Nope, no one.
Congrats you are the one and olny person in the country to actually buy one!
Now that you own one, please can you tell us exactly what they do to justify looking like that? |

I think they are quite funky.
I seem to remember them being about when I was a nipper (late 70's I reckon).
How long have they been making them again, any one know?
Shame about the piddly little engine, I wonder if it would be possible to stick a four stroke mx engine in one?
Could be a future project if I ever get some spare cash ____________________ www.dirtbikerejects.co.uk

My brother had a TW125, which has a similar rear wheel. Apparently you could run up a kerb and hardly notice. Learner's offroad onroad bike I suppose?
Changed to a ER 5 and he could feel every little bump in the road. |

oh dear. i think you should have gone for at least a cg.
heck, what a gs? i know i am biased, but surely it looks better than the van-van?
(actually, someone did "have" one.john reynolds. it was in a competition in mcn, if it makes you feel better ____________________ Now own a Fireblade!! Speed Limits? Bah! |

Hi it is the new 2004 model i bought i decided to go for that because i passed my cbt on it so i already knew the bike if you know what i mean, i sat on a few different bikes in the shop i didnt feel right sat on the sporty (racing style bikes) also i considered getting the honda xl125 that was my first choice but read some bad reports on them on net so i chose the van van also it is a 4 stroke engine.
Some people may say they are slow but i have had over 60 mph on it and felt it could have done more, but it is a really smooth ride and i only got it till i pass my full test then im moving to a bigger bike.

I had a TW125 for a year before I did my test, it is very similair to the VanVan, it just looks better
And it was so easy to ride on the.... poorly surfaced roads around here.
Only ever saw one other TW125 around, and no VanVans.
They are nice bikes IMO.

I was looking into getting a VanVan, but can't afford a near brand new bike! I think they're extremely cool ____________________ Mutley - 1988 Austin Mini City - Blog
