I never pictured myself ever getting a TW200. I have always thought they are ugly bikes. That being said, when I decided I was going to start off-roading/ overlanding/boondocking with a camper I knew I needed something to scout the trails before heading down.

The first scout bike I thought about was the TW200. It's light enough to put on the back of my camper, it can go highway speeds if possible and if I really get in a pickle this thing is like a mule and will never get stuck.

 

Function of looks. Now I think its sexy!

PROs
