Yamaha TW200 Into the Wilderness

After a trip to the big city it was time to get on my TW200 and recharge in the mountains of North Idaho!

Man, beautiful area, you are so lucky to live there. The TW is an awesome bike. Beginner friendly, but still fun for experienced riders, fun, reliable, easy to work on, and low seat height. You may have other bikes, but every garage needs a TW.

I couldn’t agree with you more on all of those points my friend!!!! Thank you so much for the comment!!!!

[@CraftyClusterfarg]

Great vid! Makes me want to go for some fall rides.

[@dirtcopdualsport]

I’ll go with you!

[@OffGridandWhiskey]

Yes. Larch. I was just trying to remember that tree. That golden yellow should be happening soon, right?

[@dirtcopdualsport]

Yessir! In the next month or so!

[@ExplorethePNW]

What a cool video man. Makes me want to get a bike and ride out with you! Also love the personal touches mixed in.

[@dirtcopdualsport]

Man I wish you did too!!!! I feel awful the summers almost over and we haven’t got out together!

[@ExplorethePNW]

@@dirtcopdualsport no worries, we’ve still got time man 👍🏻

A few years ago I bought a Honda nc700x. Its five hundred pounds! Dropped it on some smooth lava one day and just barely got my foot caught underneath. Ever since I've been wanting a TW200.

@marklanders630 I am definitely too much of a baby to ride a bike that weighs that much! Thanks for the comment too!

No dewalt drill powered bikes!!!! Keep the internal combustion alive!! In all seriousness, each to his own, but I spent several hours on the best electric bike Zero offered. It was probably the fastest thing I've ever ridden. After a bit though, I missed that sweet exhaust tone, the clutch, the ability to select the gear I wanted etc. I kept thinking even through the unsurpassed acceleration, something was missing on it. It was soul. It had absolutely no soul. Just throttle and brake and a tiny whine like an electric drill. Not for me, that's for sure. I will say it would probably be cool to have as a spare to sneak back in the woods on. Good video man.

[@dirtcopdualsport]

That’s the same idea I get from them! They are all the same but I would love one for hunting so I can creep in silently to my spots without scaring up any animals!

[@OffGridandWhiskey]

The worst is getting geared up, helmet on, bike idling... then talking yourself out of riding. Done that a few times.

[@dirtcopdualsport]

That’s only happened to me during rains storms! Still a bummer though.

I use my TWs for everthing all the reasons naysayers don't get one. I've had a shit ton of fun at Moab and even singletrack within my comfort zone. Except dirt racetracks. No...not a racer. 😁 Off topic, I've been meaning to ask what a "dirt cop" is?

[@dirtcopdualsport]

ha! My wife thinks I shoudl make a video explaining what a dirt cop is but it's a deragatory word for someone who works in envrionmental compliance.
