New Coleman models

[sparkwizard]

I saw a B200 at Tractor Supply last weekend. It is a beefy beast. It had a gear reduction jack shaft, no torque converter and no rear suspension. $799. No thank you.

Yep they pricey.

I wonder what the other two models with torque converters cost?

 

[sparkwizard]

I wonder where you read that they come with torque converters. Tractor Supply and Camping World both say "proven centrifugal clutch".

They're only selling the one with the clutch. There are three different new 200's.

You can see all the bikes and their parts at the Coleman website.

Should be bumping used market prices a bit in sympathy.

True. I just swung in sportsman's warehouse. Same mini bike was $899.

Did you sit on that bike? It's a big solid bike with a nice seat and mid-mounted foot pegs.

I did not. They didn't have any on display they were buried in the back. I had to ask an associate to check if they had any in stock.

Coleman's first small bike, the CT100U, was their coolest, IMO. An old-school minibike look for less than the cost of a rotted out vintage frame....

Totally agree; why did they quit making to best one!

Have they totally stopped making it? Is it discontinued but they're selling off the remaining stock?

It's still listed on their site... https://www.colemanpowersportsusa.com/CT100U

I think it’s maybe the Baja Doodlebug Gen 1 that I miss more.

I don't know.

I don't know.

The lowly CT100U is worth keeping an eye out for. People seem to buy the Chinese bikes at the big box stores but perhaps the big box stores across the board just aren't stocking the 'base models' anymore. All I seem to see lately (Lowe's) are the deluxe balloon-tired Baja Warrior-style:



I hadn't noticed it before but that's a spring seat. Also, the plastics have a faux 'carbon fiber' look, aka a fine pattern checkerboard of metallic gray and black.

UUUUGGGGG LLLLEEEEEEEE

Walmart and Amazon used to carry the CT100U. I have two of them, bought the first one from Walmart for $299 with free shipping in 2017, bought the second one from Amazon for $365 with free shipping in 2019. Ah, the good ol' days...

Tractor Supply has the New Coleman B200RSV as of today. Their price is $999.00. I'm sure it will be offered at lower prices at other dealers soon.

Nice looking mini ! When you get a chance, could you please let us know the size of the output shaft (3/4 or 16,mm) and also your overall opiniion.

 

[rz_racer_69]

overall opinion.

So far, it’s very nice. Smooth suspension, good proven 196cc motor & throttle, great disk brakes, outstanding head-light, comfy seat & pegs position (still not under rider though, same as previous big Coleman bikes). Easy for this old man to unload, unpack, & assemble by himself, although it took a bit of ingenuity and a flat jack. Heavy box ~175lb with 158lb bike and shipping frame.
The hardest part was getting the front tire to seat on the rim. Tried a tie-down, tried fire (brake cleaner), and what worked was a new ratchet strap very tight (much tighter than I could get with the regular tie-down).
Once that was done, it was a cakewalk.
