Hey Matt just wanted to let you know I just picked up a 2024 and I couldn't be happier. It is perfect for what I will be using it for, riding around the ranch in SE Idaho, forest service and BLM roads. I heard they are great for getting into hard to reach hunting spots as well. I watched a few of your videos and yours were the most useful and very influential in my decision making. Thank you brother! Bill
Hey Bill! Congrats on the new bike! I am stoked that you like it. I have loved having mine. I am really glad the videos helped and that you enjoy them. If there is a video on something you'd like to see with the TW that I haven't already done, let me know and I'll see what I can do! Thanks again and welcome to Tdub Nation!
We were on pre-order for 8 months. Dealer called and said we have a 2023. An older gentleman bought it, he waited forever to get a tdub and he got sick and never even got to ride it and ended up passing away. The dealer bought it back. I was choking back the tears when I signed the paperwork. So I'll leave you guy's with this, It doesn't matter what you ride just get out there and ride. That day you want to stay inside maybe you could have one of your best days just going for that one ride that you procrastinate about. Maybe your last...
I bought mine in 2019.A week later I had a brain stem stroke.Still don’t have my balance back.Bike has 500 miles but still hang on to it thinking I might get to where I might ride again.
2024 Looks good!...I still have my 1988 TW with kick start , they came like that with drum front brake looks like new runs Great. I have been a TW fan Since 1988 !!!! Thanks Matt I am a Big fan of MOB Street 83 ..
Hey Ed! Thanks for watching and for the comment, I appreciate it. I am stoked you still ride your 98' Hopefully it will continue to be great for you! Thanks for being part of the channel as well!
I been riding dirt motorcycles since 1970's. Started off with Minibikes in 1965. Raced Hare Scrambles. Always losing up my Front Brakes to prevent lock up. As using front brake off road can be Hazardous. Rear Drum is fine because less chance to get Damage by Rocks, Roots, Sticks. If Disc Get Damage Can Leave You Stranded, As Rear Wheel Might Not Turn. Downshift, Use Engine For Braking. Godspeed Your Journeys, Mr. T.
Great Retro color scheme. With more components blacked out including exhaust and rims it has a more stealth and scrambler feel to it. I'm all in and looking for one now. Gray man meets Gray bike.... well done!
I don't think Yamaha should change anything about the TW200. I do think Yamaha should make a bigger TW model. Like a 350cc or 400cc model, 6 speed, bigger tank, high output stator, disc brakes front and rear. The current TW should stay. But a bigger brother would be a welcome addition.
I raced a new 2024 TDub 200 on my way to work today on my Vespa. While We were both banging gears, we somehow were still holing up traffic. Brrraaaappppp
Yo Matt! Big fan - you and tdudskid - I’ve had my TW now for 2 years and love it - I like the new color and especially the tank - keep those videos coming and keep riding with that fam!!
The lower the tech, more reliable and easy to fix it's going to be! 196cc is perfect. The XT250 is more road worthy if that is what you like. Hope they don't ever change a thing.
Thanks for keeping us up to date Matt, appreciated. I will be the odd man out - I despise the new color, lol, really, I will call it primer gray, needs paint. I liked my 2017 Blue & White, and the more recent brown/tan - I have a 2023 Black and gray and love it - this 2024, pass, hope it lasts only this year - why not something more adventurous like camo, or a deep green, or a red? To each his won, thanks for the video! Cheers, Ronny
You bet Ronny! Thanks for watching and for the comment. Yeah, this color is probably the most hit or miss for a while now! I don't mind it though.....but there are others who can't stand it and I get it!
@@DakarBlues , Hagon adjustable shock and Springs / Gold Valve Emulators in the forks. Not looking to catch air just keep the tires in contact with the ground.
@@MOBStreet83 , Around here gravel and sand are mostly what I see off road. I don’t play in the mud. When these tires need changing I will probably go with a different tire. 6000 miles on them now so maybe a couple thousand miles left before I will change them.
The color scheme (or lack thereof) isn't the worst by far. The previous year's was my favorite of all time. This to me is just one step down. My second favorite of all time would be the '07 blue/white color scheme. I've owned 2 TW200s in my lifetime. My first was a '95 "fruit loop" color scheme. My second was the '07. Moved up to a XT250 briefly and when Yamaha pulled the WR250 I waited a couple years for it's replacement then got pissed and tainted my loyal blue blood with a CRF300L. Most definitely different going to fuel injected bikes and I hated it at first. It took some time but 1700 miles in and I love the bike now. If things ever go back to non crazy I'll scoop me up a used t dub though. I should always have one in my stable as it is always in my heart.
