2001 Yamaha Dual Sport reviews

I just bought this bike about 2 months ago and it has some road miles but its in better shape than most new bikes I see. It's in very mint condition. It's altogether a fun bike. You can walk it basically on crazy trails, and at the same time get on a road or highway with ease. I've heard its top speed is 60mph. that's bullcrap, I've had my 2001 at about 70-75 on roads. I usually ride on the trails around here at about 40-45. Show less

Had the bike for a couple of years now and I must say that it has done everything I wanted it to. I wasn't sure which bike to pick as a beginner, and I feel I have made the right choice. It gets about 65 MPG & is great for putting around town. I've had it off road a few times & it works very well. Keep in mind that I'm not a pro rider. I had one problem the second time I took it offroad - I think it got too hot & it wouldnt start.(A friend had to bail me out!) That was probably due to my inexperience, since I haven't had a problem since. It's a fun bike to ride! I was wondering if anyone could tell me where to get some aftermarket parts - they seem to be hard to find! Show less

I just got my XT this weekend i put 10 miles on it when we got home. as of now our family has 2 XT225 they run great and have very little miles on them. my dads is a 2000 and mine is a 2001. they both have alot of power and will do a wheelie easily if you want it to. mine i have not trail ridden on. but it does get a little washy in the sand. im only 14 and 5 foot 6 and its perfect. great bike for amatuer to pro riders.

I purchased this 2001 TW 200 with 1345mi several months ago, and find it to be most impressive. I am 6'0 and weigh 230 lbs. I can travel easily at 60 mph with lots to spare. The seat and suspension offer a comfortable ride both on and off road. At 264 lbs, the bike is pretty nimble on the trails. It takes turns and curves nicely, and because of it's oversized tires, you need not worry about bogging in soft sand.On the road however, it would be nice to have a sixth gear, as it appears to be geared a little low for freeway travel.Overall a great bike. Even for us big guys! Show less

I'm 5' nothin and around 110lbs and it is a perfect fit, and will cruise comfortably @ over 70 mph. I love the electric start, as it has never failed me. The suspension, and brakes are also superb. Perfect bike for people that are small to average size. I love how I don't have to load it on a trailer to hit the trails as it's street legal. Show less

All I can say is this is a wonderful bike very nice features for road use, could use a bit bigger engine. Show less
