Very nice. I love my XT 250 but would still like a TW in addition to it. I’ve ridden a TW some on the trails and street. I really like the seat and those big tires.
Watching your video Derek has inspired me to purchase a spitfire wind sheald for my Tw125 here in Suffolk in England . Had mine from new in 2004 . My extras are heated grips and crash bars to protect the engine cases , not that I've ever dropped it . Mind you saying that I once pulled up at clients house to do some gardening and my trouser leg got caught on the foot peg and I couldn't put my foot down , me and the bike went crashing over , but those crash bars saved the winkers from getting broken . Top box on the back . I'm a TW rider every day through out the year . Done 33000 miles now , love it . Thanks for posting
Hey Russel, my first bike when I passed my CBT 9 years ago was a TW 125, had the round headlight with purple/blue tank, really solid bike! I later got a Hyosung RT 125 which I had for 3 years, basically the exact same bike except the RT has a bit more HP and tops out at 70. Worth considering if the TW packs it in as they are pretty rare now in the UK.
I bought one years ago very under powered was pulling that big wheel in the back nothing like a 200 to cycle about half a quarter the power of a two cycle
Nice find! That bike is like new. Might wanna rethink that front rack design when you consider that the front wheel/fender will come almost up to the bottom of the headlight on full compression.
I live where I can explore the desert behind my house for 3 states and not see a single town or paved road. Originally bought a CRF300L for the purpose but even that has been almost too much bike for trails and dirt. Bought a TW200 for my buddies to ride along with me and man... I find myself riding that far more often lol. Shoulda just bought two TWs!
Those are NOT Phillips head screws. They are JIS, Japanese Industrial Standard. Phillips head was designed for furniture assembly. When you over tighten screws in wood you will strip the hole in the wood. The driver is designed to “cam out” when you get the screw to tight. JIS will not cam out as easily as Phillips.
If you want a front luggage rack get the ManRacks brand so it doesn't block your headlight. I have one on my TW and love it. Great cherry find. Have fun!
My German WWII motorcycle (1944 DKW NZ-350/1) is only 11.5 HP and it can go 55 mph max. The T-Dub is not a road rocket, it's a super light trail crawler.
Any liquid tank mounted to your forks/handle bars will eventually kill you..... Tool bags , small pouches yes/maybe. But much weight or liquid not a good idea..
@@DARIVSARCHITECTVS Agreed. 300cc would be perfect ! Watched lots of vids of the TW 200, & it doesn`t seem to have enough "grunt" (in stock format) to get you up/over some everyday obstacles on the trail or cruise easily at 60 on highways.
its yamaha and i just love it. i use yamaha rs100t today to transport home to work everyday. I can say any full manual to semi manual og yamaha is the best machine
atomiccat2002 it technically CAN handle that speed. (Some of them anyway.) but I would highly highly recommend not ever taking it on the freeway. I’d say keep it 55 tops. It’s just not suited for speed like that.
nice bike! i'm looking for an older one like this that still has a kicker. i cannot understand why they took it off of an off road bike. yeah, elec start is nice, but a dead battery 20 miles from a charger, and you went from a biker, to a hiker.
Yeah it's weird how they don't have enough light weight dual sports that can make hwy speed. If "max speed" is 70 mph that means at 55-60 your bike is reving and straining. Like my first bike I got a 650, for no other reason than a 250 was going to be buzzy on the hwy. Drz 400 has a top speed of 90-95. Really need that for safe hwy miles imo. Not trying to be on a motorcycle going 60 mph and getting passed. It feels so weak. Hwy speeds by me are 70 which means everyone pretty much goes 80. Obv. If u aren't going on interstates it doesn't matter but it's nice to have that option.
@@DerekChavez11 that's the joy of boney's is swallowing the odd insect, being bruised by a rhino beetle and stung on the cheek by a lone bee at 130kms an hour, that's just over 81 of those fake American measurements.
