  • What the devil is this thing? Mystery motorcycle spotted on vacation.



    Its not a fat cat, and not exactly an enduro.......... very intriguing.

    Anyone?

        I think that's a Yamaha TW200, for when you need an itty bitty bike with big tires. They look like fun.

            Yup. They had those at the basic rider course I took. I never got to ride one, but they look like fun.

              Stiney, while you were so close to it, why didn't you get out and walk up to it and see what it was? Just wonderin' a little bit about that, and nothing else...

                Glad you asked Pdub.....actually I was waiting for someone to call me on it!

                Had just bought a new patio table (couldn"t pass it up, sturdy, no glass, good size, wife liked it, and on clearance) and was pulling out after loading it up. Also in the van (along with the 4x6 table) were said wife, 2 boy childs, Poppa-in-law, our buddy Jim, and 2 dogs.

                I was pushing my luck going back around for the picture. And if we stopped, Jim would have gotten out to look too. Not a problem, but the owner would have come back, and when Jim gets talking you are in for the long haul.

                Plus Dad-in-law had already stated loudly that he hoped we hurried back to the cabin, as he was claiming first dibs on the bathroom.

                I don't argue with such scenarios. I just drive faster.

                  What's funny is my business partner wants one of those. He's always walking by my desk asking "Have you found me a TW200 yet?"

                  Yamaha has been making them since the late 80's/early 90's.

                    Think my step Father bought one of those recently. He's 70ish and probably hasn't had a bike in 40 years!

                      Looks like my 89 honda Nighthawk only with dirt bike tires.
