The Yamaha TW200 is a 196 cc single cylinder dual-sport motorcycle manufactured and marketed by Yamaha since 1987. TW is short for Trail Way. In 2001 an update was made that removed the kick start and replaced the front drum brake with a disc brake. Due to its large tires, it has been compared to the 2-wheel-drive Rokon and has been called a "two-wheeled quad".
Shinji Kazama rode a TW200 to the North Pole in 1987.[5]
In a review of the 2020 model, Ultimate Motorcycling said, "If you're patient and persistent, the TW can take you almost anywhere.
What is a Yamaha TW200?
The Yamaha TW200 is a dual-sport motorcycle from Yamaha. Launched in 1987, the "Trail Way" 200 is a basic, 196 cc no-frills motorcycle with a carburetor and rear drum brake.

Mine is an 08 tough and super reliable it's been to Tuktoyaktuk A trusty steed, indeed
Dude, super cool video - I just bought a 1990 TW 200 for $450.00 at a local auction
Damn that is the most amazing deal.
I'm 71 just bought a 2019 tw200 absolutely love this motorcycle
Great video on it
Nice video. I have 2 x TW200, amazing billy goats, will climb anything, great fun & not one problem ever! Suggested mods: Cyclerack rear rack, IMS or Tusk footpegs, Richochet bash/skid plate, Shinko 241 front tire, Tusk bar risers, Tusk handguards, Jimbo windscreen, JNS engineering or other LED headlight & seat concepts foam/seat if you have the $$. Some put a 47 tooth sprocket for easier (lower) rpm cruising at the top end. Stock is 50 tooth. Safe riding & thanks for the video. Ronny
Yes 47 tooth I had one put on my TDUB and I must say I cruise comfortably at 60-65 mph all day, lower rpm and no handle bar vibration, love the bike.
Saving this in case I pick up a TW200 - ty!
😂🐐
Great motorcycle!
I rode a 1000cc sport bike for 20 years. After a few years off I bought 2019 tw200.
I love the little bike but I know it's because ive owned powerful bike and knows what that's about.
I got it out of my system and now O can enjoy a 17hp bike cruising around enjoying the trails..
It's fn awesome.
Shinko 241 for the front works great. Like a grappling hook .
Great review
Thanks. You are helping sell this to my wife 62 who is about to start out on one of these.
U get it?
Bought 2. 1 each for both of us.@@crypticreality8484
At My Age 72' and My Style Of Riding, This Bike Works For Me. This is Not A Highway Cruiser Nor Is It Made For Mountain Climbing. Buy Something Else If These Are Your Pursuits!
Yeah exactly, it's a great bike for casual riding
? Many ppl take this thing up mountains.
My MSF course had these as some of the bikes available and I loved it. The upright seating condition felt really nice and I loved the styling.
Me too. My class had a bunch of 250cc road bike looking pieces of junk and two of these. Because I was the tallest out of the 20 or so students I got to ride the TW and I fell in love with it. I still want one to this day.
I did my course on a Tdub and I want one now too
Got back into riding at age 70 on a 2019 TW. Which led to a Zero FX 7.2 with 7 times the torque which led to a 2023 BMW G310 GS because the Zero was insane. All 3 sitting in my garage in Mt Shasta where the off road riding is endless.
Sounds great!
Norcal is amazing place for off roading!
I brake for Bigfoot and Lemurians.
Great video, straight to the point with good info. I've been considering buying one of these for a while now, and your video sealed the deal! I love the different variations at the end, especially the military looking bikes!
Till the the end awesome review. I so wish we had this TW 200 model in my country.
Andrew ... where has this youtube channel been all my life ? So much info on so many popular bike all found in one place and presented in a very entertaining way ! Thank you , sub forever !
Loved the video, I’ve had my TDub since 2018/19 and I love it. Always love seeing what others say about it
Excellent review… you pretty much covered all the bases. I love my Tdub!
Been wanting to get one great video
Well done video, good review.
This helps, glad you produced it. Got me thinkin.....
Great vid, best of luck to your channel pal. You've got another subscriber.

I had a TW 200 electric start back when they first came out and I enjoyed it.
Great video. Watched until the end.
Cool thanks!
Beautiful review!! Haha I was actually exited watching the video Yamaha should have you as their salesman!
I looked at these a year ago then figured maybe I didn’t want a bike.
Tired of fixing stuff I want stone reliable and from what you and others say this bike delivers that!
Decided to look at these again and i’m sold. Cheap to buy and tons of aftermarket parts.
Now to see if one can be found new.
