I love my TW. It is a bike I don’t think I’d ever sell.
Luckily tjey mever changed it so even if you did you could buy the exact same one brand new and you cant do that with a 99 honda civic still. They dont make them anymore. The civic has changed over all those years and this bike has not. So you could buy a 2005 model and if anything breaks you can sourse parts from before or after 2005 up until today and likely beyond. Harley has changed motors several times sijce the tw came out
The TW is not a dirt bike. Never was. It is a trail bike. It will go places a dirt bike will not. At the same time it will never keep up with a dirt bake as far as aggressive riding / speed. I love my TW but I know what it is and what to expect from it. It will go absolutely anywhere but you're not going to get there fast.
Truth, I would know as well ha ha
Exactly. I like my TW for exploring hiking and just putting around. I wear a helmet and hiking boots and can go check out a mine or take a dip in a river whenever I want. On my more serious bikes I dress in a lot more gear (and it gets hot). The TW has its place.
Do you really need to tho. I enjoy cruising around and watching the environment. I’m not a speed demon I don’t l be in a rush in traffic I’m playing music and chilling
@@ThatsBroFromChicago As long as you stay off 55mph plus roads it is not a problem.
I have a 2012 z1000 and a 19 kx100 for serious trail riding..but I'm going to get a tw200 for a public hunting land rig to go down some trails that cars or even side by sides have trouble going down due to all the brush overhang..already found the perfect offroad tow trailer I want haul with it..I'm sure the tw will serve all the purposes I am going to use it for and it has a low seat height I can teach my wife to ride
This bike is also great if you ride alone, it will keep you out of serious trouble cause you'll know the limits pretty quickly. Just don't go down hills you don't know you can't get back up lol... It can do single track, its happiest on two track and does back highways pretty good. If you ride to just get around the mountains and not necessarily going balls to the wall , its perfect. BTW ALWAYS carry a garbage bag. If nothing else if you find yourself on private property you can least say hey I picked up garbage at least lol.
Even though it's definitely not a high performance bike I still ride it hard out on the trails and have lots of fun. I've upgraded the suspension front and rear, changed the front tire to a shinko 241, and went up two teeth on the rear sprocket and now the bike is just a beast when it comes to climbing through the worst terrain. It definitely doesn't have great handling compared to my yz but I can put a beginner rider on it and they'll be able to tackle intermediate trails like nothing.
Because of the tires this bike is good for many many areas where i live that are fun. I live in the desert and there is sandy washes and you need a big ballon tire it makes a world of difference. But sadly that also makes it sorta like a more offroad specific dual sport. But luckily where i live thats actually useful because about 80% of all the land around me is public land so i can actually use a lot of shortcuts by using a bike like this. With tbis bime i could chop my commute to the nearest sonic in half
I don't see myself ever selling my '18. Simple, fun, and easy. It's the ultimate don't-take-yourself-too-seriously bike.
exactly thats why I got it. It's like a tortoise and the hare situation haha. TW is the tortoise for sure.
@@collinmc90more like a mule while dirtbike are more like horses ahah
I bought one to ride 2up with my wife (dirt roads, state park access roads) , and it fits in my full size van.
Just took part in a AMA dual sport and adventure ride this past weekend. Did 170 miles on the adventure route with my 2014 TW and there were several TWs on the dual sport route. The fact it is so short makes it way more confidence inspiring. I'd take it over my DR650 for gnarly stuff knowing I can easily dab a foot or pick it up if it drops.
Oh yeah for really slow and tight trail sections where balance is sketchy the tdub is unmatched
The TW200 has a significant history and track record. I hope Yamaha can get some in dealerships this year. I haven't seen any for a while.
they are selling like crazy out here. I've never seen one make it to the floor in the last couple years. All on order its amazing.
@@collinmc90 YES. A dealer told me that Yamaha Corp. was shut down for a couple years during Covid and is trying to catch up on production.
That are still so popular in my area you have to order them a year in advance
@@seamusderby169 thats crazy, i have 2 dealers near me that have a few tw's each and they are just sitting there unsold since i saw them like 2 or 3 months ago.
Looks like a cool, scenic trail . I am from East coast , might have to hit that trail when I pick up my daughter from college ( Denver University) . Good video, thanks guys !
Thats a long drive to pick someone up, denver does have an airport 😉
@@BullittKid08 Not everyone likes to fly. It is more scenic to drive. And most of all, with the # of flights being cancelled w/out warning, I'd say Pete has the right idea. 😉
The T dub is the Suzuki Samurai of motorcycles.
Best trail bike. No problem in ruts, mud, rocks, sand, sticks and pretty much anything. I have three bikes and take this one first choice whenever I am in the woods. Good torque for the hills also. A keeper!
That is a stunning area to ride in. It is breathtakingly awesome. Thanks for sharing.
That trail is great for winter driving for deep snow.
Man I've been thinking about buying one of those for the last five or six years.
Not all of us want to wrestle bears and blaze trails through the wilderness. Logging roads and established paths are just as exhilarating,. Being outside with numb wrists and a sore keester is reward enough. The woods smell mighty fine in slow motion.
I took mine up Pennsylvania Gulch, off the Switzerland Trail near Sunset. That was hard. 🙂
You guys should collaborate with TDubsKid. He's a avid TW 200 rider who does moto volgs in the front range Colorado area.