Turn off the fuel and run it till the carb is dry. I have a 2003 KLR650 I’ve had since new, with 46,000 miles on it, and a pair of 1972 CT90 camping bikes, and never have carb issues using that method. For winter storage, BG44 and Stabil in the tank, run the carbs dry, they fire right up in the Spring! FI is just not great for most home mechanics, due to its added complexity. But, if you don’t work on your own bike, and don’t like the added “hassle” of the tips I mentioned, by all means, go the FI route.
@@bryanbrowning5746 I dont do winter storage, I live in Louisiana extremely hot and humid. Moisture builds up. Not just in the carbs but in the tank too. Ethanol is not going to go away. I used to live in Colorado, we had ethanol issues there too. Not to mention transitions from 6k elevation to up or down 2k feet in 30 minutes.
Living in Utah, I have the cold winters and the hot summers and I live at 6000' elevation and go from 4000 to 9000 regularly. As of yet (knock on wood) I haven't had any carb issues. My Harley has a carb also and I ran from Central Utah, over Nevada then over Yosemite to Monterey and it ran fine as well. Not saying it is the best, but the simplicity of it all and not needing a computer to work on my bike is great. Don't get me wrong, I see the value of EFI, but with the TW200 I don't see it as a necessity.
I think for the next couple of weeks you'll be able to get the 2023, but I don't know that it'll be long before we start seeing this color arrive at dealerships.
@@MOBStreet83mob street i finally got my tw200!!! So excited. Every dealer i went was sold out and said they would get more in couple months but would most likely be the new 2024 color which i did not want. Almost gave up on owning a tw if i could not get black/grey color. Finally found a 2023 in yamaha pasadena! It was their last one! All paper work is done and i go pick it up on tuesday (they are closed sund-mond)
I love it. Can’t wait for dealers to get them. I like that the color scheme gives it a slightly cafe bike kind of vibe. I also love the “Yamaha” on the tank. The “TW “ steathly in the side just below the seat. And it doesn’t say “200” anywhere I see. Which for me is a no brainer. I really don’t care to see 200,300,500,750,1000 or any of that on any bike. I bet people who are self conscious about riding small displacement bikes are also pretty happy that is doesn’t say 200.
Just did my first oil change on my 2023. Glad I got the 23. I put a pipe and filter on mine and with a jet kit and I don’t get any gas mileage now. Gonna do the mixture screw today but I think that makes it richer,which I think it already is.idk
@@MOBStreet83 For sure, delivery is what I meant also. Although I got lucky and found mine at a dealer before demand got crazy, so I'm not sure how bad the normal ordering process is.
@@MOBStreet83 I thought so lol, So your basically just paying for the new paint job, They must be making a killing lol would be nice if they could add a extra gear. So the bike isn't screaming when you are truing to do 60 Mph or 100 km on it. I love my bike and that would be one of the first things I would change. I am not sure if changing sprockets would help the situation much.
@@Shadow-Hawk Changing sprockets easy way to get a little more top speed on the road. Thing is with these small displacement bikes, it will have a noticeable effect on acceleration and climbing power at higher speeds. Maybe when it's time for a new chain and sprocket, try going down 1-2 teeth on the rear and up 1 on the front and see how it does for ya.
I like the new color. Last years color worked for me also. The only thing that I would like to see change is Yamaha making this bike in EFI. It's quite perplexing that Yamaha hasn't done this, especially since the XT250 has had EFI for the past 10 years.
From what I can gather, it is do to the EPA. They would have to do a complete revamp of the bike if they went EFI. Plus, having EFI on my KLX.....I'm not sold on it. I love the simplicity of the carb and being able to do anything the bike needs without a computer like you would need to with efi.
Yes but still no fuel injection Suzuki VanVan 200 does I'm thinking about one or the other I've been riding well I had a 69 z50 Honda but I have 2 125 VanVan both 1973 projects with high ,low range I've riden a tw but I'm leaning towards the Suzuki but I'm not sure any advice would be appreciated!!
