Hi all from Downunder!
I have just picked up my first TW200, after years of searching here in Aus. Most I have seen have been ridiculously modified, so, this virtually stock one I could not pass up. I have ordered a few new bits and pieces, and will steadily tidy it up over the coming months, in between rides.
Looking forward to chatting, reading of your exploits,and gathering a bit of info as I need it from you guys , together with taking in all the enthusiasm that you share.
cheers, Vibes!

Welcome Vibes! We hope to hear of your exploits as well. Ride well, be well.

Welcome that's a good looking bike all blue.

She’s a looker! Seems like a replaced head on there - hope it’s all right & tight. Great platform to start with.

Welcome!

Great looking bike. I'd change those foot pegs and front tire ASAP.

Please do share some photos and tales of the Australian countryside. I'd love to see where this TW takes you.

Is that the default graphics package over there? How delightfully retro. Jealous.

A friend gave this 2001 (3,600 miles) to me for helping him out with securing a 1967 VW bus. It still had the tires with a date code of yr. 2000.

So far I've replaced the tires & chain, added a jimbo shield, Stewart footpegs and some plastics for the brush guards.
I gave it a full cleaning while the wheels/chain were off. I'm just waiting on a master cylinder rebuild kit and new front brake hose.

With the new bits added... I took it for a spin up to a local mountain. Morro Bay (the rock) in the background, behind my helmet. Very pleased with the 'ol mule. I wouldn't mind a stiffer rear spring from Procycle and maybe new front springs.
