5 Things to Consider Before Buying a Yamaha TW200

After riding a Yamaha TW200 over 10,000 miles. I can safely say that it's the near perfect motorcycle for me and my type of riding. I find it fun to ride and super reliable, but it's definitely not going to be a good bike for everyone. Here are 5 things to consider before buying a Yamaha TW200.
Thanks For watching!

[@devonwharton9244]

​@TDubsKid I haven't read through the comments yet but wanted to mention that the helmet lock latch is meant to go through the D rings of the helmet straps. Securing your helmet as you did in the video means all you have to do is unstrap the helmet and it's stolen, defeating to whole purpose of the lock. In all other respects, your video was absolute gold sir!

[@davidswearingen432]

I'm 64 years old with worn out knees and also 6ft tall and 260 lb. so the lower seat height was a great selling point for me. It reminds me of the 1970's trail bikes I loved as a kid. Mine is a 2018 and I love it. TDubs you the man love your videos informative and entertaining.

[@mikeperry4918]

What's up tdubskid. I would like to take a moment to say thank you. Your content has inspired me to purchase a tdub about a year ago. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a new one but I found a nice used '13 a couple states over and got it. I've put about 5k miles on it and regularly use your videos to help me maintain it. I've got a 50 mile commute to get to the Base I work at, so the miles add up pretty quickly. I put a 45 tooth sprocket on the back and just roll along a 55mph. You've also inspired me to go motocamping and I've thoroughly myself. Thank you, again for your content and inspiration! Mike

[@TDubsKid]

Hey there, no problem, glad I could inspire you. congrats, no worries you probably saved a bit with buying used and 13 isn't too old. glad the videos have been helpful. very nice, you actually get to ride it a lot, that's rad. glad your enjoying it. no problem, ride on!

[@openscholar9908]

Just got my 2015 tw with only 100 miles on it. I think it's a perfect bike for small towns and farms as well as the woods so it fits me just fine. Rode it in pouring rain, mud, street, gravel, no problem. A great all a round bike. Even hauled a few groceries.

1986 for Christmas I got a TW200 when I was 15. Upgrade from my old 1979 XR 75 I had since I was 11. It IS without a doubt the tank of bikes. It's tough as hell. And while it wasn't the best bike to do jumps with it more than made up for that in the mud or trekking through unexplored terrain like thick woods, rocks and thick sand that leave other bikes stranded. My friends at the time rode an XT 200 Yamaha, DR 200 Susuki a CR 125 Honda and an XL 100 Honda. The only bike mine would beat in a drag race was the XL 100, but top speed was pretty close to the same topping out at about 70 MPH. The other bikes topped out around 85 to 95, but 99% of our riding was on dirt sandy roads, fields, mud and beaches along the Choptank river so I'd guess our average speed was maybe 45 MPH at most so the TW never really had a problem keeping up. In the thick sand rock climbing and mud the other bikes had no chance of keeping up with the TW. It's a really fun bike with more pro's than con's. Easy to work on, pretty much bullet proof engine and it takes a beating most bikes can't handle. I'd recommend the TW200 to anyone from beginner to expert rider, it offers a lot of fun no matter your riding skill.

[@TDubsKid]

+preston121068 that’s awesome! I would have loved one at 15 years old haha yeah not great for jumps especially bad at landing them. Yeah such a great bike just to explore all types of terrain. Makes sense it is a pretty heavy bike and the big tires add more rolling resistance. Haha that’s rad just depends on where your riding. True that such a good dependable bike that will take you anywhere

[@davec.3198]

These little bikes are a blast. They would be my go-to if I had a camper and needed a bike to just get around on and do some light trail riding. Super comfy off roading with as well.

I agree, I like to be forced to take the back roads too and that's what inspired me to get the new bike I did.. I finally got one! For the last year I've saved and planned to get the Yamaha 660 tenere but yesterday that all changed. I went to a vintage bike show and test rode and bought a ... Drum roll! .. Royal Enfield classic 500 in army green, I got a great deal on last year's showroom model for $3000 ..2 grand off a brand new bike! so I couldn't say no. So with the money I saved I've ordered the metal panniers and crash bars and upgrade all the lights and put a big windshield on it for touring.. it's gonna looks sick ! Like a world war 2 despatch bike , they are slow as hell and vibrate like fuck but so fun to ride , top out at 60mph so all back roads for me from now on and our back roads are different from yours.. I think y'all call'em single tracks ? haha so yes I've got some adventures ahead for me fishing and camping on this little beauty . Gets delivered Wednesday and I can't wait!

[@TDubsKid]

for sure, back roads are the bomb! oh wow that's a neat bike, not bad getting 2k off as well. should be an interesting to go on some adventures with it. you will have to show us in a video once you get it. ride safe my friend

[@MagicRoosterBluesBand]

Got a Suzuki VanVan 200 because of the fuel injection and a big bitch seat (for commuting mostly). But the TW200 looks a lot more capable off-road. They both use the same size tires. Did some off-roading with the VanVan, and you're right, that front tire is a bit slippery but did the job. Great video!