Clarke makes an aftermarket fuel tank for the TW200, it's 2.7g/10.2L. As for the "philips" bolts you mentioned. I guarantee you they aren't philips, but JIS, which looks similar, but isn't the same thing. Pick up some JIS tools for the bike. ProCycle has a bit set for $15. d1nmsnm7jsf6f9.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/26020757/JIS-vs-phillips-screws.jpg
Maybe you have gas with no ethanol where you live. I the Midwest the ethanol is disastrous to carbs. I had a Triumph with a carb that I literally had to remove and clean every 4 months if I did not ride for 4 weeks. That is a true nightmare.
greenguy4u yes we have ethanol. It will harm an efi system as well. Actually theres more to harm in an efi system. Best advice is to run stabil in your gas if whatever engine is going to sit 30 days or more.
greenguy4u I fill a five gallon can with pemium gas and some Stabile. All of my small engines get fed from it. Motorcycle, lawnmower, etc. Since I started doing it a few years ago I haven't had a single carb problem on any of my machines.
Don't let the gas sit in the tank long without stabilizer. Otherwise if you ride it often ethanol is not the boogyman some people make of it. Older bikes may have rubber/plastic in the fuel lines that will degrade from ethanol but modern stuff is made for it.
wally walton I’ve been waitin on a “book value” Tdub now for going on 3 years now, only even seen 2 used round me & they were both over 2k. If u find 1 for that price HMU.
there is no ultimate endure you cant kill 2 bird's with 1 stone I had a tdr 250 it even said the ultimate dual on the tank but even that bike had restrictions not many but did
For you people talking shit about this bike , i own a roadking and a kz 1000 77 and a tw 200 and i can tell you i have more fun on this bike than all my other bikes , yes i have been to daytona bike week peterson keywest poker run and biketober fest and all on my tw and love riding my tw , it is light fun and i dont have to prove nothing to no body buy what you like and fuck the haters out their
Rick Martyn a pipe only helps with correct jetting to boot. Trust me the pipe and jets helped tremendously. Plus the sprocket setup and its a whole new bike
Yeah... that’s why I sold it for $2900 huh?? Idk where you’re from but the cheapest ones around here are 2300-2700 with way more Miles. Definitely didn’t get ripped off.
Derek Chavez always gotta be some duechebag to comment they got better, cheaper! Just like my neighbor who owns not a fucking thing that is relentless to point out the bad on my toys instead of the badass, parts of them! Nice tw! Enjoy!
I have one of those and it's very unimpressive. To say it's the best dual sport, you must be smoking crack. The only reason I even have the thing is all the other bikes I looked at were too friggin tall. The crappy Yamaha fits me. For the same money I could have got a 650 Honda but that dang thing looks like it was designed for a giant I mean really, who is that tall?
K. W. Churchill yeah, but 2000 left over for mods vs having a newer bike that is literally the same platform since 1980s. Thing only had 600 miles on it when I got r. Ended up selling it for 2900
I’m not trying to be that guy but you spent almost half the price of a new 2018 tw200, ya got ripped dude lol now I’m not saying it’s not a nice bike because it is but you honestly paid way too much for that old of a bike regardless of how little miles were on it.
well lemme tell ya what, I sold it for $3100 and now I own a Kawasaki ninja zx6r. So I came out just fine and had a great time on that bike. I even kept all the accessories i put on it until I get a new ktm 525 to throw them on.
I bought my 2010 T-Dub for $3600 with 2600 miles, a bit high in price, but the bike was minty like new! I knew on first sight I had to have it. Still would never give it up because it's sooo much fun. The year model doesn't matter because aside from the carburetor, no significant changes were made. Buying a used one is still a great way to save money because they are very tough and long lived little machines. The design is basically the same from 1987 to present, which shows you that the biken is rock solid and very desirable despite the low horsepower. For what they are designed to do, basic overland transport, they are still the best thing available.

Great bike, earlier this year I picked up a Yamaha XT250, 2012, extremely happy with it.
I grew up racing MX. 250 two strokes, owned cb750's, owned a sportster 1200, rode sport bikes.... I want a TW200
I'm 60 now with some stupid ops on my left leg,this is the bike I want, low,light,and power great see ya!
I don’t think the tw goes fast enough to feel any wind.