The Vanvan was discod here in the states in 2019. No one has them around here and parts are scarce to come by. Out where I am Suzuki doesn't really have any presence so I would take the TW all day long over it. Just my thoughts though.
Hello, if the large luggage rack is installed, can a passenger still ride along properly without getting pain in their thighs over time because they are pressing against the luggage rack?
Yes! My wife and I ride together all the time. It doesn't interfere at all and my wife likes it because it is a sturdy handle to hold onto as well if things get a bit technical.
I am thinking of buying my first Motorcycle. My question is with regards to the TW200 Carburetor versus a Fuel Injected Motorcycle (i.e. KLX230). How reliable is the Carburetor? Is it easy to maintain? My friends tell me I should look at a Fuel Injected Motorcycle. What are your thoughts? To tell you the truth I am leaning toward the TW as my first Motorcycle, mostly because of the looks and I don’t want something so powerful that it would get me in trouble as Newb. Also, there just seems to be a huge following for the Yamaha.
This is what I wish someone told me when I was starting out: Carb is more reliable like a horse is more reliable than a car. Really not a huge deal one way or another. As for TDubs/xt250 : great purpose bikes. I stress purpose. If you're 5'8 150lb and have short legs and love nature and to hike, camp, fish and have friends or actively looking for friends with same interests TW all the way! ...also XT250. BUT if you want to be on the road over 50mph ... disregard all the top speed vids because realistic top sustainable speed of these bikes is low af..like 55? ...if you need to be on the highway for any reason, if you need you haul you gf , if you plan on impressing a potential gf(lol kidding), if you're 6ft, 180lb, if going fast makes you happy ...And I don't mean reckless fast...just regular fast than TW isn't a good pick. As for first bike and not getting into trouble thing I wouldn't worry about it at all. Just don't get a liter bike or a 600 and you'll be fine.
I have both the KLX230S and the TW200. I would take the TW200 all day every day over the KLX230. The carb is easy to use and maintain over efi. The TW200 is hands down more comfortable than the KLX230S for me and my wife. The TW200 can be bump started if the battery dies and I love the fat tires for traction. I'd take the TW200 any day
La yamaha tw 200 2024, tiene un aspecto muy bonito y decente el color raven tipo gris, es un color que me gusta, les agradesco por hacer este canal, porque me gustan las motos de esta característica de doble propósito y todo terreno, con el cual puedo irme al campo a explorar, así como transitar en zonas urbanas
¡Estoy de acuerdo! Estoy bastante contento con el color de la 2024. He llevado mi TW200 a todas partes y es una excelente motocicleta para andar en la calle y fuera de la carretera. Gracias por estar pendiente del comentario, lo agradezco.
Fuel injection and rear disk brakes would be awesone cause a new paint job isn't that appealing. I have a tw200 on order but I'm leaning more now towards a honda crf300l instead. Here in Canada for 300$ more to get FI, 6 speed gearbox and a fuel gauge just are pluses that I can't ignore.
Why fuel injection though? Also, if you are shorter rider, the 34.7" seat height of the crf vs the 31.1" of the TW200 is also something to take into consideration. My KLX has a six speed and in 6th gear I can't gain any speed. My TW200 is faster than the KLX and I can adjust the idle where I can't on the KLX. I think the CRF is better than the KLX in that regard, but I still can't really see why so many folks want fuel injection. I have been riding my TW's for 5 years and haven't had any issues with the carb and I live at 6,000' and run from 4,000 to 10,000 so far without problems.
@@MOBStreet83 I guess it's because of price that I go for twice the power and I'm over 6 feet tall and my wife is 5'3 on her tip toes so that's why I'm looking at the shorter bike. But like I said for 300 more you gain twice the hp and even without FI you still get front and rear disc brakes and inverted front forks. The little TW will go in my stable but there's alot of upgrades that should come stock.
I called a dealer in Olympia Washington for an out the door price and thy said $6650. Isn’t that kind of high? Tax, title, license, freight, assembly. And one other amount I can’t remember what for. Does anyone know if this is way out of line? Please let me know. If it’s not then I will just credit card the total and be done with the deal.
