Crossing Canada's Only Desert on a Yamaha TW200 - 2018 Review

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

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.

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.

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 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.

    Excellent work, Ryan F9!This may be my favorite video on KZread. I always desired to own a TW and I finally bought one a year ago. No regrets whatsoever. The best part? I paid cash for it with the money I saved by quitting smoking after 8 months or so. Damn fine trade! TW200 is 2 wheeled happiness and Fortnine nailed it with this video! "It's for going OFF TRAIL" Goddamn right!!

    I can't remember the last time I commented on a KZread video. But, dammit Ryan, you and the team at F9 stun me more and more with each release. Cinematography and music choices that remind me of the finest days of Top Gear, plus insight and profundity. This is what motorcycling (and gearhead/petrolhead culture in general) needs. Thank you, Ryan+FortNine. Don't stop.

    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 :)

The venue was not a cinema and generally hosted concerts. Why my Father took the family to watch this, I have no idea, maybe it was free?

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.