Montage was super ending to a great video!🎉
I’m 69 years old and I bought a 2024 TW200 to get around my Colorado mountain town that has a lot of gravel roads. I’m keeping my Harley Sportster for highway use.
Nice video and advice. Thanks so much.
Thanks for the video Andrew..I'll be looking to get one of these real soon. Always liked them just as they are, just never actually bought one.....yet. ;)
Made it to the end. Liked the red modded TW in the montage.
Thanks for watching this long!
Loved the video. I bought a 2023 and after some carb issues and a warranty top engine rebuild, I’m excited to get on it again. I just wish there were more places to go off-road in NY b
All the way to the end, doing my research into TWs and will be getting two for us this winter.
U get em?
Without watching. 100% one of the best
I'm a 2 TDub dude myself. Enjoyed the video. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
❤
Thank you for the tips bro. I have one and planning to get a new one for our farm in Hawaii.
Nice! They are fin little bikes.
Thanks so much for explaining everything! And those custom bikes are just glorious. I want all of them now ha ha.
Haha yeah some of them are really cool, people have some really creative ideas.
"Glass out the horizon." You should patent that phrase. I don't live under a rock just never heard it before. Love it. Thanks for the review man.
Hey thank you for watching that long. Im glad you liked the video.
There’s a guy on YT who did a long highway stint on the TW managed to cease the engine… not recommended for long highway rides.
Can’t seem to find the video and link it for you 😅😅
Thanks for the video
🍻🍻
Of all the motorcycles I've owned, the only one I've ever regretted selling is my TW200. Now it's next to impossible to find. Best mod I did for town riding was change the rear sprocket to a 42 tooth. That let me ride at 60-65mph on highways (NOT interstate) on the way to the mountain trails, and still have plenty of grunt to climb the hills when I finally got there.
There are so many other bikes out there that offer speed, or torque, or can do rad jumps, etc. The TW isn't it. What the TW200 excels at is forcing you to slow down and enjoy the scenery along the ride. It inspires confidence even on the most challenging trails, and a feeling of accomplishment when overcoming obstacles. It's just so much fun! One day I'll have one again.
What's "next to impossible to find"?
@@martinp.2753 Probably he means for a good deal.
I also am 70 years old. The TW is such good therapy for coronation and self esteem. I want to keep riding but need to understand my limitations. God bless all you riders 😊
Came to this video because I’m taking the basic rider course in Missouri and this is the bike they are having me use
Well it's a great bike to learn on. Low seat height, easy to maneuver, and the throttle will never get you in trouble.
Great vid thanks
Thanks for watching, I have the XT250 full review coming tomorrow hopefully
Thanks
I live in the mountains in southern Spain. This is one bike I've been contemplating. Lots of tracks and mule paths here and mates who live in hard to reach places.
A few people have mentioned this bike, and there are a couple about.
Looks like it might do the job. Especially as speed is not high priority and there are lots of add ons.
Great bike for the back of an RV, In Australia it hasn't been available for decades so a rare find these days.
I have Hero Xpulse 200 cc , 13 .5 litre fuel tank , weights 142 kg , top speed 130 kmph , range full tank 450 to 500 km , its been 5 years and not single part changed even battery is stock aweosme performance also this Xpulse is FI and most affordable off roading bike in the world.
Great video Andrew. I watched till the end. The T Dub is a legend. Have you seen Fortnines video on it? It one of his best!
Thank you, and I will check it out!
I watched it until the end. I like the tW but not the high price for such a small HP engine. I presently ride a 2020 V-Strom 650 XT Adventure but it is a little tall for me at 5'9" and almost 74 yrs old. Nice informational video!
Well thank you for the support. And 74 still riding, hats off to you man. Have you seen my video of the benefits of riding for older riders?
th-cam.com/video/1JGnXWK6lOs/w-d-xo.html
I understand the appeal and some of those customs at the end are VERY cool. What I don't understand are people who refer to this bike as a "mountain goat" (or whatever) and that it will get you to places other bikes can't go etc. Thank you for correctly stating that you would have a hard time keeping up with "real" dual sports. A couple years ago I owned a KTM500EXC and my buddy wanted to get a TW to ride along. He had watched too many videos of reviewers claiming this bike was "super duper amazing" and it was by the skin of my teeth that I was able to get him to understand the reality of things. For what it is, it's great and I like it a lot but there's a reason dirt bikes/dual-sports all follow the same recipe of narrower wheels, longer suspension travel and higher ground clearances. Nice video, thumbs up!