Looks like Yamaha did another "If it ain't broke don't fix it" for yet another year. Personally the new color to me is Eh.Its ok nothing ground breaking, and actually a step back. When will Yamaha come out with a blow your socks off T Dub ? Stay tunned :-)
I like the tank. Don't like the color of the cowling or the decals on the side plastics. Oem tanks are between 5-6 hundred dollars brand new. I think a black cowling would look better and maybe change the decals on the side plastics or don't have decals at all. So you could take an older model and buy a 2024 tank and switch out the plastics and you've got basically the same bike. ✌️
I'll go on the record as not being wild about the new color. I miss that year they did the previous design but in brown/tan instead of gray/black (I have the gray/black, 2021.) As for the specs, hard to keep up with all the changes they made to this sophisticated machine! Jk, if they changed anything I'd probably be furious anyways. Down with ethanol, carb 4 life I say
@@MOBStreet83 I do want to put a bigger tank on my TDUB, I saw a video of a clear gas tank and the guy hooked up LEDs on bottom of it, when turned on at night looked really cool. (Clark Tank)
Yeah, but you are getting what you pay for with the XR from what I have heard. I have been really happy with my TW's and the upkeep on them has been super easy. But, I don't know since I haven't seen the XR in person yet.
Stop sugar coating it. I love your vids and I'm a subscriber. However, the TW200 needs TWO things. A bigger gas tank and fuel injection. Would tubeless tires be nice? Sure, but that's subjective. The bigger gas tank and fuel injection are necessary in the new world.
I am not trying to sugar coat anything......I would take a bigger gas tank, but I am not sold on fuel injection yet. I will take my TW with its carb over my KLX with its fuel injection any day of the week.
@@MOBStreet83100% agree with the carb vs FI. These aren’t real “serious” bikes, they’re made for fun and ease of maintenance IMHO. I think the TW fulfills it’s mission statement quite well the way it is!
Yeah it does. I'd still take the TW over the XR150. The only thing I think that is actually "better" is the price. If I could get my hands on one I would love to do some side by side comparisons with it. But, that is also what is great about it all.....we can all choose what we want and enjoy the ride!
I'm just a fool. Every year I get my hopes up about fuel injection or 250cc engine or bigger tank but all they ever change is the different color. Well, there is always next year.
Honestly why cant they add purple? gray = no way, green= been done, white = are you kidding me? grape or purple would be cool as yellow or orange & colors that we dont see all the time. I looked at the MSRP & some of the prices at deals, WAY to high for what your getting imo. For 2k more you can get 500-700 cc bikes.
Another Yamaha with that gloomy-ass gray... 😑 Was hoping heavily for something a little more eye-catching, but wasn't hoping too hard as this isn't terribly surprising.
@@MOBStreet83 I'm hitting middle age and I guess just pining for the over the top flash of the early/mid 90's. 😁 I'm all about the Yamaha brand, but I feel like the last few years, some executive has been letting his three-year-old kid pick out the color schemes. 🤔 Grays and off-colored tans for the win, apparantly... Thanks again for the vid. Very first time I've gotten eyes-on the 24.
Nothing says "Yamaha aren't changing squat" more than using the same stock photos every year and just photoshopping new color scheme LOL. They are not even spending money on a photographer! :) ... and I'm ok with that!

Bought a new black and red Trailway in '89. Cool little devil. $1690 otd. Haven't changed much, except for the disc brake plus $3k.
That is one of my favorite colorways for the TW! Yeah, just a few minor changes, but basically the same bike.
Great intro video! Thank you!
You bet! Thanks for watching and the comment!
Another great video, Matt! Informative and entertaining. Keep up the fine work. : )
Thanks Robert! I appreciate it!
Very cool- kinda makes me want to to black out the rear plastics on mine
Do it!! See how they turn out and let us know!
The lower the tech, more reliable and easy to fix it's going to be! 196cc is perfect. The XT250 is more road worthy if that is what you like. Hope they don't ever change a thing.

I wish they would make a TW350
That would be a sweet machine!
It looks good but put the 2023 and 2024 side by side to see the difference
I need to get my hands on the 2024.
I chose the Van Van 200 over the TDUB because of the seat and FI. I did upgrade the suspension front and rear.
How? Upside down longer travel,or just respringing revalving ?
Did you swap out the tires? I have the same tires on one of my TW's and I am not the biggest fan of them for off road.

