Hello All,
TW200's are completely new to me. In my ten years of riding, I have never come across one. Basically, I was doing a search on bikes with the best fuel economy and I see this really cool-looking bike. And then it turns out that they've been around for years!! Why have I never seen one?!?!
Anyway, I start doing some research and see all kinds of mods that have been done to these things. Then the wheels really start turning......
Here are my basic questions:
1. Can this bike run 60-70 mph without it feeling like she's going to explode? I'm thinking not, but I'm hoping. 20 miles of my commute is interstate and I don't want to get run over by a semi...
2. If the answer is no, can anything be done about it? Engine mods/replacement, etc etc??? Has anyone heard of putting a slightly bigger engine on a TW?
All thoughts appreciated. I'm getting pretty excited. It's been awhile since I've been bitten by a bug and this has all the tell-tale signs.
Here's one of the pics that started the juices flowing...
