I've got a buddy with more into his TW200 than it cost to buy it new lol. Custom stretched rear swing arm, suspension, lights, etc., it's a pretty cool bike.

Was the rider buying air or water? I've got dirt to sell them!

Filling the radiator…

It’s easy to go overboard. Mine has upgraded suspension, carb, pegs and headlight, although still in original housing. It’s like riding a CT125 with enough power to do highway runs.

There's a couple bikes I've been watching for the last few years because I wanted them, the Trail 125 and TW200. Both are unicorns, it seems. TW sightings have been rare, since I started paying attention I've spotted 2 parked in front of a restaurant last year, and another 2-3 times around town, and never came across one in a dealer. CT125 I've never seen out in the wild, and only one in a dealer that was sold and waiting to be picked up.

Luckily I've been able to acquire both bikes and can now see them in my own garage. My own weird pair of rare bikes.

Congrats Eury! I also own a Trail and a TW and can vouch for how unique they are!

Yesterday I was riding my Trail around in the forests around Big Bear Lake in So.Cal. (near Bluff Lake) and came across a rider on a TW. We had similar riding styles and were both riding solo, so after chatting trail-side for a few minutes we paired-up and rode together for a while. The looks we got from other motorists (mostly Jeeps) were fun as these two 'Unicorn' bikes putted along!

I will say that for medium to hard trail riding, I'll take my TW over my Honda Trail. While riding yesterday my TW friend and I came across a rather deep water crossing. There was no way I was going to do it on my Trail with stock tires, plus the water would have been about as high as the top of the engine on the Trail. The TW I was riding with went through it (water came-up mid-calf on the TW's rider) but otherwise made it through with no problems.

For easy to moderate trails the 125 does quite well on them, though riding on washed-out roads with silt on them made my stock front tire want to wash-out more then I was comfortable with. I'm planning on upgrading to a more aggressive tire before my next trip to the forest.

I get that. By comparison my TW is largely stock. Upgraded pegs, knobby front tire, a Seat Concepts seat cover and a Yamaha Rack are about all the mods I've done to mine. It's an '04 with 11K miles on it