So… for the 2024 TW200 they have released the new and improved 2001 TW200. Lol.
Well, couldn't we really say that for all the TW's since 2001?
Keep the valves in check.
Have been! They're easy to do!
I like the color and “new” look. Just bought a ‘23 in June. Kinda wish id have waited
Well, your color scheme is popular one so you should be able to sell it and get the new color if you want!

Agreed! Like you, liked the blue/white and also liked the earlier all white with blue. Who thought this new color scheme was a hit? Hmmm?
Honestly man, I’m glad they haven’t changed it since 2001. I’m hoping to get one in the next few years, and really want the old school, simple bike.
I'm fine with no changes as well. I think you'll be able to find one still.
I appreciate Yamha's updates to the TW, but for me- no FI is no sale. Ethanol fuels and carbs have given me too many problems.

My only thing is that for the price they ought to include a decent size tank. It surely wouldn't cost a whole lot to give you another gallon of fuel.
Yeah, another gallon would be awesome!
I LOVE THE NEW COLOR
I'm a fan of it too!
I love it! I gotta have one!

Yep, I think so!
Our rear sprocket choices reduce our mileage too
That's a valid truth!
Going strong since 1987….seriously, nice look!!!!
Yep! And hopefully for a lot more years to come.
I love it. Can’t wait for dealers to get them. I like that the color scheme gives it a slightly cafe bike kind of vibe. I also love the “Yamaha” on the tank. The “TW “ steathly in the side just below the seat. And it doesn’t say “200” anywhere I see. Which for me is a no brainer. I really don’t care to see 200,300,500,750,1000 or any of that on any bike. I bet people who are self conscious about riding small displacement bikes are also pretty happy that is doesn’t say 200.
I am never self conscious on the TW200! That bike has a character all it's own. I am a fan of the color as well!
Just did my first oil change on my 2023. Glad I got the 23. I put a pipe and filter on mine and with a jet kit and I don’t get any gas mileage now. Gonna do the mixture screw today but I think that makes it richer,which I think it already is.idk
Let me know how it turns out for you!
I'm digging it. I'm just wondering how hard it will be to order one.
It'll be easy to order one, but get it delivered will be the issue.
@@MOBStreet83 For sure, delivery is what I meant also.
Although I got lucky and found mine at a dealer before demand got crazy, so I'm not sure how bad the normal ordering process is.
Well, I was on the list for the 2023 and I haven't taken it off and still haven't heard anything from them.
So the price of paint must have gone up again, I have a 2015 TW what's the is there any difference between then and now?
Mechanically, your bike and this are the exact same.
@@MOBStreet83 I thought so lol, So your basically just paying for the new paint job,
They must be making a killing lol would be nice if they could add a extra gear. So the bike isn't screaming when
you are truing to do 60 Mph or 100 km on it. I love my bike and that would be one of the first things I would change.
I am not sure if changing sprockets would help the situation much.
@@Shadow-Hawk Changing sprockets easy way to get a little more top speed on the road.
Thing is with these small displacement bikes, it will have a noticeable effect on acceleration and climbing power at higher speeds.
Maybe when it's time for a new chain and sprocket, try going down 1-2 teeth on the rear and up 1 on the front and see how it does for ya.
I like the new color. Last years color worked for me also. The only thing that I would like to see change is Yamaha making this bike in EFI. It's quite perplexing that Yamaha hasn't done this, especially since the XT250 has had EFI for the past 10 years.
From what I can gather, it is do to the EPA. They would have to do a complete revamp of the bike if they went EFI. Plus, having EFI on my KLX.....I'm not sold on it. I love the simplicity of the carb and being able to do anything the bike needs without a computer like you would need to with efi.
Good vid.. When are they finally going to put efi on this bike?
Thanks! I don't think they will without a total revamp of the bike. But, until then I am still having a blast on all three of mine.
Yes but still no fuel injection Suzuki VanVan 200 does I'm thinking about one or the other I've been riding well I had a 69 z50 Honda but I have 2 125 VanVan both 1973 projects with high ,low range I've riden a tw but I'm leaning towards the Suzuki but I'm not sure any advice would be appreciated!!
The Vanvan was discod here in the states in 2019. No one has them around here and parts are scarce to come by. Out where I am Suzuki doesn't really have any presence so I would take the TW all day long over it. Just my thoughts though.
