More than I expected
By (I am an Owner) on Sep 01, 2010Here in the Dominican Republic, roads go from great to terrible without warning and everyday motorcycles pay the price. I Used to drive a Suzuki 100...the staple of the moto taxi industry. Strong engines....crap suspension and wheels made of tin foil.
It was time to re-enter the biking ... world and a friend returning to Canada had just what I needed. I read the reviews and things looked good...the deal was made.
In my past, I road raced bikes, worked as a sales manager for a dealership and spent a lot of time on or around bikes.
My summary...
Ride Quality....Very good for our kind of roads. Seat is low, almost like a trials bike of the 70's. Bum gets numb after about 40 minutes of continuous riding...nothing new here.
Power.... More than enough for what I need. Cruise at 50 and still have torque to take you up to 60 without a lot of work. Geared well for it's intended use.
Appearance.....very nicely laid out and unique enough to garner stares and questions from motorcyclists and non bikers alike.
I bought this bike as a way to escape my Honda CRV. I thought I would just ride it on weekends. Oddly enough, the CRV sits parked and the bike has become my main source of getting around!
This bike has exceeded my expectations. Unless you are a power crazed nutbar (like I used to be...lol) this bike will do what it was intended to.

A fun little bike!
By (I am an Owner) on Oct 16, 2009I bought a 2009 TW200 to commute to work and save a little money on gas. I drive rural roads with speed limits of 50mph or less and this bike does fine on both dirt and asphalt. Even though I intended to just ride back and forth to work I find myself trail iding on weekends and running errands with ... my TW. I put a tailbag on and can carry a few items with me without using a daypack.

Great starter, around town / around farm / etc.
By (I am an Owner) on Mar 09, 2009It's a street legal 2 wheeled quad that gets about 80mpg. Top speed can be pushed to the 70s with a little work. Stock it likes to stay under 60, but will climb about anything you point it at.
