Fat Tire Enduro Trial Revival Suzuki RV 200 VanVan Mini Adventure

Suzuki Updated the Fat Tire VAN VAN, FULL of potential for fun.

🏍 #🏍 OmahaBikeNight

The Suzuki RV-200 Van Van clearly shows the potential in modern dual sport / adventure bikes with fuel injection and moderately fat tires.

Aside from stock commuter applications it has the potential to be a great super light  supermoto.. Think Sumo bike on rails.

It would make an excellent weekend camping trail bike or even a hobbyist trails bike for going slow over the rough stuff.


Beginner bike possibilities abound since it's low seat height and light weight would not intimidate. With the right tires and suspension mode the Suzuki Van Van could even evolve into a fair dualsport enduro cross trainer where speed is not the answer but traction is king.

Here's some comments on the Van-Van:
"retro enduro styling"
"It's now a 5-speed, not a 6-speed bike."
"... air-cooled, 4-stroke, single-cylinder lump with the emphasis on low-to-mid range power."
".. with just 30.3 inches (770mm) seat height, same as the 125cc, it’s a viable option for the shorter or less confident rider.
"33mm-innner-tube telescopic front forks"'aluminum wheel rims"
"18-inch 130/80 front tyre"
"14-inch 180/80 rear tyre""200 only weighs 282lbs (128kg), wet."
" 1.7 gallon (6.5-litre) fuel tank""projected to cost$4544 (£3199) at current exchange rates"
"The VanVan 200 will be available in three colour options: Metallic Triton Blue, Metallic Mat Fibroin Grey or Solid Black."
