Suzuki VanVan 200 '18 | Taste Test
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2018
- With the latest slew of Scrambler-like bikes roaming around the scene, then the latest crop of minibikes are the hottest item nowadays. One bike is currently ahead of the curve!
Hailing from 1972, the RV125/VanVan 125 revolutionized the motorcycle world way before the Grom (MSX125) and the Z125 came to fruition. At the same time, it followed the footsteps of the classic Triumph and Ducati scramblers of the past.
Now on its 2nd generation, how will this new VanVan 200 (RV200) stacks up with the current crop of oddly-sized bikes? Watch me giggle as I ride along!
Purely unscripted, completely random talk.

I own a 2018 gsxr 750 and let me just say the VANVAN is a must in MIAMI!!SOO SO FUN!!if you dont like a?vespa then this it! The grom was too small..this is a fun bike! Good power compare to a scooter..brakes are nice..super light bike..u wont b disappointed..its fun to cruise frfr💪💪💪
I share the same sentiment! Thanks for watching!
I think this is one of the coolest little bikes on the market right now but the grom and honda monkey seem to get all the attention.
I agree, on which I'm kinda sad for it. Suzuki doesn't even bother to promote this gem! I'm just glad that Suzuki (& SSR/Benelli) would let people demo ride these sub-200cc bikes on open roads, very commendable effort in my honest opinion!
Although, Honda is doing an awesome job on marketing the Monkey and the Grom!
Thanks for watching!
This bike was made to compete with the YamahaTW200. Not a moped or any street bike. It's a street leaning enduro.
I am aware of that, although at the time of the recording I haven't known about the existence of the TW200 or even the Kawasaki KSR 110 Pro.
So I had to use the Z125P, the MSX125 Grom, TNT135, and other off-road capable mopeds/underbones such as the Honda XRM125 as a comparison. Although this VanVan can squarely compete with the underbones here in Asia!
Thank you for watching!
I have some kevlar bell bottoms. I need to get this bike!
Go for it! You will have a hilarious time with it! Thanks for watching!
I think its a great little bike its a pity it doesn't have he old kick start too because it would of had one in the 70's. if the electric start battery is used you should have an option. I wonder if you could carry a medium sIzed springer spaniel dog on the rear in a pet carrier cage attached to a plywood base to the rear? good video thankyou. I used to own the old 1972 RT2 360 thumper2 stoke scramble and it could wheelie and kick arse and was good on the trails although the rear old springs weren't the greatest but all round a maintenance free bike loved it! this bike looks similar except for the height and the huge tire on the front
Most new motorcycles in North America doesn't sport many kickstarters anymore, not even the ancient Kawasaki KLR & Suzuki DR-series has one!
If you're really itching for a real kick-start option, the Yamaha SR400 is the only solid option! I think it's one of the few kick-start-only motorcycles in the market in North America brand-new!
Thanks for watching!
Gostaria os testes da Suzuki van van , fossem feitos por um especialista que falassem em português , pois não falo outra língua . Seria muito bom , pois me colocaria mais a par da mecânica , desempenho e outras coisas mais , que me interessaram nessa moto , que , para mim é simplesmente fantástica !!!
The best Portuguese-speaking bike reviewer, as far as I know, is *@CagerOnTwoWheels* .
But I doubt that the Suzuki VanVan 200 is even available in Europe, much less in Portugal.
This is all I can do, I hope it helps.
Thank you for watching!
Top speed?
According to the interwebs, they said it could top-out at 70 mph or 113 km/h. Thanks for watching!
How can it feel like you're riding a scooter? You change gear and your feet aren't in front of you?
I like this bike more than the review.
Thanks for watching!
I wish I knew how to ride
Well, you can!
You can inquire at any motorcycle riding schools and programs around the globe! All you need to do is to find one.
I highly recommend taking ANY of these programs, even when you learn the basics, you WILL crave for more. Like me!
Thank you for watching!
Scooter is way more versatile to a commuter. This bike is just a toy
That's true for the most part. But on areas like in Southeast/South Asia; bikes like these (UJMs, mini-scramblers, and under-bones) may not have those cavernous under-seat spaces like a traditional scooter has, but persistent riders will still find a way to use these type of bikes to commute and live with! Thanks for watching!
I still would like to have one. Looks both fun and convienent
i have a leftover '13 genuine buddy 125 scoot & a lightly used '14 yamaha v star 250 moto; the scoot has more local runabout practicality; the moto can handle shitty roads better; both are enjoyable & neither outclasses the other by leaps & bounds; i would really enjoy a van van 200
That's the point - if your bike isn't a toy, you're not having enough fun :)
This is a DUALSPORT ,must be a reason i never meet any scooters in the woods , trails ,and fields here in upstate new york. Commuting on scooter is ok, but full size wheels are way safer in traffic.