Thanks bud! Great video. Some sick mods people think up.
It’s definitely not a dirtbike. The handling is awful. I have a tx300 husky and of course I’ll always be faster on it. I keep a tw200 on the back of my van as an exploration vehicle. I’ve taken the tdub places I wouldn’t take the other bikes because I can dab a foot on off camber cliff sides that you could lose a bike on. I’ve geared mine down to a top speed of 40mph, and revalved the suspension and I can climb anything and go everywhere. I will say the biggest weakness is the frame and I’ve had to do welding over the years. I’ll still never sell the bike
Getting anywhere and getting somewhere fast are two different things.
The TW is referred to as the mountain goat because it will get you there, fast or slow, doesn't matter.
Thanks for the video, I watched it all. Wish it did go a little faster. I'm having a hard time finding a dual sport for short people. I can tippy toe in this with me super thick soled Doc Marten boots.
Thanks for the review. I've had a Honda CT 125 for just about a year. I'm pleased with it, but I feel the TW200 would be better for the riding I do.
Very nice well done
THank you, glad you enjoyed.
I own one. I would not sell II, just pure fun in though environment where a BMW R1200 could not be. I really appreciated the guy at the beginning that went to the North Pole!
I love the former girlfriend comment.
Moved on, but kept the TW. Lol
Haha yeah she's long gone, I have been living my single life since August. I just had this video I wanted to do for a long time and not reason no to use the footage I took for it.
Thanks for a great video. I'll admit, I love the look...that's about the only reason to do a TW over an XT250 but with that said, I'll probably pick up a TW
Good review. I want to import one😉(SE)
Great review Andrew.
Yamaha's DR - just works - great farm bikes and as you say great beginners bike.
Yamahas DR?
@@MotorcyclesOffroad yamaha's version of the Suzy DR both reliable work horses
Nice review.
Looking for a smaller lighter bike than my 2015 HD Street 750 to carry or tow on my RV or 05 Tundra. This looks like it would suit my needs. Thanks!
TW's are awesome bikes, I took my M/C class after riding without an endorsement for 10 years 😅 They actually used the TW200 in the class, as I had one and I was used to riding VTwin 1600's it was like a toy. Now my main bike is an -83 Honda XL600R, and it's such a jewel for a 40 year old dual sport.
i love this bike i have a 2004 tw200 i got just to have fun with then it became my daily ride to work then i had a stroke and now it sits in the garage i will never sell it
Nice video! I definitely would get a TW200 if it was a bit quicker, at least on road. It seems like a great bike for off road cruising.
Yeah I mean for the reason people like it I can see it, but if it had 6th gear at least it would be much more useful.
@@MotorcyclesOffroad Replace rear sprocket from 50 tooth to 47 and much better
Shouldn't go on highway but even with stock gearing I could do 65 mph topping 4000 feet mountains at 50mph so I rode from Central Pennsylvania too Eastern West Virginia with no concerns was a rough 1700 mile trip for 9 days
Where’s the aftermarket TH-cam video and product link for a post 2001 kick start kit?! I’m trying fellas, but cannot find a kit for my 04’ TeeDub. ❤ Great Video
I really think the reason they are so popular is because that's what most learn on at the motorcycle class..as for as the custom tws none appealed to me.. but you every one has different likes.. I'm a stock look guy..except exhaust tune sometimes different color wheels
The do almost anything bike, even in the snow they can still go. For an around town scoot it’s the perfect little bike, great for beginners too as we had over 200 TW’s in the training program I worked for.
I always wanted one wish they would make it bigger!
When it was my first motorcycle and I never rode a dual sport, I thought it was ok. But once I started riding on a trail much, I realized it wasn't right for me. And once I changed to a WR250R, I saw real quick that the TW200 is really not suited for off-road riding aside from really light/easy stuff or riding in sand.
Yeah, I'd like Andrew to do a comparative test vs. the XT250, which is also suited to vertically challenged riders.
I did the COBDR including the Alpine Loop with my buddy who was on the TW200. It can go places & the bike is a hoot. It is not a KTM though so its all what you want out of your ride. I swear I need a TW200 just for foolin around locally on tiny roads here and keep the KLR for longer, more serious rides.
