Using a dirt bike.

But wouldn't a low seat height CRF or TTR accomplish the same without the draw back of the big tire?

No experience with the CRF but yes the TTR eliminates the big tire issues but I only noticed the big tire issues at speed if you ride the TW likes it’s intended it’s good but like I said there are better choices.

Forget the bike man!!! I don’t think Moto and hunting are a good combination. Even with my experience, I found it too sketchy when packing in with a full kit. I’ve had many types including a TW200 and didn’t like it enough to keep it.

While I still ride Moto on a local track, I stick to 4 wheels when hunting now (and just enough to get to a spike camp trailhead)

I’ve lost more hunting seasons because of dirt bikes than the other way around! Heck, this is the first year I’m actually glad I didn’t draw anything. Broke BOTH wrists and shattered my tib and fib in June.

Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway? Not sure about that anymore.

Luckily for me I don’t need to watch someone else’s videos. I have my own experiences to draw from. My kid was riding out quarters when he was 12. I’ve been paid to ride motorcycles in the wilds of Idaho for going on 30 years…but freedom of choice is a wonderful thing.

I have and use a crf230, it needed a light bar and it does just fine. Bud of mine bought a new Yamaha tw200, he was able to go places I did, but it was way under powered. He is 6' 190lbs and is selling it for a crf235 or a 250. The Yamaha did fine on dirt roads but start up a single track and any grade. You were Fred Flintstoning the entire way. The tires were not aggressive enough for anything but a two track or dirt road.

We use the bikes In Idaho in Sept.

Sorry to hear that man. Shattering a wrist is NOT fun.
