How satisfying is that? Nobody will or could appreciate the DR like you will, for good reason. I'm sure the ole two-hunny never felt as pleasurable as it does right now, just sitting on that worn-out seat cover.👊🏼 CONGRATULATIONS on a job well done.
@@bakerXderek Should do a recap of all these expenses and see how much everything cost. and to top it off a shirt/sweater would be a nice touch for the rebuild series to recop some of the money..... A DR-BakerxDick Head special shirt/sweater. with some " its alive ! " kind of stuff on it lol
@@willy54th so you didn't even watch the video. He explained it all and that he did get it because of his twitch followers helping him out.... Cheah!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're always amazed at what you can do when you nut up, pick up a wrench and give it the old college try. From one self taught mechanic to another, congratulations.
Man some popular RUclips channels are swimming in new bikes, they have shops working on supped up builds. Meanwhile we got bakerX here making it work on a shoestring budget. This is way better content. Grats dude! Your video is making me get a DR200, love the sound of that engine and the way the bike looks.
Holy balls batman he’s only got the thing fucking running BXD you are a mechanical genius ,a tear rolled down my face to see that thing back out on the streets ,great job 👏 👏
There's nothing much more satisfying than stepping back at the end of it all to marvel at the fruity ropes of your own knuckle bustin' labor. Man, I still crack a smile thinking back on my first full bike rebuild - shit got way too expensive way too fast because I went overboard on every little bell and whhhkistle, but it was soo fucking worth every last penny in the end.. I'm hyped for you, man. A few years ago I commented on one of your videos offering to rebuild this pupper for you free of labor charge, but its soo much cooler that you finally did it all yourself. 👌🏻
Hell to the yeah!!! You did it!! I never doubted ya. That thing is purring like a kitten! Awesome job Derek!! Can’t wait to see the first trail adventure on the old girl sense her fresh rebuild.
Congratulations dude! To some ppl who have built plenty of motors this wouldn’t seem like a big deal to them but coming from someone who has messed around with bikes and cars a lot but still never built a motor before I can imagine this would b a great feeling. Glad that the project worked out for u and look forward to watching sum more vlogs on that old bad boy
Dude this gave me some good ol memories of motovlog, reminds me of some Aussie lads like Yourpalschrisandal and Leadpin holy fuck , thanks for doing this man, brings back alot of nostalgia . Peace bruv. CHEAH!!!
Definitely more satisfying to have done it yourself than to have had a shop do it or put a new motor in all together congrats on getting it up and running again
Bakerxwrenchhead!!! CHEAH!!!!!👌👌 Never have I been so stoked for someone else’s joy!!! Hell yeah!!! Can’t wait for some new DR200 adventures! Congrats man!!!
Many manly tears were shed this day, the day the DR200 has been awoken from her dead slumber, and has returned to the land of the CHEAH! BakerXDerek be praised
Been a while since I’ve watched some RUclips and to see this beauty running again after 5 years is insane! Massive respect for the build man; stoked for you. Been watching you for about 5 years, so this is awesome 👌🏼
This is far by one the greatest accomplishments in motorvloger history Mr BXD alone took apart a engine and rebuilt it together to bring back the DR200 Awesome to see you bring back one of your favorite bikes CHEAH !
Man i can watch the saddest or most tragic videos, soldiers coming home or inspirational type videos and I don't bat an eye... but dude i got choked up watching this. It's been a long time coming brother. Felt like I was in a time machine for sure. Now go ahead an take it easy on the old girl. Much love man. CheaH 👌🏻
I started watching your channel for the DR200, and then got hooked on the Grom, and now thrilled to come back full circle. And the purr of that engine starting back up for the first time was awesome.
Congratulations on the rebuild. It feels so good when YOU YOURSELF dive into something head first and fix it perfectly. No better feeling than that!!!! Glad to see it up and running
CHEEEEEAAAAHHHHH! First motovloger I started watching..shiiit when I was 15?? and made me want a bike. Here I am, 23 tips old. Had an 03 F4i but Got myself a 15 Kawasexy Vulcan 650S....that kawy green of course. Even got my girlfriends dad AND younger brother Vulcan 1500 and 800 respectively. Ridin ropes AAAAALLLLLL the time now. I would have happily thrown in some tips for the years of content but good to hear she's back baby. OG DR
Legit good job with explaining and showing the process. Even Frannie with the clutch let me clean your plastics for you motivation. So stoked for you dude
Yes!! I've been waiting years for you to get back on this bike! I'm at work now but when I get off I will watch. Let's get some more off road adventures! I got a 2018dr200 and it's the most fun I've had on two wheels. More fun than my 450
You should get some sort of merch realised to celebrate. Red and yellow key chain or something. Great video! Been looking forward to this for ages. Looking forward to the next trails episode or seeing you out race Mongols on the DR again.
Now that you've tackled the mechanical rebuild, working on the 636 electrical issue shouldn't be too difficult! Would love to see you tear that down and rebuild that.
Congratulations man. Job well done. That's a great feeling knowing that you did it and it even works. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride. The dr200 is how I found you. At the time I was looking to buy one myself so wanted to see what they were all about. Peace.
I’m proud of you man . I’m the one who was talking to you on Twitch last night about the rebuild. but That’s something to be proud of. you know that bike from the inside out now
Watching you ride that 200 was like entering a time machine
Fossilized ropes
And someone is cutting onions... that or got pepper-sprayed.
the level of satisfaction must have been godlike after getting her running again.
Even more so !
I’ve never busted ropes so fast in my entire life ❤️
😀😃😄😁😆😅
bruh

