On paper, the Yamaha TW200
On paper, the Yamaha TW200 doesn't really make sense. It's an outdated, decades-old design, it's underpowered, and it lacks pretty much anything even resembling a modern motorcycle feature like ABS, traction control, or even a digital display.
And yet...there's a reason this modern classic dual sport motorcycle keeps hanging on. I had a blast test riding the Yamaha TW200 off road and on the pavement and I came away with the hugest smile on my face. This bike is uniquely charming and one that I'd absolutely like to own. That is...if I could find a reason I needed one.
Big thanks to Power Motorsports in Sublimity, Oregon for the opportunity to do this extended TW200 test ride. Check out their website at http://www.powermotorsports.com
It was great to be able to ride the Yamaha TW 200 both on the pavement at highway speeds (it can do 60 but that's about it) as well as off the pavement on some local loose gravel roads. My initial Yamaha TW200 review is overwhelmingly positive. This is a very stable, planted feeling bike on the gravel and it's a great choice for putting around town, running errands, and the like. If that's what you're after, then the TW200 is a great choice.
Still, it's lacking in a ton of areas: not great on the highway, finicky carburetor, cramped design, and a dearth of modern features.
To me, though, this is one of the most charming and unique dual sport motorcycles ever created, and I'm absolutely in love with it.
