The 90's and 110's got quite a following for putting around the mountains. Should be a great little bike.

Fuel injected too, which is always nice

I was mainly looking for an on road/ offroad trail bike like the Yamaha TW200, or XT 225 or 250 so I could use it anywhere you could take a 4WD hunting vehicle. I don't think there are as many trail restrictions for street legal trail bikes as there are for straight dirt bikes...Not sure if you could pull a trailer like the guy in the vid has with all trail bikes though...

Might be fun for an old man to putt around on.
Like me. 🤠

Wonder what the top speed is ? They need a camo version.

Wish there was a bike rack of sorts to carry it on my back bumper.

I still wouldn't mind a BW350 ( like I could find one locally). We are close to sand dunes and decent trails. Not to mention our property.

That’s plenty fast. Bout what I figured. The old Trail 70 I had as a kid would do 50 mph.

An awful lot of non-modern young men, and older men, rode them back in the 70's.

Some still have them and refuse to let them go for less than more than I'm willing to pay.

The old ones would go many many places and if the new ones work as well, I expect they could get a hunter into a whole lot of places. And pack a bit of weight out a lot longer distance than just on foot.


I am familiar with the bikes, I was growing up during that time. My comment, made in jest, was to imply that today's young man was also included. You know, the real rugged type so often seen.

In the 1970's, the sneaky trick was to bore out a Trail 90 cylinder and run a 125 piston. The stock 90's couldn't even get close.

It would be sweet if the Big 4 dirt bike manufacturers brought back the Fat Tire dirt bikes like the BW350...Seems like they got killed off just because of the scare over 3 wheelers being dangerous and they had big tires like the 3 wheeler...Only ones I have found being made now are made by Pitster Pro. The biggest one they make is a 190cc...I would think if they made a bigger Fat Tire dirt bike they could find a big niche with hunters because they would be cheaper than 4 wheelers, and actually maybe not as dangerous as 4 wheelers...

Got it. Humor.

For those of us on the slow end, perhaps an informative image of "today's young man" might help with the picture you were trying to draw?

Is this along the lines of what you were alluding to? laugh

There will be a line a mile long to buy either model. The RV people will love tossing one on the back of their RV or inside the truck bed.
