Yamaha's Dual purpose TW

[VTNewb]

Look at the sheer size of that rear tire

I'd ride that beast.

[RVertigo]

Almost like a chopper tire.

I thought they used skinny tires on off-roaders for a reason...

[GeeP]

They use those in the MSF course in IL.  Pretty fun to ride, but really jerky clutches.  Many had trouble doing the box on the TW's.  I didn't get the do the course on the TW though.  I got to pop the cherry of a brand new Rebel 250.  WooHoo!   :lol:  :mrgreen:

That thing is hideous!  It looks like a tiny moguloid dirtbike with a tractor tire on the back.  




I want one!


That would be fun as all get out, with all the dirt road and logging roads around here in South GA.  Not to mention the looks I'd get commuting to school on it.

You could have some real fun riding in the dunes on that thing.

Just have to be careful not to break your coccyx in the process. :lol:

There's a lot about Grandma you don't know.

The whole dual purpose thing doesn't really get me going.  I do like the new BMW HP2.  That is pretty wild, but at $20K?  Not that wild.

That tire isn't broad and flat, like a chopper tire.  It's got tread all of the way up the side while still having a skinny footprint; it'd be great in deep mud.

OK, it goes on the B-day list.

I am seriously considering replacing my totalled gs with a dual sport.  the drz400sm is calling me I think...

I don't need to go fast, I don't do long trips either.  I sometimes wish I had a dirt bike or atv for trail riding and camping, but i would like to have a bike to commute a short distance to work.  A street-legal dual sport seems to be the right answer for me.

[davipu]

you know Rg, I think you could flat foot the tw.

[Roadstergal]

I'm a little tippytoe on the DRZ200.

[davipu]

it has a 31 inch seat hight.

[Roadstergal]

Just a little lower than the DRZ200.  It's normally too high for me, but with a bike that narrow and that light, I can do it.  OK, I'll take one.

[davipu]

so what are you going to trade in on it?

[RVertigo]

BURGER!!!

[Roadstergal]

Well, if Aaron doesn't buy my GS when I'm done fixing it...  

[Roadstergal]

I'm keeping the Burger.  *swat*

[davipu]

you need to sticker up the burger

[Roadstergal]

There's a Fatburger down the street from me.  I need to take a pic in front of it.

[RVertigo]

I'm keeping the Burger.  *swat*

  But it's soooooo ugly.

[Roadstergal]

It's not all about looks, you know.