This made my day, and gave me some motivation to get my old dirt bike running.
I'm STILL not over it being back up lol
Nice that’s good jacob
@@bakerXderek Should do a recap of all these expenses and see how much everything cost.
and to top it off a shirt/sweater would be a nice touch for the rebuild series to recop some of the money.....
A DR-BakerxDick Head special shirt/sweater.
with some " its alive ! " kind of stuff on it lol
@@xxCORONAxx Oh man a new DR200 t-shirt would be fire for sure. I'd buy one to support ol' Derek no doubt.
17:32 - Man it feels like we're right back in 2014. I can't even tell you how stoked I am to see you motovlogging on this ugly beauty again.
Me too man, and I also just got the tags for it so it's 100% legal now !
@@bakerXderek ended up paying the 700+ dollars???
willy54th no shit how else would he have got them 🤣💀
@@1slowgixxer He was pretty upset about it yesterday, so I didn't think he was going to do it🤷
@@willy54th so you didn't even watch the video. He explained it all and that he did get it because of his twitch followers helping him out.... Cheah!!!!!!!!!!!!
We can achieve things we never thought were possible by leaving our comfort zones and giving things a shot. Well executed project. Nice work mate 😀👍
Big time, thanks dude !
That laugh after you took it through the dirt. Priceless.
“ $714 in back fees”
Best I can do is a like!

bro you did an awesome job on this, treat her right, that 200 will last you thousands more miles!
I literally shed a single Suzuki yellow tear. I remember watching the video of you buying this bike. Definitely glad to see it back on the road.
🙂
Great Job Derek! Cheah! I am glad you got her running. You did this Derek. We just supervised lol
Great job knob gobbler! Enjoy the ride again!
Definitely more satisfying to have done it yourself than to have had a shop do it or put a new motor in all together congrats on getting it up and running again
great job rebuilding the old DR200, it sounds great! They are great little bikes, I had a '96 for a few years and loved it
Been watching since the og pit bike days, this dr200 rebuild brings back so much nostalgia man! Cheyaahhh
Should get a luggage rack for the back, kinda brings together the bike. Couldn’t be happier the DR200’s back, feel like I’m back in time!
I got one I was actually gonna put back on for metal detecting !
bakerXderek perfect man!
Bakerxwrenchhead!!! CHEAH!!!!!👌👌 Never have I been so stoked for someone else’s joy!!! Hell yeah!!! Can’t wait for some new DR200 adventures! Congrats man!!!