Makes you that much more aerodynamic..
It’s a light bike, if you’re going 50-60 with a headwind you feel that shit
Montana CRUEL
no doubt

Nice find! That bike is like new. Might wanna rethink that front rack design when you consider that the front wheel/fender will come almost up to the bottom of the headlight on full compression.

so much horsepower... like 14. 😂

BellOnWheels yes I’ve decided against that idea... I just strap a small 1 gallon tank to the rear rack and it’s perfect. Came in handy a few times....
Yamm WR/250r?
I ❤️my T-Dub.
Nice bike,its so clean
It would be cool if they made it in a 400cc or 650cc
You'd want to go no higher than 350cc to keep it light.
350 would be a sweet spot.
@@DARIVSARCHITECTVS Agreed. 300cc would be perfect ! Watched lots of vids of the TW 200, & it doesn`t seem to have enough "grunt" (in stock format) to get you up/over some everyday obstacles on the trail or cruise easily at 60 on highways.
What about the raptor 700 motor
Interesting you say that. I've thought the same thing. Just scale up the components for a 450 and 650.
This is a TW 200. What can go wrong?
its yamaha and i just love it. i use yamaha rs100t today to transport home to work everyday. I can say any full manual to semi manual og yamaha is the best machine
Is that the oem rack??
Hmm how does this fair to the honda xr650l?
Does this bike do ok on the highway? I love off roading but want to commute on it doing 60-65 mph
atomiccat2002 it technically CAN handle that speed. (Some of them anyway.) but I would highly highly recommend not ever taking it on the freeway. I’d say keep it 55 tops. It’s just not suited for speed like that.
atomiccat2002 yeah just gear it 15/44
What gear are you on when you do wheelie?
@@solalbite3372 1st or 2nd depending on speed
"A - Chair - Bees". That is how you say it.
Famous last words...I don't think much can go wrong... :-)
nothing went wrong lol
Look into the TDub club. Ownership is membership! So it’s free. A wealth of information on the TW200.
What model wolf man saddlebags?
I wish they would have kept the kick start.
You can add one
nice bike! i'm looking for an older one like this that still has a kicker. i cannot understand why they took it off of an off road bike. yeah, elec start is nice, but a dead battery 20 miles from a charger, and you went from a biker, to a hiker.
U can always man up and push start it
I want to get one too i am a big yamaha fan i ride a FZ 09, 2014. Have nothing but good things to say after 23k miles
Technically your on a piece of agricultural equipment ,but I would love to have one if you ever want to trade for a cruiser let me know
Got me one 2018 I love it!
Awesome !! I love mine so much
I use a pop up mosquito hammock, worth every penny, best sleep camping you'll ever get with none of the bulk.
You might want to adjust your valves. They are ticking too loud.
Nice bike it's practically brand new👱🏍️🏕️👍
Sorry, but I missed the point of the "Wheelie". What does it show me or prove?
AAHKLEE shows that I like to wheelie??
I think it's obligatory to do at least one in every motorbike review.
mca mac thank you!!! Lol
Excellent
what's the top speed please? And how many km/L?
I’m reading it’s about 65 or 110 in k
About 70 mph and 80 mpg.
With air box ,carburetor,and exhaust mods it's easy to get the hp up 10% to almost 18hp. Bwahaha
So you and your buddie got a HIS and HIS Tw200 :)
I wish Yamaha sells this in the Philippines.
These are Yamahas response to the suzuki rv125 -200 vanvan.i had one 3years never let me down, have regretted selling it ever since..
First video of yours I've seen, are you Canadian???
I think a dr200 is a better choice for the price. I can't even wheelie in 2nd on my dr200, do you think I'm running too lean?
Just got one.
I like the weird twirly wheelies
You know what would make the bike really pop? A black seat.
Wish I still had it!!
IF THIS WAS 300 CC AND COULD KEEP UP WITH HIGHWAY SPEED IT WOULD BE BEST BIKE !
EXCEPT FOR THE DRUM BREAK THAT IS WW1 TECHNOLOGY LOL
