DR200 On Steroids?! Why And How?!

This DR200 race build will be an ironman contender at the 24 hour endurance race in November 2020. This is not a joke. I say again, this is not a joke. I actually have this thing feeling like a beast and stayed within a very reasonable budget to do it. I bought the bike for $800 and have about $500 in parts into it.

    I'm sorry you're poor but I love your poverty builds. Promise me if you ever make it big, that you'll keep doing this for the rest of us. Sincerely, The Poors.

    Gabe, I wouldn't care much about a DR200 video if it wasn't someone like you standing on the foot-pegs. You are a talented rider with decent mechanical skills and a lot of heart. You are riding a super-affordable old scooter that would otherwise be completely inadequate for the challenge. You have a compelling story and shoot good video. You also tell your story well. I am happy to do what little I have to help. Best wishes, good luck & Die Trying ! -Dave Martin

    The only reason you guys got the DR200 in the states is probably because Suzuki wanted to try get some more money. it’s not meant for racing or even trail riding it’s a farm bike. it was built for Australia and New Zealand’s terrain not for a race track but still I do Enjoy watching people race these farm bikes.

    Just bought my girlfriend one of these because she's 5'3 and im telling her. Babe. I know it wasnt fast on the test ride. I KNOW 100% we can make this one of the best bikes you've ever ridden, because I watched all your vids years ago.

    Glad to see you back on youtube ! You should do a in depth series about all you did to your DR200, weight savings, carb tuning and all would give you many additional videos out of the same project so little investment besides time. Keep it up man !

    This is by far the most entertaining and hilarious video I have seen all FREAKING MONTH (saw this at the end of November). I would watch this kind of content over a full Yamaha trail build everyday, no question!!! Definitely picking up a shirt brother. sorry about your struggles, hang in there!
