199cc and a widowmaking 14 horsepower. A lot of people call their motorcycles "toys," but this bike really feels like one.

This and the TW200 look like a blast.

They're pretty similar overall, and even use the same tire sizes. The Vanvan is more approachable and definitely has a lower seat height. It's also fuel injected, which I guess is nice. Just don't expect to be anywhere in a hurry. Its realistic top speed is about 70 on flat ground. If you meet a hill, that'll be significantly reduced. So despite being "technically" legal for use on highways where I live, I relegate this machine to back roads only.

Here's a 0-60 pull on mine:

70 on flat ground is faster than I expected.

Pretty much all of my commute is 45 mph or slower. It would easily do that, and I've considered the VanVan, TW, Grom, and Himalayan. But I recently traded two worn out bikes in on one nice new bike, and I'm really enjoying having just one bike to ride.

Damn bro. 0-60mph in one minute!

Lol. Looks like a fun toy I always imagine I want a smaller bike to just putt around on. They seem so fun.

It gets kick ass mileage, too. Somewhere in the realm of 65-75 MPG, depending on how many hills you have to go up.
