Pt:1 First Ride | The Yamaha TW200 | The Nosy Beagle Bike Reviews 

Thank you for sticking around. I wish YT would promote us better. We'll keep inching along...;)

Go for it Lanny.

@jwerner3903 good advice. I will do that when we return to w wheels. Thank you n

Good to know. What about bicycle panniers along the sides?

@@backwatersandbackroads Try to keep the weight down to a minimum especially if you plan to not skip Imogene, Engineer, or Bear Creek Pass in Colorado. There are you tube videos of jeeps crashing down the side of Bear Creek. I believe you told me heights bother you and none of the you tube videos give a true picture of what the drop offs really look like when you are actually there. Also picking up the motorcycle fully loaded gets heavier after the third time.

Luce County is a special place. They seem to be "improving" it the past few years, which means signs every where saying "don't do this...." running out of places to run! :)

These are fun little adventure bikes. Fits out needs. I was worried, but it's as fun as I heard.

Howdy Phillipp, I THINK they are "happy trails" brand. I want to follow the car ferry across lake Michigan! ;)

thanks for your quick reply!!@@backwatersandbackroads

The TAT is definitely on my list ;)

Thank you for that encouraging feedback ;)

I need to start doing that again! ;)

That's good to know. They use to come standard with one. Push starting them is easy too;)

Thank you Logan. You're a great friend.

@backwatersandbackroads you're welcome and thanks and you too

Northport is a nice town. I went up there a couple of summers ago on the Silverwing. Lighthouses ;)

Cool. ;) drive ins are fun

Thank you! This is the kind of feedback I've been looking for. Cruising at 55 would be perfect for me.

That was my thoughts too

Sure! Very similar. The DR200se is a little quicker and has a little more legs on thr top end. Definitely squirrelier in the dirt and sand. The TW200 stays up right so easy on gravel roads I can film and ride at the same time :) the one thing I didn't like about the DR200 (and I had 3 over rhe years) the stupid petcocks always leak! You can't get a good one. Not even new. They will drain fuel into the crankcase until ita coming out the air cleaner onto the floor! The only thing that could be done is an I line shut off valve. Dumb!! Why they couldn't fix that simple issue is a mystery. Both great small do anything (slowly) bikes. I'd take either one.

So happy to have finally got one. Forever adventure bike ;)

Holy buckets man! That's iconic ;)

Right! Stock is 13 tooth (I think) wanting to go one tooth bigger. Forums say it fits

Winter (or now) is a good time to pick one up. Spare someone tripping over it in the garage all winter;)

It helped a lot on my DR200se back in the day. They need it. So does the TW200

I've still got it. I haven't ridden it this summer yet.

Thank you! That's what I need

Oh yes...me too! ;)

We have no choice buddy. Just had to put 450 bucks worth of VVTi sensors in my truck before towing the barge. Ouch. But...some people have real problems (as I often say)

Me too. The Oregon coast ;)

She had a thorn in her foot. We got it ;) thanks Steve

Howdy. You need both! Lol. I'm loving the TW. It's a great all around bike for more/less anything. Scooters are cheap and will go places most people wouldn't guess. If I could only have one, I guess I'd choose the TW

@@backwatersandbackroads I live in Mt Vernon In on the Ohio River. I have long wanted to just take off and go down river. I have seen many loopers stop here at the river front exploring. Thanks for the info.

@timhead4490 my good friend Russell lives in Mount Vernon ;)

Thank you! Stick around...lots more adventures coming;)

@backwatersandbackroads Been watching ya for a few years now. Love the adventures!!!

Hello! I was hoping you'd find my channel. The TW200 is definitely the perfect UP bike. Maybe next summer we can cross dirt paths. I plan on routing from end to end on all dirt roads. I did maybe 30% of it on this trip hardly trying. We're so blessed to live in Superiorland;)

Howdy! We got one good adventure in before winter. Very much looking forward to more next summer

How did that happen? :(

@@backwatersandbackroads I went with some friends to a place I wasn't ready for. Lol I was in over my head, I wrecked 4 times lol.

Yes! Please do Nate. You have my contact info. Any plans to finish the TAT? I plan on going coast to coast. Sooner than later. Love the TW200! I hear Clark makes a bigger tank. Definitely adding a wind screen. If you can remember the sprocket combo for 60 all day long...that's what I'm looking for. Having that option is nice when you need it.

@@backwatersandbackroads I don’t think you’re going to be doing high mountain passes soon but it ran terribly higher than 5000 feet but that’s just a jetting issue. (Maybe bring some jets if you climb high up ) and also with that sprocket combo there was one mountain pass I couldn’t do. (Because it wasn’t jetted for alpine ) and I had to ride all the way down the montain and go around. But I’m talking really steep and really high. I’ll send you some pics. I’ll search for my build receipts and see if I can figure out what combo I did. I might have a spare tube I just found yesterday I’d like to give to you. It’s huge. (Rear tire ) I have an owners manual to give away but I assume you have that too. Also when I did all those mikes on that trip several bolts vibrated loose. Foot peg, motor mount bolt , and a rack bolt all came out and I had to lock tight them.

@Natter20002 I didn't get a manual. I'll take that please. Cab you email me again please?

Thanks Mike. I'm going to try some bicycle panniers I have on the sides. Apparently I'm not the only one that noticed the uselessness of the rack ;) all over the forums. Off road only.

Those should work very well. Just be sure those fabric bags and mounting straps are tight. Check them often. I can tell you from experience a loose tie down strap finding it’s way into your front wheel will ruin your day.

@@justmike1529 I've had that happen on a bicycle. Not fun!

Sorry to hear that. I'm sure they aren't for everyone. I like it, but I like slow. :)

@@backwatersandbackroadsI bought 2! 😂 just did a 2 week adventure in New Zealand! Sand,gravel,forest and roads! Such a blast!

@@Adhdad1 I absolutely love my TW200;)

Greg doesn’t get it. That’s ok.
