i have a few bikes and enjoy riding my 2015 xt250

The XT, being fuel injected, if it failed, you could not fix it on the trail. The fuel pump costs over 400.00. I have not herd of any problems with the pump, but it could happen. Also I don't know of any large fuel tanks offered like on the CRF 300. The TW has a carb, so no worry about a fuel pump or injector problem, and you can get a larger fuel tank for the TW. The TW has very good aftermarket support like Pro-Cycle. Nothing against the XT, but I would take the TW hands down. I would buy a CRF 300 LS over the XT. More power, better aftermarket, and low seat height with the LS model.

❤❤❤ still a great workhorse

Take a TW200, pull motor, cut and section frame for a Tenere 700 motor.....

I have the XT225, similar enough to the 250 abet 6spd..and find it very versatile, I have larger bikes but the little guy fills a need..If i lived in a wetter or sandier/muddier place, the TW may do better..but I like the 21/18" wheel setup on the XT..

A very fun place to be & ride KÖOL 👍😊

Where is this?

TW . I’m a Simple Man 👍🏻

I feel like they would sell more TW's if they went back to 80's 90's colors.

I get around 120 on a tank on Mine

I like the vice grip garage apparel.

That cliff sir, were invested with lots tonnes of gold.i can tell by the vegetation that grows around

Isn’t nature just the neatest!

Who rode the farthest?

The TW is SLOW AF. Bad suspension, weird handling, HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY. It is an old dude RV bike.

Nice video! Didn't know the xt is fuel injected. Also There's a guy that does good xt content his channel is- square helmet takes it in some nasty terrain check him out

Thanks Matt. A couple years ago I narrowed my decision down to these 2 bikes and chose the XT250. For me I think it was a good decision. I like the better top speed and the bigger gas tank for when I go on a long, remote ride where there are no gas stations. I love the XT for my style of riding, but my main complaint is something you noticed - the seat isn't comfortable. I find myself standing on the pegs a lot, which is probably the better technique on the rough jeep trails in any case.

Matt you about to hit 10K my friend!

Good grief! Does Yamaha not have anything but gray paint?!! How bout a blue one or yellow and black?!!!

Way overpriced for what it is.

Both are fantastic bikes with different purposes and I would love to have one of each. The ground clearance and turning radius on the XT is very impressive.for that type of bike. I have a WR250R, so I can't justify purchasing an XT, but I would buy one in a heartbeat. As for the TW, my girlfriend has one, so I can go out and have fun on that when she's at work.

Two great bikes ! Both were in scope in my search when I was looking for a good dual sport. I found a great deal on a XT250 first ... so it's in my carport now. It's a great bike ... but so is the TW. The TW seems to hold it's value better ... much more of a cult following ! (Good if you're selling ... not as good if you're buying). Good content buddy -- keep up the good work 👍👍

🤟🖤🤟

Good comparison, Matt. I’ve had both bikes. I really liked them both, but I sold the XT and kept the TW. The TW is unique and no other bike feels like it.

Nice gun mount lil

Had a 2018 TW . Loved it. The only reason I traded it is because my right knee is ,bad, can't bend it.

I love the TW!!! What I love is the slower speed torque on trails. As much as I love the fat rear tire, the traction sucks IMHO I'd rather have something that got more bite. I also wish the TW had fuel injection instead of carb for easier maintenance. Oh, and I prefer the digital screen on the xt . I have both, I go to the TW 9x out of 10 for off-road.

Hi Matt. I tried for years to get a TW200 and finally had to settle as I found a low mileage excellent condition XT250. As fate would have it, my neighbour asked me to ride his new to him TW200 to his home. The bike showed up at the local Yamaha dealer 2 weeks later😩! Happy for him as he got a hell of a deal on it. Anyway I can easily reach the ground on both of them with my 30 inch inseam. I did change my front sprocket up one tooth to 16. Great on the highway at 65 mph plus speedo is much more accurate. The XT being a larger motor does have noticeably more power. It rides nicer due to the extra suspension and lower unsprung weight because of the much lighter tires. As far as being more sophisticated, only compared to the T-Dub😂. It’s a really basic air cooled motorcycle. Do I prefer it over the T-Dub? On pavement for sure if the speed limit is over 50 mph. If I didn’t already own 5 Yamahas and a Road King I’d still be looking for a T-Dub. Love your channel Matt. Also one of your local dealers should loan you a XT for the exposure. Win win. Thanks for your time Matt. Appreciated. If I didn’t live thousands of miles away I would lend you mine just to see the reviews.

I had a xt 250 and it was a great bike but i wouldn't get a tw 200

I have a TW. The XT has always been tempting. I wish it was lighter.

XT250 is an amazing bike, I wonder if the DRZ650 is going fuel injected this year which is really the only competition the XT250 has for its bike design Also XT250 is not designed for road, its like the TW200 where it can be on the road by function, not design. It's also a backwoods beater.

Good stuff Matt, love the TW but have always had a thing for the XT as well, both great bikes! And here comes 10K subs!!!

I've taken mine on so many sweet adventures

My wife and I just bought a pair of 25 TW200s from Cheyenne Motorsports in Cheyenne Wyoming. They have no dealer fees you pay MSRP and freight plus taxes out the door. There are even sequential serial numbers.

Need some Georgia Boot Romioes (keep dem toes dry)😊

my charming little putt-putt can do great and mighty things... but riding it from honolulu to moab is just a bit outside its capabilities. and if it could it would certainly be outside of mine.

mine seems happiest cruising at about 35. i know i am... i even went up a few teeth on the back. it will do 55 on the freeway with my 255 pounds on it though, but its not fun.

Will there ever be a TW200 3 Wheeler?🤔

Enjoy Utah. In Switzerland you can't ride your motorcycle off road. It's either private or non motorized.

This looks like a lot of fun! I like the video format too.

If I get a T dub by next year, I’ll join you

Matt, thank you and your family so much for sponsoring T-Dub Fest 2024! Everybody had a great time!!

I live in utah and the mountains are awesome

Man i just dont see the fuel injection as an upgrade. To me its a down grade. Parts are way more expensive and more complicated. Carbs are super simple and very easy and cheap to work on. If your battery takes a poo on a long adventure ride you can just push start the tw and continue to ride. Fuel injected bikes are sone if your battery dies.. i will take simplicity, easy to work on and 10k plus mile tires anyday of the week

Cool

Amen brother 🙏

Maybe a Spring T-Dub fest in Flagstaff area. So guys from south east wouldn’t have to drive so far.

The crap music ruined this video.
