Yes, Canada has a desert. Sort of. It's actually pretty sweet and unbeknownst to the rest of the world. Just like our desserts, then. We partner up with a new ol' friend named TW200 (or 'T-Dubs') for an adventure across the desert to see if she’s still got that zest and spirit of adventure that she had back in the day.

Years ago while hiking in some castle walls in Portugal, I've seen this beautiful scenery, amazing garden with an excellent view. Checked I could jump the 2-3m wall, to a 50 cm2 gap and get to a trail it was just there. unfortunately, I'm not as strong as I was when younger, the height of the jump was too much on my legs, and went rolling down the hill, and nearly killed myself. I got still to this beautiful park with a beautiful view. then found that if I would of went around the wall there was a gate, open for all. ."Sure I'm not gonna get there fast, but I'll get there" . learned that lesson that day, no need to jump the wall, just take your time and go around.

In 1977, got my first Yamaha 80 enduro at 13 years old and put hundreds of miles on the prairies and foothills of Alberta. This video allowed me to feel the cold air, freezing water and the warmth of the campfire at the last mile of the day. I now live in Southern AZ on the border of Mexico with my KLR 650. Thank you for taking me back to those days where all I cared about was "getting there" and wondering if I was actually going to survive.

Those "no trespassing" signs in the end gave me a sad feeling about the world getting smaller... Guys, this video is pure poetry on 2 wheels, thank you for doing it. Edit: Wow, never thought I'd have these many likes and a discussion. Fellas, I understand the reason behind these signs, sure you'd better be safe than sorry about your land, my statement is purely based on a romantic view on the world. I love trail hiking, exploring, and I'm someone who just likes to be there and leave nothing but footprints, but I can't speak for the rest of the world. It's just that lately there's less and less of these places to go and people to care for them.

Having ridden sport bikes my whole life, I cannot say why, but I had always wanted a TW200. Two years ago I happened upon a 2011 TW with only 500km on the clock selling for a song. I bought it and have never regretted it. She now has almost 8000km on the clock and most of that has been bashing through the bushes and just loving every slow purposefully eaten up kilometer. Your video just highlights everything I love about my own bike. And around town it is actually not to bad, as you mentioned, they corner beautifully thanks to those monster tyres and are pretty nimble to throw around. To Ryan and the crew behind the scenes, thanks for an awesome video, and an amazing channel. Keep up the amazing work guys!

Ross Bourne in what world I’d premier “progress”? Just because someone has an idea, doesn’t automatically mean it was a good one. Not everything serves a useful purpose. Some ideas make things better, that’s progress. Others serve no purpose other than to irritate.
@I_Santos_
@I_Santos_ 5 жыл бұрын
Ross Bourne perhaps I did misunderstand something, my apologies. I just didn’t think it was a very good comparison, in my opinion. The point I was trying to make was that while not NECESSARY (since we could do the things befofe), a cellphone was at least very CONVENIENT for the user. And I would agree that that is progress. However, I fail to see how the the premier feature is either necessary or convenient. It offers nothing to the viewer or the content creator. Most people hate the constant barrage of ads they get, but st least that generates revenue for the content creator allowing them to produce better content and in some cases make a living and dedicate themselves more to their product. So it serves a purpose. I just fail to see what the plus side of this feature is. That’s true, this is objective and it’s just my opinion, for what little it’s worth. But as viewers we should express our enjoyment or irritation with features as it provides feedback to those providing the service. It seems that here is a considerable amount of people for whom this is rather annoying.

It can go through some crazy terrain that no other bike (maybe besides a rokon) could do. Way different riding style than my motorcross bike I used to have. Me with my wife as passenger plowed through deep sand, mud, steep hills etc. I couldn't believe it!