I upgraded the fork springs on my tw200 and it was soo much better especially under hard braking and small jumps
That bike was made for those. Looking forward to the KLR TW comparison
I work at the Boulderado. That would be the perfect road to take my 9yo camping
I will be looking for that KLR650 video, but if you could get your hands on a KLR250 or even the new(er)KLX300 that replaced the KLR250 for a comparison to the TW200, that would be extra interesting. Albeit, the TW200 tires decimate the others with the stability on such terrain as this, the others have some excellent ride qualities one could appreciate. 🙂
I'm in Colorado Springs and just got a tw200
I'm not experienced enough to know if they are right or wrong but if you ask old school dirtbike people, they will say 1990s dirtbikes where as good as dirtbikes where ever going to be and improvements have been marginal ever since.
I’d tend to disagree. Suspension has come a ways, EFI “invented” and sorted out, electric start common, more useable power than you can imagine. And all this accomplished at pretty minimal weight cost. Having said that, can you do everything on a 90s bike that you can do on today’s bikes? Absolutely. But it’s a lot more comfortable and reliable now.
Yamaha has the right idea for non competitive off roading with this bike. Maximum easy off roading on two wheels, that's the tw200
That blue shirt boy riding on the bike is so beautiful.. i love him..❤❤
Have a Tenere that does a lot of that, but I'm thinking to get one to puddle around (maybe a big camping trip just for the fun of it). Even if you're experienced, it's nice to relax and it carries more stuff than a dirtbike
I'm in the same boat with my T7. I've got to have help picking it up half the time. Thinking seriously of adding one of these to the garage for some solo exploring
I want one soooo bad I have always liked this bike but now that speed is no longer my crave and exploration is I want this bike more than any bike I’ve ever wanted. Well other then a Harley 😉
why did you choose to attach the action camera on chin guard instead of top? to get front end of bike in frame?
Hey guys did you have to jet that thing at your altitude?
I've always wanted one!
Love your gloves!
Great bike 2 ride in south America
I’ve always like the TW in theory but I’m 6’2” and 220lbs and always worried it just would be enough bike for me. If it can’t get me up to road speeds there isn’t much point in a dual sport or at least in making it road legal.
They're rated for 395 pounds of load. You may benefit from handle bar risers tho.
368 lb of muscle and the tw200 delivers. Major League torque out the ass
Any chance you guys could compare the tw to the xt250? I've narrowed my choice to these bikes but have yet to decide.
The XT is a little better on the road (cruising at 65) but not quite as forgiving on the trail (still very good though). Honestly whichever one you can find would be fine and if you have a choice just go with the better deal. You won't be disappointed unless you expected highway speeds. Neither do that well but as I said if you are going to do lots of four lane I would choose the XT.
Hey dude I just moved to boulder if you ever want to do a video on my Aprilla RS660. Been wanting to pick one these up or a XT since I moved here
Dumb question: in mixed highway, city offroading, what kind of MPG does that get?
Mines gets about 60 - 70 depending on how hard I'm in the throttle.
I love my tw
If you wanna ride almost anywhere like terrible rough roads and trails especially tight technical trails in comfort and carry stuff for the day or overnight ride the TW. If you wanna haul butt in more open areas take the KTM.
I can't find one to buy. I wouldn't mind it if they made a 300 version. Not that that it matters if I can't buy one though
Excuse me but the DR-650 is a DUAL SPORT..
A fun ride more or less. Brutal heavy also.
I have more than 40K odometer miles on it.
What trail is that? Y’all never said.
Drag race your GROM please. I rode them back to back and somehow the GROM seemed faster? with half the horsepower.
gearing.....grom is geared for high end speed, tw is geared for low end.
When do we get to see Kase on a 3-wheeler? :)
What tail rack you have?
Hello! How tall are you?
I love the TW. It’s 10/10 for looks and reliability for me, and has all the performance I would ask for from a bike with on/off road capability.
Also, stop littering. What’s wrong with these people? 😡
What is your height brother ?
Do a Sur Ron for your next bike.
they review motorcycles not bikes.
I'm considering buying a TW200 but I've heard about and seen videos and pictures of broken frames. The frame even looks thin and weak. I need a bike that is strong like a Rokon but street legal for state forest roads.
its my first bike and will probably be my last. if you want to know what its all about just go watch people driving one... theyre usually laughing but always smiling... even through beards and tattoos if necessary. cant say that about any other bike.
Since you're so close check out the trails by silverton & telluride
He was wearing a pinky ring
It's Colorado bro. Filled with cupcakes just like Cali.
@@redraiderrider3289 lol I live in Colorado not from here though. That being said the cupcakes are in the city most of the people out here in the country are quite rustic. Lots of ranchers and homesteaders where I live.
The TW is from a different era why go fast when you can go anywhere reliably.
Great bike and yes.... please take your trash with you!!
I hate litterbugs!
It never has performed like a dirt bike
This bike is to ride on sand and loose gravel, not so much on rocks and definitely not on mud.
The good ole Turd Wheeler 200
🤣🤣never has performed like a dirt bike
That's what I like. Flat footing every bike. I have chicken legs so it's hard for me. Go ahead laugh it up. My buddies do or did. They r almost all dead now. Rip
Give me a 300 or 400 version with EFI & a larger fuel tank and I will buy one.