Yes I did watch it to the end I just got me a 1972 OSSA stiletto 250 dirt bike I can go nowheres without someone asking about if you can make a video on one of them
Great video, it was super informative! I had a question, how would a bike of this stature feel for a rider who is 6'5"? I've never ridden before and have been heavily considering this for 4×4 trails (after enough practice of course)
Wow, as a 5'4" owner of a TW200 I would imagine that you would fit and be happier with a taller bike. Although I consider it the best Prepper bike regardless of height, almost. I would recommend my XT225 or the KLR250 as beginner bikes for you. Or, at your height, go ahead and get a beginner keeper 350-400 like the DR350 or DRZ400. Depending on your riding plans you could also just jump right onto the KLR650, which I consider a better choice for your size than my pick the DR650 at my size. Check out excellent YT motorcycle channel Ogre, who is 6'7".
@@papatorr3669 Thanks for the advice! I really appreciate the bike recommendations, and I'll be sure to check out that channel you mentioned. Sounds like I've got some more research ahead of me
Nice video. 👍
First of all, that red and white "TW200 Trailway" shown ridden to the North Pole is not a TW200 at all.
Take a closer look at it.
It is a modified Yamaha TY250 trials bike (similar to the 1985-1986 TY350 sold in the USA), and I remember when Yamaha was using this video footage and pics to promote the then-new 1987 TW200T.
I was amazed they actually tried to pawn it off as a TW200 because a TY250 has, for one big difference, a 2-stroke engine.
I remember watching some of the promotional video of this North Pole trip and the sound of the engine is clearly that of a 2-stroke.
It's a completely different model of motorcycle.
Incredible.
I'm familiar with the TW200 and have owned three of them:
The debut year 1987 TW200T, a 2000 TW200M, and 2018 TW200J1.
My opinion:
If you want to ride fast, this is not your bike for either street or off-road.
The suspension is low-tech and short in wheel travel and not up to going fast over rough ground, the ergonomics encourage you to sit down and stay seated, and power and torque is fine for slower riding but not enough to be called fast.
Also, on the street the stock gearing is pretty low and the tranny is only 5 speeds, not 6.
My cruising speed on the street was 40mph, tops.
Sure, it will go faster, but 40mph was the best compromise.
That's not very fast for many roads even in the sticks where I live.
Off-road, it you want to go at a slower pace and stay seated nearly all the time, the TW makes a great choice.
While the short suspension means no high speeds over rough ground and lowish ground clearance, it makes the TW200 great at slow trail riding, even if you found yourself out in the woods with no trail at all in exploration mode.
The power is easy to use and control and the short suspension allows you to easily touch the ground so dabbing the ground or putting feet down while making a full stop frequently is easy.
If I had to imagine a scenario where the TW200 performs best it would be putting through easier trails when speed is not needed or exploring off the beaten path at a snail's pace.
For slower riding like that the bike is great.
true, it is a TY with the seat, tank, rear fender and rear wheel from a TW
I have a kx450f and im really thibking about selling it to get one of these as my first street legal bike, i live in a small mountain town and this thing looks so fun!
Enjoy that great little bike. I have a 750 magna 83. I would trade it for in a second for that bike.😂
kapan ada di Indonesia Yamaha TW 200 ini mantap dan kerennn
Nice now a fan of the TW 200 it reminds me of my first bike a Honda ST90 it was street legal with signals and a plates and I could ride into town and run errands. Go cruze trails. Or push it down the driveway at night and sneek out to see my girlfriend. 😌👍
Hey! What would you recommend for good off road motorcycle? (Dual sport or adv preferably)
I went with the KLX230 but will always wonder about the Tdub.
I live in southern Missouri, nothing but rocky trails up and down hillsides around here. The Tdub would be right at home in my area.
Why did I get the KLX230? It looks like a dirt bike and has a 6 speed gear box.
Very capable machine, good for shorter legged riders.
My legs are too long an i have to sit too far from the bars with my arms straight out.
Not comfortable for me.
I sold mine but kept the Honda XL200R .
I had one a few years ago. I knew what I was getting when I bought it, however, it was even more uncomfortable and gutless than I had anticipated. I modded it to make it really cool but in the end, had to get rid of it because of the aforementioned reasons.
So what is a good tire to put on it for going on trails? That's better than stock thinking about getting a couple of these for my wife and I.
I have 2 new TW love em. But i have outher bikes too
Got mine a couple years ago too, 75% on road 25 off. Still love it. SEND me your death wings guy's - I'll buy at a fair price. I kinda like them & burn through them on road....
Testriden a TW125 (seems the bigger ones weren't sold here). But it wasjust to few power on hilly roads for the price...
“The dash is dated”. Of course it is the whole dang bike is a relic. It’s crazy to me that this bike is still almost identical to the first year it was released.
Haha yup it sure is, 2 changes and that's it.
Because of this parts and accessories will always be available from many sources.
