2002 Yamaha TW200 Dual Sport reviews

This is a great bike for beginners and I should know being a 37 year old mother of 2 who has never ridden an adult sized dirt bike(my kids have a 50(suzuki) and an PW 80). I hopped on and was able to immediately take it for a spin which REALLY impressed my spouse. The fact that I am 5'3" and 130 pounds does make the bike a little heavy and hard to control(such as backing up). My husband is now looking for one for himself since he is the only one in the family without a dirt bike. Show less

This bike is a dream bike... (In the dirt) it looks so small and squeamish, but it's a blast to ride. I can take corners with heavy traction, while my friends with 650's (dual sport) can't catch me. Power sliding is slower than actual traction (in this case). The pavement is a different story though... It moves along with the others till about 60mph, then it's, "see you later guys, I'll catch up to you later... and pass you when you're getting a speeding ticket" I know its just a thumper bike, but I really enjoy riding it...It's loads of fun, because it's so easy to handle. It also seems to run on air, and never fail. It's quite frankly, a little monster. Show less
