show you my new bike that I've bought and this is mostly for my subscribers and

my loyal followers that support me in the last couple of months I really appreciate it and hopefully soon I'll get back to regular videos so before I
0:17
show you the bike I give you I'll give you a couple of clues and then please
0:21
pause and comment below to guess what I have bought so I've got my welding
0:26
gloves on, my safety goggles, this is my riding gear for this bike, I've got my tin cup for my
0:31
coffee for this video and I've got my riding boots, my wheelies on. So before I show you
0:38
please pause and comment below. I'd love to hear what you think I bought and then I'll explain just now
0:48
Hi, I'm Francois from adventurebiketroop.com and I just bought a bike. Recently I've made a video
0:55
or a couple of months ago weeks ago I made a video where I looked at a couple
1:00
of smaller dual sport bikes like 200s 250s like the TW the XT 250 the KLX 300 those type of bikes DR 200 and the reason was that the XR was a bit much for me it quite tall I dropped it
1:16
quite often and I ride mostly technical off-road these days so you can check that video out up here
1:22
and thank you for all the comments on that video so I bought a smaller bike one of the bikes was a
1:27
a TW 200 now that's an AG or agricultural bike now what is better than an
1:33
AG bike that's what I bought well let me show you okay so you might be asking
1:39
what is better than an AG bike so I'm sitting on one only thing better than an
1:45
air bike is two AG bikes yes I bought two Yamaha AG 200 and so let me show you
1:57
Okay, so this really wasn't planned. I was looking online. I almost bought a Gen 1 KLR that needed a ring job It was smoking quite badly And I was ready to pay the guy and then I just checked and the paperwork was not correct So I was very disappointed and I had a look online again and I found one of these AG200s
2:24
I've been looking at TWs and the Yamaha AG200 uses exactly the same engine
2:33
These bikes were started, the production started in 1984 so that was even before the TW and
2:38
still look exactly the same they're still sold by MR in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa
2:43
a lot of parts in Africa and in South America. So the bikes stayed almost exactly the same over the
2:50
years. Now it's very difficult to find one I've been looking at these as well but it's very
2:55
difficult to find one that was registered because they're used on farms same as TW 200s they usually
3:01
don't have papers they're usually not street legal so it's very difficult then to get them
3:04
street legal again or roadworthy and and the prices are ridiculous I've have looked at TWs
3:11
because they looked like awesome little bikes for what I need and I bought both of these for less than the cheapest TW that I could find in a good condition same year these are 2014 models so they not that old even 7 years old and the cheapest
3:28
TW that I could find for more or less the same condition was more than both of these
3:33
bikes and then it was without papers or registration and these two are both on the road, road legal
3:40
so I mean I just couldn't I just couldn't pass that deal by and and had a look I was going to
3:48
buy one and then decided well what the hell my wife also rides bikes you'll you can check out
3:54
our video where we did a Cape to Cairo trip 9300 miles on two Chinese 200cc delivery bikes
4:00
and and we've been meaning to do something similar again in the future so these are the
4:07
perfect bikes and the bikes we should have used on that trip. So anyway, stick around for more videos on what we get up to on these AG200s and thank
4:16
you for joining and thank you for watching. If you have any questions on these bikes or stuff that you'd love to know or see on these
4:22
bikes on this channel, please let me know and I'll try to include that
4:27
