Yamaha has not changed anything in this model of bike since it was introduced in the 80's. So any replacement parts and upgrades that can be bought for a 2024 TW200 will fit right on to a 1986 TW200. The only thing they do with each model year is change the tank color, graphic design and fender plastics for a different color scheme. My friend still wants to get one of these even though he has a much more powerful motorcycle. They're fun trail bikes. :)
70mph?...lol down hill in a hurricane maybe. other then that 55 tops. . If you want to go off road very far replace the tin can skid plate with a real one. Also replace the child size toot pegs. This bike has a serious following and a great community of riders. Plenty of mods and aftermarket parts available. Great little bikes.
These bikes are next to impossible to find new, they come into dealer , don't last but couple days, folks love these for camp bikes and commuting bikes, I honestly might get one down the line after I aquire scooters for the family.but top speed is between 65 mph and maybe 70mph in ideal circumstances, Yamaha makes a similar xt250 might be little better for highway, but tdubs got cult like following rival the ruckus!
I watched someone fit an aggressive atv tire on the back wheel of one of these a few years ago because the tire choices are very limited. Since it's only a 12" rim there's many choices of atv tires that'll fit. :)
Thanks great video, looking to get one pretty soon.
I am excited 😅
Duel sport, as in battle bike? Sounds like a challenge.
still salty i didnt get to ride this at this msf :/ looks like a optimal like bike for trails and exploring

They definitely seem like fun off road bikes
Womder how that would do on a cannonball? Seat doesnt look comfortable
I don’t think it would be comfortable for a long trip at all.

Yes 1 problem with tw is lack of rear wheel option, but the market is slowly bringing more option for it