RIDE ON, safe-er-ly !!

[@TDubsKid]

thank you! I have had some pretty bad injuries in the past already, most were not from riding though but skateboarding. but yeah best to take it easy especially when i'm riding alone. thanks again :)

A good review of the bike. For now , I have a Chinese knock off, but can still use alot of info from your videos. When I can, the TW200 looksa like it would be just what I'm looking for.

[@TDubsKid]

hey thanks! at least it's better having any bike than no bike. the tw200 is super fun and reliable

[@drmachinewerke1]

@Midnite Rider What is the knock off. Where did you get it.

[@starman2671]

I remember seeing this bike every day when I walked home from school! Some guy in an apartment building owned it back in the 90's.I remember thinking that the rear tire size would be great for doing wheelies! Always wanted to ride one!!

[@TDubsKid]

haha that's awesome, I remember seeing one in a Yamaha brochure back when I was around 12. they are super fun to ride!

[@aizunokami5639]

I like your videos...Your maintenance videos are very informative and your roadtrips give me a good feeling. I,m riding a TW 125 , not as powerful as your TW 200, but with the same amount of fun. Keep up the good work. Greetings from the Netherlands

[@TDubsKid]

hey glad to hear you enjoy them! nice, it's a great bike! 😃👍

[@pkbaker100]

Yamaha needs to pay you for this review man. Great job, I just bought a new crf250rally but you almost sold me on one of these as well!!

[@TDubsKid]

haha I appreciate that! haha thats a cool bike too though

[@steph4287]

I think you've convinced me I need one, haha

[@TDubsKid]

haha nice. they are great to explore the outdoors with

[@bladeuser101]

an excellent little bike. mine is a 96 model and done 30,000 km a very reliable bike just starts first time every time, the only thing i can pick on is i wish it had another 50 cc

[@TDubsKid]

for sure, nice! that's good to hear it's still running good, i'm almost halfway to 30k. haha

[@earlthisguy652]

More wipe out comps ! That was hilarious ! Liked and subscribed just because of that !!! Bonus is you put out great content

[@TDubsKid]

haha I really need to save that all in one spot so I can always go back to it. much appreciated! 😀

[@kgilliagorilla2761]

Great review. My first motorcycle was a 125 Yamaha Enduro (1972) I saw one of these on Craigslist and sparked my interest. Your review was totally in-depth and unbiased. Looks like your having a blast. Thanks from Chicago.

[@TDubsKid]

hey thanks. that's a neat bike. oh cool, no problem. it is a very fun bike. thanks for watching

[@JaromirMartinek]

Hi I like your videos about TW200. I have noticed in one of video that you have problem with uneven wearing of front tire. I do have same problem with my 200cc motorcycle. Every second tread on this tire is worn out. what can cause this problem? I do assume that front telescopic shock are the problem. Low oil? No oil? Thank you

[@TDubsKid]

hey thanks! and honestly pretty much all knobbie front tires will wear uneven if you do pavement riding especially if the air pressure is lower

[@DRZADV]

HAHAHHA I'm Ben from Quebec Canada, I did end up buying the TW200 and do not regret as it was an amazing first bike, next summer however I am getting a Dr650 as 200cc is not enough for me since I need to commute highway speeds to get to trails.. I don't do any narly offroad stuff mostly fire roads and the occasional single track. I am 6'2 and having ridden my friends dr650 I can totally handle it. Thanks Tdubskid!!!

[@TDubsKid]

Hi Ben! glad your enjoying your TW200. such a great bike to learn on. makes sense if you need to ride a long ways to the trails. seems like the Dr650 will be great for you :)

[@DRZADV]

@@TDubsKid I'm definitely gonna miss the Tdubs but I can't afford 2 bikes

[@jimjr4432]

I believe this is the second time I have watch you video. Loved the first time and I thinking the 2nd is more fun. Great videography for sure! Love the drone and remote shots, plus all the views that take some real effort. Blessings.

[@TDubsKid]

Glad you enjoyed it! thanks

[@decapolis01]

Great video. My first bike was a TW200 and I still miss it. I blew it up going down the interstate one day. I have a 1900cc yamaha raider now but I still think that ole tw200 was the most fun I have had out of all the bikes I have owned. One thing I would like to add, it can hold a ton of weight. If you can pile or strap it on the tw200 can carry it and with its low gears can climb hills with it too. Makes it great for camping.

[@TDubsKid]

thanks! and nice it's such a great first bike, it was my first street legal bike. dang that sucks, I have heard of someone doing something similar, keeping the throttle pinned at 75 and stock gearing 🔥💥💥 tha'ts for sure, I don't feel much of a difference when i'm hauling a bunch of camping gear haha