Curse my total lack of time and money. It looks amazing.
I am a fan of this one too!
Hello, if the large luggage rack is installed, can a passenger still ride along properly without getting pain in their thighs over time because they are pressing against the luggage rack?
Yes! My wife and I ride together all the time. It doesn't interfere at all and my wife likes it because it is a sturdy handle to hold onto as well if things get a bit technical.
I like the new color scheme - something a little different though I wish that they offered more than one option. Not everyone likes gray / silver.
I actually like the new color as well. But yeah, a few other color options would be good to have.
Yamaha blue (glossy) might be good.
@@jululugz2893 👍
They should make the BW 200 fat wheel again" only with a YZ 250 motor braaap
I have seen folks install the BW front end on the TW. But, that engine would be gnarly on the TW!
Glad to see they’re keeping the specs the same. Just purchased a 2022 TW and have already put 1100 miles on it since March. It’s an awesome bike
Nice!! Congrats on the bike! I have been a huge fan of mine as well.
Same bike different color. Same as the past 28 years. Some things don't need change.
And that's why we like it! I am digging this new color though.
I am thinking of buying my first Motorcycle. My question is with regards to the TW200 Carburetor versus a Fuel Injected Motorcycle (i.e. KLX230). How reliable is the Carburetor? Is it easy to maintain? My friends tell me I should look at a Fuel Injected Motorcycle. What are your thoughts? To tell you the truth I am leaning toward the TW as my first Motorcycle, mostly because of the looks and I don’t want something so powerful that it would get me in trouble as Newb. Also, there just seems to be a huge following for the Yamaha.
Good question, I'm considering the TW myself and would like to know the answer, too. Carb vs Fuel Injected
This is what I wish someone told me when I was starting out:
Carb is more reliable like a horse is more reliable than a car. Really not a huge deal one way or another.
As for TDubs/xt250 : great purpose bikes. I stress purpose. If you're 5'8 150lb and have short legs and love nature and to hike, camp, fish and have friends or actively looking for friends with same interests TW all the way! ...also XT250.
BUT if you want to be on the road over 50mph ... disregard all the top speed vids because realistic top sustainable speed of these bikes is low af..like 55? ...if you need to be on the highway for any reason, if you need you haul you gf , if you plan on impressing a potential gf(lol kidding), if you're 6ft, 180lb, if going fast makes you happy ...And I don't mean reckless fast...just regular fast than TW isn't a good pick.
As for first bike and not getting into trouble thing I wouldn't worry about it at all. Just don't get a liter bike or a 600 and you'll be fine.
@@Boomer_Dual_Sport thank you, pretty much will be used on forest roads and trails. I think TW will be the ticket.
I have both the KLX230S and the TW200. I would take the TW200 all day every day over the KLX230. The carb is easy to use and maintain over efi. The TW200 is hands down more comfortable than the KLX230S for me and my wife. The TW200 can be bump started if the battery dies and I love the fat tires for traction. I'd take the TW200 any day
@@pacificdragon1 nice! And glad it's a Yamaha. Best motorcycles ever imo
La yamaha tw 200 2024, tiene un aspecto muy bonito y decente el color raven tipo gris, es un color que me gusta, les agradesco por hacer este canal, porque me gustan las motos de esta característica de doble propósito y todo terreno, con el cual puedo irme al campo a explorar, así como transitar en zonas urbanas
¡Estoy de acuerdo! Estoy bastante contento con el color de la 2024. He llevado mi TW200 a todas partes y es una excelente motocicleta para andar en la calle y fuera de la carretera. Gracias por estar pendiente del comentario, lo agradezco.
So what's the maximum rider weight limit ?
397lbs! It can haul quite a bit!
Fuel injection and rear disk brakes would be awesone cause a new paint job isn't that appealing. I have a tw200 on order but I'm leaning more now towards a honda crf300l instead. Here in Canada for 300$ more to get FI, 6 speed gearbox and a fuel gauge just are pluses that I can't ignore.
Why fuel injection though? Also, if you are shorter rider, the 34.7" seat height of the crf vs the 31.1" of the TW200 is also something to take into consideration. My KLX has a six speed and in 6th gear I can't gain any speed. My TW200 is faster than the KLX and I can adjust the idle where I can't on the KLX. I think the CRF is better than the KLX in that regard, but I still can't really see why so many folks want fuel injection. I have been riding my TW's for 5 years and haven't had any issues with the carb and I live at 6,000' and run from 4,000 to 10,000 so far without problems.
