The problem with them right now is that folks on places like Facebook Marketplace thing the damned things are made out of solid gold.

If you are ever thinking about going on a real adventure on and off road and ever want to get on a highway and carry camping gear or luggage, then a Suzuki DR650 would be a better choice. The DR650 hasn't effectively changed since in 27 years. Super dependable. I'm looking for one of those and might sell my Tiger 800 if I find the one I want.


The used market is so messed up that I would likely heavily consider going new at least on the TW200.
Iā€™m 6ā€™ 200lbs.


Then you're about my size. The TW would be a good enduro bike to start with, but depending on what your skill level is or would like to be, you may want to move up to a more powerful bike later. If so the TW will hold its value when you want to sell it.

Another thing you can look at if you are interested is the lesser known Suzuki Van Van. It's a very similar bike to the TW200.

Here's a comparison...



Here's one for sale in Huntsville for a pretty decent price...
