  • Instead of some faraway land, Zack and Ari are off on a local adventure, and turned it into a challenge: what’s the cheapest (and most expensive) way to go camping on a motorcycle? Ari has chosen his weapon, and Zack has piled multiple weapons on board his machine. They’re off to the wilderness where blue skies, and some trouble, await.

      I’ve been wondering if anyone commutes on it. I’m looking at the vanvan because I have a short commute on city roads, and also being able to ride some trails is a plus. Wanted to know if you’ve modded it at all or made any gearing changes, etc.

      @@adamdowns3075 yes, I changed the rear sprocket to 42 from the original 46 so i can go 60mph without over revving the engine. Put a small windscreen to cut through the wind at higher speeds. Put a rear rack. For city commuting it's perfectly fine stock.

    Great video! That looked like a lot of fun!
    I was looking at a VanVan 200, for the first time ever, just yesterday. It took me back to simpler days when I would 'adventure bike' (we just called it "ride" back then) on my 1972 Honda XL-250. The world needs more basic motorcycles like that: mechanically simple with seats low enough for normal people. We used to think 5" of suspension was plenty and it actually is so there's no compelling reason to have a 36" seat height on an enduro.
    All of that being said, it would be really good if the VanVan had a big brother. Perhaps a VanVan 350? A little more oomph for those big hills would be nice.

      The reason it feels like a commercial - is because it basically is a commercial. who do you think lends them the bikes? If they shit talk the manufactures, they burn bridges, and stop being invited to luxurious European test rides. It's a win win, manufactures get advertising, and reviewers are given bikes to "review", expensive holidays and media content like UA-cam videos and magazines that make them money.

      Umaxen 00 I was thinking 400 but yea 300 would be good too. Basically just enough to really get it to highway speeds without adding a ton of weight. It looks very fun for around town and off road.

    Van-van was DEFINITELY the better choice. I probably would've gone with a CRF250L, the fancy one. By the way, did you guys remember to deflate your tires when you went offroad? That would make the Van-van into a BEAST on those roads. (and would also help out the pig) Ari could've at least had a 1 man tent. You guys have deadly spiders out there, probably poisonous snakes too. The tarp was not as genius of an idea as he thought.

      Jake Fejer Florida is a pretty laid-back state, but kind of backwards when it comes to motorcycles. It's totally cool to ride around wearing nothing but board shorts and flip-flops, but God forbid you should filter through a stoplight.

    Big Van Van fan! I have a bunch of "big bikes" (5) couple HDs, Yamaha Super Tenere, Suzuki BKing and KTM 300 XCW.... Longtime rider dirt and street and been daily So Cal street rider since late 80s. The "little guy" (#6) 2019 VanVan is absolutely a favorite! I love just unwinding and wasting the day putting on it in the local mountains both on & off road (though I admit I love the thing, I refuse to beat on it and just keep to Jeep trail stuff off road) Of course looks, such a great, funky, retro bike! GO, GO Van Van! 👍👍

      What they ask and what you pay is not the same. I have a 2017 Van Van 200 that I bought in 2017 new for $3900. I know some people will still scoff at that price but I really love riding it. I added a top case and commute on it. It hauls my 250lb ass around to 60-65 easily and scores 80mpg. Oil changes cost $10 and valve checks take 30 min.

    • @DistinctOgre
      @DistinctOgre 6 років тому +10

      forrysc
      I hear ya on the valve checks. Other than that it's kinda dumb to give $4800, or $4000, or even $3000 for this, when u can easily buy a real motorcycle for a lot less...

    Always good to see a bit of spirited riding rather than staid, sanitary stuff all of the time. Both you guys hit the nail on the head in that dept. It's the biker spirit to have a bit of that fun in the right settings.

    I hate how there are no real or unbiased reviews of the Van Van... all of them are manly men complaining about it not being a "real bike" and not taking it seriously enough to actually give a fair or inclusive review..
    Just "It's a fun silly little joke bike lol look how crappy and silly it is!..."
    No thanks. I actually want a Van Van, I'd like an actual review please. How does it ride? How does it handle? Is it a good commuter, or a city bike.. is it fast enough for short jumps on the highway? How are the ergonomics? Is loud? Or is it quiet enough for fun midnight rides without waking the neighborhood? Is it easy to learn on, or learn to work on? Fuel efficiency? Range per tank? Parts availability?
    ...
    We get none of this, just jokes about how it's a fun baby bike for babies and if you buy one you're just as much a joke as it is... not cool. Not everyone needs or wants 1200cc or wants a 600lb beast of a bike to learn on. Some people just want to cruise around locally and enjoy riding a small bike.
    It really sucks I can't find a single decent review of this bike, because I like it alot and really want one.