@@MOBStreet83 I guess it's because of price that I go for twice the power and I'm over 6 feet tall and my wife is 5'3 on her tip toes so that's why I'm looking at the shorter bike. But like I said for 300 more you gain twice the hp and even without FI you still get front and rear disc brakes and inverted front forks. The little TW will go in my stable but there's alot of upgrades that should come stock.
Gotcha. I understand what you mean.
Great change of color, I’m for it 🙏
I agree, I like it as well!
It’s beautiful!!!!!!
I like it too!
I love my 1995 tw200
Nice! That's one of the most sought after retro colors!
Retro look. Fun bikes.
Yep! They are a blast!
I have a white 2006 Tw which I love so much ..How many miles/km I can make before it dies?..Do they sell new motor for replacement ?
Well, I know my wife's uncle had 100,000+ miles on his. I bet you can buy another engine, I have never checked.
@@MOBStreet83😮 really! I'm good for a while than
@@notexpatjoe Thanks for the feedbacks
Hi! does anybody knows if it will be available in italy? Would it be possible to import from the US?
I don't know for sure? I wish I could answer for you.
I called a dealer in Olympia Washington for an out the door price and thy said $6650. Isn’t that kind of high? Tax, title, license, freight, assembly. And one other amount I can’t remember what for. Does anyone know if this is way out of line? Please let me know. If it’s not then I will just credit card the total and be done with the deal.
I have heard more and I have heard less. So, I don't think it's too far off from others.
Is this thing really an automatic? How does that work with trail riding?
No, it's a manual 5 speed. Always has been.
Anyone know of a kick starter kit,
That’s affordable ?
Thx😊
I haven't found one yet.
@@MOBStreet83
Well, thx for the post 🤙🏻😎
I actually love this color combo, it looks retro cafe daul sport ! I didn't like the cream color of 21
I'm liking it too!
60 mpg but it's full throttle most of the time 😂
Yeah, there are times that mine is too!
I guess I’m glad they changed the color but I really don’t like it for a long time this year myself, it looks like an early 70s design.
Yeah, I can see that!
I prefer the '22 and '23 color.
I like it as well my 2021 is that same color. I'm a fan of this new one though. The 18-20 color scheme is still my favorite though.
Drum brakes are fine.
I haven't had any issues with mine.
I reach 100 miles with 2019 (162,5 km) before I need to switch on RES.
Nice!! are you running stock gearing?
@@MOBStreet83 Yep full stock, even the tires.
Looks like Yamaha did another "If it ain't broke don't fix it" for yet another year. Personally the new color to me is Eh.Its ok nothing ground breaking, and actually a step back. When will Yamaha come out with a blow your socks off T Dub ? Stay tunned :-)
😂 We'll just have to keep waiting to see! I agree with others though, don't change it....maybe just add a bigger brother model to the mix.
@@MOBStreet83 Ok, I'll build it for them. 250 powerplant, Fuel injection, exhaust, rear disc, led lights, skid plate, pegs, bars, racks, 241 front, who's in ? 😊
So, no changes other than the color scheme? Wake me up for fuel injection and rear disk, not until.
Nope only the color......you might be sleepin' for quite a while Rip Van Winkle 😴
What's old is new and what's new is old LOL. :)
Yep! 😂
I like the tank. Don't like the color of the cowling or the decals on the side plastics. Oem tanks are between 5-6 hundred dollars brand new. I think a black cowling would look better and maybe change the decals on the side plastics or don't have decals at all. So you could take an older model and buy a 2024 tank and switch out the plastics and you've got basically the same bike. ✌️
Yeah, or get the older bike and add the side panels, front and rear fender and have an all black TW! So many options!
I am wait for mine2024 dealer said novembre l am eager to
Gotcha. My father in law waited for six months for his.
Yes I like the new colors. But until they do something about that anemic engine it's a no from me,
It might be anemic, but it is rock solid and reliable.
I'll go on the record as not being wild about the new color. I miss that year they did the previous design but in brown/tan instead of gray/black (I have the gray/black, 2021.)
