Great riding and super shots......Thank you for taking all the time setting up the camera for the long shots rather than carrying the camera.....makes the best viewing pleasure......Thank you.
Love your videos bro. Great trails, great skills and fantastic sound tracks. A couple of friends and I ride TWs in Scotland. Your videos really showcase the bike's ability. A serious look at the Yamaha TW and beautifully displayed by a fantastic rider... Ride free my brother !!!
Same here, looked up tw200 and found you video. Love your video, scenery, riding style. I am a brand new rider and hope one day I could be as comfortable/confident rider as you are. Great video, music.
lucyhusky Thanks for the comment. I don't consider myself an expert, but I built these trails so know them pretty well. Its allllllllllllllllllllll about momentum and balance.
Rode a TW200 in my MSF class. Had a GS500, now own a ZRX1100 and through both bikes I've been itching to supplement them with a TW200. Your vids just make that urge so much more so. Hope yours does you well for a long time to come!
+heheani Thank you! Unfortunelty I did break the first gear wheel in the transmission and had to split the cases, and it hasn't seen much action since the. It will soon though. My other side is in need of a serious overhaul.
Doug Devine Thanks a lot! Ya, I've got some riding footage I need to work on. In the mean time, my wife does a daily blog that I contribute to as well you can see at ruclips.net/user/thedonoghs
Great vid. Just confirms this is the right bike for my wife and I. I have a Cagiva Gran Canyon for eating up miles, and had a Ducati 900SS for scratching the speed itch. Now with 600 acres to play on in south/central WA, time for something like this. Terrain from rough fire roads to deer paths, from gently sloping grass to cliff faces. Never been into blasting over whoops a-la motocross, just looking to go explore the land.
Wow that sounds awesome! Yeah its a great bike for exploring. Enough power to get you up some difficult terrain but not too much to get you in trouble. Sounds like an epic spot you got! Need a trail builder?
Nice video tw’s are a blast. I was wondering whenever u go riding by yourself what kind of gear or items do you bring with you incase anything were to happen
That was a great video! Very enjoyable, good shots and very good editing. So obviously you've got off-road chops. This can't be your only bike, or perhaps you used to ride off-road and now just play on the TW. If it's the latter, I get it... Finances or life situation could certainly cause one to grasp the meme "It's more fun to go fast on a slow bike than it is to go slow on a fast bike..." Whatever it is, I'm an experienced off-roader and can tell an experienced rider. Did (do?) you ride trials? Or good old fashioned off-road on a dirt bike? Anyhow, thanks for the upload and the several minutes of great entertainment!
+gncc1race Thanks so much! I've been riding offered since I was 5. My other, dirt only bike, is a 09 KTM XCW 300, but it doesn't get ridden nearly as much these days, due to time basically. Thats why I ride the trails to and from work, on the TW or XT. Although I do agree with the sentiment of 'more fun to go fast on a slow bike'. You really feel like your pushing it on TW200 when your tapped out, but in reality your going perfectly safe speed, haha. My parents were trials riders and I grew up riding their old TY250's, and I did ride trials for a while in high school on a 92 gas gas, it taught me a lot! Regret ever selling it, but I will have another one of these days! I've been really wanting to get into vintage trials comp's as well lately.
Do you think the XT250 Duel Sport Yamaha would be just as good of a bike. I'm just not so sure about the fatty tires. In my youth I've ridden a lot... deep sand river riding, hill climbing, and single track trails. I'm wanting a bike to explore... pleasure riding jeep trails... kind of thing. Too the xt250's are fuel injected so no issues in high altitude. And the WR is even water cooled and 6 gears. I know the cost is higher, but not that much. I guess my question today is... if you were to purchase a duel sport bike today... would your choice still be the 200 fat tire? Assuming cost wasn't much of a issue... and the other two models Yamaha offers both have a tad bit larger engine? Good Video !
Shane, great vid! Watched you go to work like 10 times! Just bought my first bike..a TW. Have you done anything (engine/sprocket) to yours? Mine (2013) sounds like it is screaming at 50mph. Thanks!
+Steven Teel Thank you Steven! Y'know, I was told it has a 16 tooth front sprocket but haven't actually checked. First gear is a little bit high, but has a good top speed. They're super fun bikes. Cant wait to be back on mine!
Shane, just a quick question. Based on our observations, why is the footage so sharp in your video? GoPro or clone? And any specific processing procedures for the upload? Thanks.
I wanted to say two things: 1) I had been on the fence about a TW200 for a while and your two vids played a small but pivotal role in selling me on it 2) what are those birds in your vids and what's wrong with them? are they some sort of, idk, grouse that all just hate motorcycles and also lack a fear response?
They are a Grouse, and yeah, they like to protect their territory and will come right up to you to scare you away when you get in their space, pretty funny.
+Nels Marcussen Appreciate that. I myself get tired of watching POV vids, because it never shows how steep or technical the trail is. But it is a lot easier to film POV videos! Hence why I haven't done a all bike video in a while.
Great riding and super shots......Thank you for taking all the time setting up the camera for the long shots rather than carrying the camera.....makes the best viewing pleasure......Thank you.
Yes I agree, I get tired of POV only videos, but it is a pain filming yourself!
Great Video, Makes me want to go ride
Just watched a boatload of TW videos and yours was hands down the best. Thanks.
Thanks so much!
Great video! I sure love riding my TW in the PNW. See you on the trail...
One of my favorite TDub videos ever! You are a really smooth rider. Loved the music and shot sequences.
Thank you! Time for another one soon me thinks.
Love your videos bro. Great trails, great skills and fantastic sound tracks. A couple of friends and I ride TWs in Scotland. Your videos really showcase the bike's ability. A serious look at the Yamaha TW and beautifully displayed by a fantastic rider... Ride free my brother !!!
Kelly Oswald Thanks for the kind words! Must be some lovely riding for the TW in Scotland!
very nice! well done!
man that was a cool video, liked the music too. all you need is a surfboard, tent, and a fishing pole and you are ready for anything.
+tybo Haha thanks man! I'm just missing the surfboard from that list but hopefully will add one to the quiver soon!
Best TW vid i've seen so far. Bud that's some great riding, keep the camera rolling. I ride a TW in South Africa.
Thanks Glenn Curtis ! Would love to rid in SA someday!
I like the video man! Thanks for taking the time to make it.
You make a TW look like fun off road
that's what i am trying to say
If your offroad than anythings fun! Really great bike.
Dope track, dope beat, dope video.

