Well, probably if Roost is riding it.

Roost took Rubicon's TW200 for a short spin down a firebreak on Sunday. Fastest I was going on the KLR was about 60. Roost was doing just over 70 on the TW!  :eek7:

Crazy guy!

Just a short clip, but impressive none the less. It looks seriously fast, probably because he is almost on the ground. It was interesting to see how far he leans forward in the turn. He was powersliding the TW around that corner!

That's impressive!

The T-Dub is good on flat sand but runs out of suspension very quickly in the whoops.  Then it becomes a spiteful, unrideable little bronco.
 
Not really built for speed and MX style riding, but it can be ridden fast on the flat stuff.

It can be ridden normally in the whoops though. Check last bit of Rubicon's vid. 3rd gear and comfortable pace.

Anybody have an idea where I can get progressive springs for the front?
 
Not progressive springs but it makes a HUGE improvement.

Ek will liewer nie vir Roost op n grown up yammie sien nie!

Maar daar is n voeeltjie wat fluit dat hy dalk gaan "downgrade" na n BMW G450X toe. Net so dat hy die ander manne ook n kans kan gee.  :pot:
