Will go make a post right now saying my buddy is looking for a bike. Its a FB group youre welcome to join thats called something like TW West Coast Community . Ive got a 1991 and a 1989. Ive taken the 1989 from wash 22 to the flagpole a couple times. Capable little machines if you hold it wide open. Not much has changed over the years. Around 2001 they got a front disk brake and they ditched the kickstarter. You can put the newer forks and disk brake onto the older bikes. (did that to my 1991) I think you can also modify the new motor to have kickstart. Since youre not out in the woods kickstart dont really matter. On the street you could push the bike by hand and pop the clutch to bump start it. I bought my 1991 about 15 years ago for $800. Got the 1989 about 5 years ago for $1000. The price reflects the condition. Beat up old bikes. They hold a ton of oil and dont make much power so even a 30 year old TW200 can still be cruising around. At home i will cold start the 1989 and be in a 3rd gear power slide 5 seconds later. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seemed to be readily available from different sellers on Craigslist. Buy in the crate and you assemble part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