What a fun little bike.
A++++++ Thanks, time well spent.
You should keep making videos buddy.. Love the content and editing.. Top notch!!! Wish I had the editing skills.

Never ridden the TW on dunes, it might do alright despite that lack of power, those wheels are pretty floaty.
Nice video tw’s are a blast. I was wondering whenever u go riding by yourself what kind of gear or items do you bring with you incase anything were to happen

Thank you, yeah I havent made too many videos like it cause its kind of a pain to film yourslef!
How Green Was My Valley (!)
cool

+Shane Donogh title of the song name?
@@ShaneDonogh So LOVE your response! Exactly the same for me! Still LOVE your video too!

Dude if I could I would ride with ya. You be careful on ya own
That magic mushroom could have been used by at least 40 people. Ah, ha, ha.
Shane, just a quick question. Based on our observations, why is the footage so sharp in your video? GoPro or clone? And any specific processing procedures for the upload? Thanks.
Great video! Are you near North Bend or Issaquah? I live in Tacoma.
+Tim Hegg Thanks! I live North of North Bend, close to Duvall.
What gearing to you run on the TW? Want to gear mine for trails in Idaho. Tkz.
what tires are you running ? Stock? What kind of pressure?
are you riding in North Bend? I'm in Renton
+78ginop Close! This is near Duvall
how tall are you? that bike looks perfect for your stature. I've been looking into one of these bikes but my fear is that I'm to tall and heavy.
I'm 5'9" 175. Fits me pretty great, although the handlebars could be a bit taller.
Good vid tho
How much pressure do you run for those kinda trails
I never really measure, but I keep them pretty firm most of the time as I drive on a 55mph highway to get there.
I wanted to say two things:
1) I had been on the fence about a TW200 for a while and your two vids played a small but pivotal role in selling me on it
2) what are those birds in your vids and what's wrong with them? are they some sort of, idk, grouse that all just hate motorcycles and also lack a fear response?
They are a Grouse, and yeah, they like to protect their territory and will come right up to you to scare you away when you get in their space, pretty funny.
1:20 and... bird :З
need more vids. bout time someone rides it and puts in perspective on how the bike really functions. all other vids are lame!
+Nels Marcussen Appreciate that. I myself get tired of watching POV vids, because it never shows how steep or technical the trail is. But it is a lot easier to film POV videos! Hence why I haven't done a all bike video in a while.
make more of this video >>you can ride 2
Thank you! Hopefully more soon!
northwest is the best
Hoobering Agreed!
ОХУЕННО!!!
do a snow video. twsnow donuts or go nuts
That would be a blast! I did one with my XT 225
