I love this as a beginner bike. It is so fun to ride because you are always changing gears. It is great on and off road. Very reliable and simple machine. The bike is very light and easy to control. I love the tw200 community. You can have any questions answered on their forums. Cons- I wish it had a slightly higher top cruising speed. I wish it was a taller seat because I’m 6’2” with long legs.

The bike is geared too low so I changed the rear sprocket. This bike is not for adults. It's just too slow on the road. I put a Maxxis ATV tire on the rear and a Dunlop 606 tire on the front. It now goes great through sand and snow. Get the DRZ400SM or the DRZ 400S! I've also had the DR650 and the ... read more
The bike is geared too low so I changed the rear sprocket. This bike is not for adults. It's just too slow on the road. I put a Maxxis ATV tire on the rear and a Dunlop 606 tire on the front. It now goes great through sand and snow. Get the DRZ400SM or the DRZ 400S! I've also had the DR650 and the KLR650 but they're both too heavy for going off road. The DRZ400 is perfectly balanced for on and off road with the right amount of power. don't buy the TW200.

This is my second TW 200. I have owned many motorcycles over the years, but none as enjoyable or versatile as this one. One of the most comfortable seats and riding positions I've ever enjoyed.

This is my second TW 200. I have owned many motorcycles over the years, but none as enjoyable or versatile as this one. One of the most comfortable seats and riding positions I've ever enjoyed. You can ride at 60 mph for hours at a time in relative comfort. It cannot be stopped when going off-road either. It will climb straight up the side of almost any hill and it is almost impossible to get stuck in the mud (but if you do it is easy to pull out because of the low seat height and light weight). This is a great bike for a beginner and capable enough for the experienced rider.

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.

Wanted one for years. Finally broke down and got one and there's nothing about it I don't like. A good Yamaha dealer will stand behind their product, I know because I work at one. And, in this neck of the woods, you have to be good to your customers or you will go out of business.... read more

I bought this '05 hold over in August of '06. It had never been started! There are deals to be had out there! After 15 years on 4 wheels, I decided to get back on 2. It feels great! The TW200 and its 'fat' tires really work well in the soft or where traction is limited. Though handling on the road is a little odd, it's not objectionable. I needed something to get me to work and take me down some trails now and then. I was looking for MPG and utility. Two things motorcycle salesmen just DO NOT understand. The TW200 delivers it. My two complaints: The instrument lights (neutral / high beam / turn) burn out quickly. I've had the high beam go already and only owned the thing for two months. Also, the engine sounds noisy to me. I'm used to my old Hondas and, well, if they sounded like this, I'd tear them down and rebuild them. I can squeeze 98MPG out of it. Yes! Almost 100 miles per gallon! I average 85MPG. Most of my driving is in 45 MPH speed zones. 35 = 95+MPG, 45 = 80+MPG. I'm experimenting with various mixes of E85, No data yet. The bike is great around town. It's fair on the trail. Low speed handling is shakey. It does well on the road but high speed cornering with that fat rear tire is a bit wierd, though, predictable.
