TW200 196cc

Change the rear sprocket from 50T to 45T and it makes a decent street
bike that gets over 100 mpg. Still has plenty of umph to carry you over
those steep hills in top gear. With it's big fat tires looks like a much
bigger bike. Thinking about putting a side car and rag top for winter use.

I replaced the 45T rear sprocket on my DR200 with a 39T for highway use.
It does well for such a small engine.

A sidecar on a TW? I'd like to see that.

I just bought a 2008 DR650 and really like it. Gets about 50 MPG, which
is 25 less then the DR200, but still better then my van. The DR200 is
for sale if anyone is interested.