What are the pro of the larger tire?
Ive tried one and the handling was really strange because of them, and it didn't feel that much grippier in mud.
I was always confused by these bikes be abuse I'm used to hearing people talk trash about them and then in the same semact express how much they love them. At first I thought they were ugly but it's grown on me lol I can definitely see how it be great for beginners or someone who want something less aggressive looking.
I think of the TW200 with its wide tires and low gearing as a mechanical mountain goat. In the early 1980's I rode an earlier design Yamaha farm bike, the two-stroke AG175. Like you said, it wouldn't get you anywhere quickly, but it WOULD get you there eventually. Unfortunately, in North Africa where I worked at the time, the two-strokes would occasionally "soft seize" when being run hard (road miles) on hot days. I would have much preferred the TW200.
Yamaha still sells the AG200 (same 4-stroke engine as the T-Dub), here in South Africa.
Looks fun!
Almost could be a daily driver..
I would hold our for something with 6 gears.
They need to make a tw 400. With fuel injection and disc brakes then I’d buy one. It’s hard to want to daily a bike that only goes barely 55 miles an hour
Does anyone know what the rear side bag luggage @ 7:46 are? or a source? I have no interest in getting anything fancy, just something that works.
Fun fact “TW” stands for Trail way
Could you get a smaller width tire for the back?
What year do you think is the best?
Tires good in thicker gravel?
A T-dub 400 would be twice as fun.
Maybe, but could also weigh a lot more. I would try it though lol
Do you have a review with the Himalayan?
No not yet, that one is actually in the works.
Wish we would get it back in Europe, but for meeting Euro5 standards it must have front and rear ABS and for the emission I daub it will be impossible with out a fuel injection…
So for the numbers they sold here, Yamaha wouldn’t do the hassle to develop a Euro5 version….
some of those at the end look like TW scrambler. I love em. They are strong slow tractors. Ive ridden them but never owned one. I ride a Harley but I have had 6 Jap bikes and I loved them all. If you dont take yourself too seriously and just want to explore, its perfect.
And if this particular Motorcycle is a really good fit for your particular needs or preferences, there’s really just not many affordable options out there. One of these days, someone is going to put a little regenerative brushless hub motor on the front for intermittent two-wheel-drive on demand, and it really will be an unstoppable go-anywhere bike capable of dragging itself PLUS your own dismounted carcass out of whatever abomination you have managed to ride it into, so long as you can at least hang onto the handlebars. (I have actually seen a dual chain-drive Rokon do exactly this from a mud and water-filled ditch.) That could come in handy…
It's a motorcycle, motorcycles are fun, therefore, it is fun. However, you must be content to go slow, VERY SLOW. The suspension sucks, so you can't go fast sitting down, and the ergonomics are absolutely horrible for standing up, so that doesn't work either. And of course the engine has minimal power, plus it is jettedso lean that I consider it unusable without carb resetting and adjustments.
I got a couple to teach the wife to ride, and it worked well enough for this. But once past that, we sold both and I got her a XT250 which is really what we should have got to begin with. It is 3 times the bike, and just as suitable for learning.
I’m torn between the TW and the VanVan for a “daily driver”
I'm 68 6' 200lbs I have a 75 DT 400. It's thrilling to ride but a bitch to kick start cold even with a ignition upgrade. Looking for something easy to ride in an urban area and load in my truck for trail riding. This looks good but I don't want to feel like I'm riding a mini bike.
re: tires. AFAIK only the front is the “deathwing” the rear most of us TW owners like. It’s good on the street and plenty of traction off road in all but the most extreme conditions. I personally have never found fault with it unless the mud gets deep. the front however is garbage and should be placed in the garbage as step 1 when the bike is new.
As of today there are some other options besides the ATV tire if you ware willing to spend the money. Pro Cycle sells wheels for it in a 17” size which opens up lots of ADV style rubber for the rear.
Reminds me of a class of motorcycles back in the 70’s that was designed to climb over rocks and logs. Can’t remember what the class was called.
Maybe you’re referring to the Rokon 2x2
@@chadtitmus The bikes I was referring to is called Trails motorcycle class.
@@rickiejacobs5910 Trials?
Trials class.
I actually have no problem keeping up with thosr other bikes on the trails and when it gets really rough i do better than those guys...the Tdub is a very fun and versatile all around bike...and alot of fun!!
would be the perfect post apocalyptic bike if it wasn’t for the unique tires 😂
I'll keep my TW until the day I die. :)
You gotta love it, it's the AK-47 of motorcycles.