That DR is a time machine for sure cause you just took me back 5 years in time. Thanks for sharing the experience. Cheah!
🙂👌
I am so glad to see the Dr200 up and running. 👌
Cheah. Well done on the excellent rebuild. You have good habits for rebuilds. You could literally build your own time machine now
I know this video was from a month ago but damn, such a nostalgic feeling seeing and hearing the ol DR200 putt putting again.
Congratulations on the rebuild. It feels so good when YOU YOURSELF dive into something head first and fix it perfectly. No better feeling than that!!!! Glad to see it up and running
Definitely!
Nice work on the rebuild. Feels 100% better when you do the work yourself and it turns out to be a success.
Congratulations Derek. 👏👏👏👏👏
This is amazing. Just, wow this is what I needed to watch. Old school moto vlog. I miss hearing the brap
That's badass! You should use some of the Mothers back to black on the black plastics faded from the sun. It will make it look brand new and
nice! when I first started following you, all you had to ride was this and the six, good to see the DR200 running again! well done!
dang its good to see the old Dr200 ripping again
so good to see this little thing running again. And even better to expect some OG dr200 adventures again :)
if Arson was with you i'd feel like 2017 again.
This bike was from 2013 lol waaaay older than those vids
@@bakerXderek seems like yesterday
That a boy BXD that a boy. Proud of you, now time for some reallly lit blunt tip content.

Too bad about the insurance, life is bittersweet. It's AWESOME to see it back in business again😉
Great video bro keep up the great work!!!
So happy for you man, enjoy the feeling of accomplishment you totally earned it. Its great seeing you on the thing again, brings us back too.

Glad to see you back on the DR200
:)
You should get some sort of merch realised to celebrate. Red and yellow key chain or something.
Great video! Been looking forward to this for ages. Looking forward to the next trails episode or seeing you out race Mongols on the DR again.
Return of the king
Daaaamn dude them feels of seeing the dr200 back in action ,plus it feels like am back in 2015 lol
Extremely stoked for you!!! Congratulations!!!😁🤙🏽
Congrats Dude! no better feeling than the first ride after you fix your bike yourself
Now that you've tackled the mechanical rebuild, working on the 636 electrical issue shouldn't be too difficult! Would love to see you tear that down and rebuild that.
*CHEEEAAAAAHH!!* Finally you're riding the Dr200 again! Waited years for this! I guess Derek's a certified engine rebuilder now! Fyeah dude!
👊😎 Fantastic job man! You're like a mechanic or something. 👌 Time for some new dirt and Skydio ropes.
Great job brother! I can't wait to watch the adventures to come!👌
So nice to hear that exhaust note again! Cheah!
Congrats, BXD. Well done! 🏍
Isn’t it the best damn feeling when you tear something apart and put it all back together, and it WORKS! Congrats brother. CHEAH!!
Champion job mate! Sounds lovely and smooth that now. Might be worth going over the brakes next.
Oh ya i'll be doing it all
Can’t believe it finally happened! Surreal
At least some good came out of 2020 LOL so happy to see the bike that brought me here running again!!!!
You did it!!! :D CHEAH!!! First video I ever saw from you was with that motorcycle exploring the side trails, so happy for you! :)
That confidence is at a all time high!! lol fuck yeah knew you had that light work!!!
I truly enjoyed the rebuild series. Great job!
Congrats! I did the same rebuild on my KTM 520! So exciting to see you rip it after the rebuild!
Damn that had to be even more crazy !
@@bakerXderek Not too bad actually! It was well worth it!
I’ve been watching your channel when u got that bike and blew it up nice to see your brought her back
I can’t believe your back on the dr 200 it feels like it’s been years !!! The nostalgia is real.
Congratulations man. Job well done. That's a great feeling knowing that you did it and it even works. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride. The dr200 is how I found you. At the time I was looking to buy one myself so wanted to see what they were all about. Peace.
They’re amazing bikes for sure
The nostalgia!!!!😭 I was 11 when I first started watching you! I’m 18 now I missed this bike...
Congrats on the successful rebuild 👌
It's surreal seeing the DR in HD ropes from the chin mount pov.
That raw excitement in his voice riding it for the first time again is epic
Grats brother so happy for you and looking forward to all your future off raod adventures!!
Man, I'm totally stoked for you! Glad to see the ol girl running again!
Same :)
I’m proud of you man . I’m the one who was talking to you on Twitch last night about the rebuild. but That’s something to be proud of. you know that bike from the inside out now