The TW200 and it's better brother the XT250 are the most underrated leisurely exploration bikes that most beginners didn't know they needed. I most often see them on the back of pickups and trailers of those who are retired and touring the National Parks system as a way to explore the terrain once they get to their destination for a night or three. I have an Xt225 for about seven years as a backup bike to teach others on and stroll to the store (85+ mpg and cooler than a moped) but ended up riding it over my other bikes many Summer nights because it's just more fun to relax on. If you want to shred the hardest these aren't your bikes. But we forget that we're not all pro dirt racers and some, even many of us just want to cruise and chill :)

Beautiful scenery and featuring one of the greatest motorcycles of all time. I live on a farm and I've used my TW to check fences and herd cows, so I can attest to the benefits of that slow walk first gear. It is also brings a smile to my face every time I get on it. It is so fun that lately I've been leaving my CBR at home and taking the TW, so long as I don't have to get where I'm going in any sort of a hurry. Glad to see the TW getting the respect it deserves after 30 years.

I live in the least populated region, there are hardly any roads here, and no fences. There is a huge wilderness out my back door and this bike would be perfect to explore it. It's sandy and rocky here and those fat tyres would be get traction in the rugged terrain. Great video, thanks.

I liked this video. The narrator has my kind of humor. I was 74 years old and I found a single track trail that I wanted to go on. At the time I had a 94 XT600, so I gave it a shot. After I got that high-geared top-heavy bike about 1.5 miles into the trail, I decided to turn around before either the trail, or the bike killed me. As I was turning around, it tipped over. I did not crash, I just got off-balance. It took everything that I had to lift that thing back up. I researched a lot of trail bikes after that, and I decided to go for a TW200. I live in South Eastern Idaho, and I had to travel to Denver Colorado to find me a 2022 TW200. I went down that same trail with this new 200, and easily made it past where I had issues with my 600, but a little further on I found a scary down-hill, and I decided that I would come back when I had geared down the bike and had someone with me. Well, I have since then added a decent skid plate, handlebar guards, a larger rear sprocket, and o-ring chain, a luggage rack, a much better padded seat, handlebar risers, added 1" to the rear brake lever to give me more leverage to the brakes, and a much better tool kit. The supplied tool kit is garbage. The guy that I was going to take with me broke his ankle on his bike, so I will most likely do this trail alone. I do always carry a Personal Locater Beacon with me, because I always ride alone. I am now 75 years old, and I am looking forward to going on this trail. I just wanted to add, that I am not worried about the down-hill, but when off-roading it is always prudent to never go down a hill that you can't climb back up if the need arises. I figure it this way, I am only 2 miles from the trailhead where this hill is located, and if it is unclimbable by myself, I can walk back to the truck and recruit some help. So far, (700 miles), I love this bike. It has been years since I had a bike with this little horsepower, ( comparable to a Yamaha 175 enduro), but so far it has went where I pointed it.

@@PineyRider This is a bit of an update. I am now 76, and the TW has 1,700 miles on it. I installed Bradley's rear disc brake. I just could not get the air bled out of it, so I found and purchased 2 banjo bolts with built-in bleeders. Problem solved!!! I normally drive a harvest truck in the fall, but this year, I am going to ride my TW, and my 2022 Polaris quad. I tried a tad bigger rear sprocket, and I was cruising at 35 instead of 45, so I put the stock gearing back on. I had a little problem on a ride last fall. I was going up a very challenging road, and there was a 3 inch wide part of the trail that would have got me by a large rock. I got out of shape and hit the large rock. The TW went over backwards so fast that I was totally unprepared. The bike fell over and ended up on my leg. I could not get into a position that I could lift it off of my leg. Thank goodness that day I wore my Carr-Hart slip-on mini boots. I was able to slide my foot out of the boot and get out from under the bike. It was during the week, and on a trail that was not heavily used because it is so rugged. Like I said, I had my PLB with me, but I really did not want to call out search and rescue just to lift the bike off my leg. I am soooooo happy that I was able to extricate myself. I took my G/F up and showed her where it happened. She said that I was nuts for even trying. She was most likely correct, but that has never stopped me before. LOL That trail that I talked about before I still have not tried it. It has me spooked just a little. I went down a hill that I could not go back up one time in Nevada on my XT600. I went as far as I could down the canyon, and walked out. I went back with friends and sawed a few trees out of the way so that I could get through, then we coma longed the bike up a vertical 20 foot cliff. I was much younger at that time. LOL I still love this little bike. I have done some very rocky trails around where I live, and that little bike is like a tank. I actually rode it just about 2 miles today. It was so cold, and I wimped out. Sad..........but true!
