try to get it sooner. I doubt dealers are even selling at retail/MSRP right now, and are asking for a price over that for everything -- a difficult time to buy, but if it stays like this after you guys are done with your TW200, you'll likely get back most of your money. Cheers!

I was lucky enough to pick up a really clean 97 KLR 250 in April or pre-motorcycle season as we call it in Pa for $1,350 with about 11K on the clock and I consider that an excellent deal for the market then and that was BEFORE $5+ / gallon summer gas and over all record inflation . I have spent over 1K on it getting it to where I want with most of that ($600) going into a brand new HD rear mono shock . Did you over pay long term? Yes. Did you over pay in the current market with the extra stuff on it? No. Like you said, can't find any new one's on the floors. Same with KLX 300s and CFR 450Ls .

P.S. Military police halt RR traffic if aircraft are bombing / hosing chain-cannon explosions ahead. Stay on the laid stones as dirt may hide lethal surprises. Best entry is off a highway overpass of RR found using Google Earth. La- la Land canals off the Colorado River have service roads to rescue people who thought the concrete walls were an easy exit for swimmers. Slippery scum on concrete is hard to see from above. You'll see such canal riding the Eagle Mountain route.

As far as overpaying and the aftermarket parts not adding value, anything is worth what people will pay, and that is what those are selling for now. You pay a little more for the best bike available. And as far as the aftermarket parts, while they dont add value imo, if those parts or equivalents were going to be purchased anyways, then that saves you from buying them. So you could have been at the same or very close to the final $ amount if you got a better price on a stock one plus the parts you end up putting on yourself.

I actually prefer the Suzuki Van Van 200, but they were only sold a couple years making them hard to find and have very little aftermarket support. EFI and a super cushy seat are nice on the Suzuki, but it's much less trail-worthy. The used bike market is just dumb right now, but I see signs of trouble on the horizon for the motorcycle industry. If we see the economic slow down that some are saying is coming, toys will be one of the first things people cut. My friend manages used inventory at a large powersports dealer and he is seeing a good number of people selling back bikes/watercraft/UTVs just to get out of their loans. Many are paying thousands to do this because they are under water. Auto loan servicers are seeing reposessions accelerating and not just with sub-prime buyers and most of these are loans that originated in 2020-21. I don't want to be alarmist, but these are distress signals that shouldn't be ignored. I think it will certainly soften demand for discretionary purchases like motorcycles which will bring prices down. If we slide into a recession, then you can really expect prices to come back down as people dumo their toys to pay their bills. That poses a good oppprtunity for those who can still afford such things.

Would love to grab a Tdub for my gf, and myself of course haha, but they're so crazy expensive around here. Some even sold over NEW msrp... Absolutely insane. Might go for a Yamaha XT for her instead! I recently ended up buying a new DR650 because the used ones sold for just about 500$ under the price of a brand new one. The decently priced ones were absolutely flooded by DM's and had over 100 shoppers who saved the listing. I'll be selling my Aprilia soon, hopefully the market will be in my favor!

I think you nailed it pretty well at that price point and your market observations, looks like a good buy. What's interesting to me is it just seems the more that auto makers cram ridiculous over tech'd cars down consumers throats, the more people are running in the opposite direction....case in point, 4 grand for a 7 year old, slow, simple bike with tractor like durability.

Sold my son's CRF50F for 50% over what I paid for it, but can't get anyone to buy my DRZ400E. Called 12 dealerships before I found one with a CRF300L Rally ABS and had it the next day. Meanwhile other people are on waiting lists for 6-12 months. We really are living in a weird bike market.

I just sold a 2013 with less than 100 miles on it for just less than 4 grand. It was bone stock. If you consider that it would cost close to a grand to put the accessories including the aftermarket led headlight that your bike has, you stole that one! I have a 2020 that I bought new, and will never sell it. Hands down the most fun motorcycle I have ever owned in my 62 years. Yes, I sank a good amount of change in aftermarket necessities, and farkles. If the engine ever dies, there is a 225 waiting for it! The current market is great for a seller, not so much for buyers, and seems to be sinking a bit.