As for the specs, hard to keep up with all the changes they made to this sophisticated machine! Jk, if they changed anything I'd probably be furious anyways. Down with ethanol, carb 4 life I say
My favorite color was the black and tan for sure! The Tdub is just keepin' it simple. The way we like it.
👍
Yep!
Yeah I agree with several others about the color, I don't care for it at all, easy to paint over it Iguess.
That works! Simplicity!
@@MOBStreet83 I do want to put a bigger tank on my TDUB, I saw a video of a clear gas tank and the guy hooked up LEDs on bottom of it, when turned on at night looked really cool. (Clark Tank)

Bike serms to be too expensive for what youre getting. The Honda Xr150L is under 3k.
Yeah, but you are getting what you pay for with the XR from what I have heard. I have been really happy with my TW's and the upkeep on them has been super easy. But, I don't know since I haven't seen the XR in person yet.
So, a new color. Alert the media.
wow
Yep! That's all that I believe will ever really change on the TW. Until they decide to do a full revamp of the bike.
Stop sugar coating it. I love your vids and I'm a subscriber. However, the TW200 needs TWO things. A bigger gas tank and fuel injection. Would tubeless tires be nice? Sure, but that's subjective. The bigger gas tank and fuel injection are necessary in the new world.
I am not trying to sugar coat anything......I would take a bigger gas tank, but I am not sold on fuel injection yet. I will take my TW with its carb over my KLX with its fuel injection any day of the week.
@@MOBStreet83100% agree with the carb vs FI. These aren’t real “serious” bikes, they’re made for fun and ease of maintenance IMHO. I think the TW fulfills it’s mission statement quite well the way it is!
Doesn't stack up to well against the Honda XR150 at all. Can't believe I just said that, but there it is.
Yeah it does. I'd still take the TW over the XR150. The only thing I think that is actually "better" is the price. If I could get my hands on one I would love to do some side by side comparisons with it. But, that is also what is great about it all.....we can all choose what we want and enjoy the ride!
I'm just a fool. Every year I get my hopes up about fuel injection or 250cc engine or bigger tank but all they ever change is the different color. Well, there is always next year.
Nah, I wouldn't say fool I would say hopeful. I hope they keep the TW, but adding a big brother 350 or 400 to the TW lineup would be awesome.
🤟🖤🤟
Thanks Atilla!
2024???? so its a 1987 still? oh boy! new colors!
Actually, it's more like a 2001 with new colors and some cosmetic changes since then.
Honestly why cant they add purple? gray = no way, green= been done, white = are you kidding me? grape or purple would be cool as yellow or orange & colors that we dont see all the time. I looked at the MSRP & some of the prices at deals, WAY to high for what your getting imo. For 2k more you can get 500-700 cc bikes.
Yeah, I can see what you mean.
New color scheme sucks. Trying to mimic the retro look of the Honda Monkey 😆 🤣
Or they are throwing it back to their late 90's style
Another Yamaha with that gloomy-ass gray... 😑 Was hoping heavily for something a little more eye-catching, but wasn't hoping too hard as this isn't terribly surprising.
Yeah, not a whole lot of innovation. But, I don't mind this color. But, I am fan of the simple
@@MOBStreet83 I'm hitting middle age and I guess just pining for the over the top flash of the early/mid 90's. 😁 I'm all about the Yamaha brand, but I feel like the last few years, some executive has been letting his three-year-old kid pick out the color schemes. 🤔 Grays and off-colored tans for the win, apparantly... Thanks again for the vid. Very first time I've gotten eyes-on the 24.
196cc for $5,000.00? Hell no.
It'll last you forever though. I haven't regretted buying either of mine.
Carburetor? No thanks.
Really? Why not? I haven't had any issues with mine.
Nothing says "Yamaha aren't changing squat" more than using the same stock photos every year and just photoshopping new color scheme LOL. They are not even spending money on a photographer! :) ... and I'm ok with that!
You saw that too huh! I had to look a couple of times just to make sure it wasn't the same color! 😂😂
I don’t like the color at all for TW200 2024 !
No colors! Is the same you watch a black/white Tv !
Well, then this is the "white" since the last three years were "black"! Sorry, I couldn't help it.
The color is awful.. So disappointed 🤮
Definitely not a very creative one.
