2006 Yamaha TW200 Dual Sport reviews

Got this bike basically to play with it. It's street legal and a great trail bike. It also turns heads because it's different. Big tires makes it handle great off-road and equally great on the street. The bike comes with a stock 50 tooth sprocket in the rear which makes it rev high at 55mph. I changed mine to a 45 tooth sprocket and it's a lot better. I have been to the freeway with it for short runs (10 miles or less). With the 45 tooth, it tops out at 70mph. I will recommend this bike to everybody especially shorter riders for it sits low to the ground and center of gravity is low. There is a tw forum (yamaha tw200 forum) that has endless info on this bike.... I hope this review helps.

This is my first road bike after several dirt bikes. This little boy is fun. It pulls my fat butt around w/o problems. I love that I can just turn off the road and follow a trail or railroad tracks ... great for short runs around town ... but not a bike for highway driving ...
