I bought one of those bikes when they first came out in the 80's. It was so fun and got me to work & back. I can't believe they are still selling them. Good for them, and us. I think I paid $1700 brand new for mine. The bank denied my credit, I put $1800 in a savings account, the bank approved my credit and that is how my credit history got started. The only problem I ever had with it was the seat covering got destroyed by the Arizona sun. I got it recovered before the foam broke down for cheap.

Hi guys, from up here in western Canada. Im 70 and I have an '87 with around 24,000 miles and a 2018 I just picked up with 300 miles. The original owner bought it new in 2018 for his wife and she didn't want it so just drove it a little that year. The '87 does exactly the same job except the disc brake is nice and things are a little tighter. Remember the old saying, "if it aint broke, don't fix it"? How many things can you buy these days that are pretty much the same as over 30 years ago and still dependable? The Tw's are really amazing bikes. They aren't astounding or magical...just consistent. Fun for all ages, a joy to go for a ride and muscle it around bit or just take in the scenery. I don't fight the bike, it and I make a team. I ride year round, I go up in the mountains night with some high power LED I put on and just enjoy the solitude. If they were just a 225cc they would be that much better but I'm not complaining, Im in no rush anyway and Im finished with the big highways any way. So a knee replaced two years ago and heart attack in April. The TW Dubs are nursing me through it all. lol Ive had over 60 bikes and these are my favourite all around keepers.

Tip for us older riders, I ride a GL1800 with a backrest for my bad back. It would be impossible to swing my leg up and over the backrest, but there is a super easy workaround, step up with your left foot on the foot peg, that made it easy for me to swing my leg up and over. That makes all the difference in the world, and will add years to your ability to ride.

In 1987 I was bike shopping for a Dual Sport. I checked out the Honda Reflex (a street legal Trials bike), the TW200 and a XT (No XLs in the area then). I put over 4 thousand miles on my TW and traded it for an XT600. A decision which I regret to this day. No bike ever gave me more smiles per mile than the TW. I used to get pulled over by cops who just thought it was cool and just wanted a closer look. In 1987 it had the fattest legal tire on the road. Loved the reusable (cleanable) oil filter. I did replace the rear fender with a homemade alum plate that held the taillight and license plate (too many wheelies LOL). I don't think anyone regrets a TW and glad to see it finally got a disc brake! Your 4th! Proof that the TW is a WINNER!

Yep! They are more popular than ever and I'm sure assembly on them has hardly changed from when you'd set them up!

I own a TW but i have one thing that makes me sad. The small engine tank. Apart from that, everything is really nice.

I'm a huge fan of the TW as well. Thanks for watching and for the comment. It doesn't have the biggest gas tank for sure, but it's been decent for what I do so far.

One of the most bullet proof bikes ever made. Wrecked one going 64 mph….picked it up and rode it home so I could get my folks to drive me to the hospital.

Do you still have the bike? That sounds like a story guy here in town told me about his TW! But, he didn't go to the hospital afterwards.

@@MOBStreet83 my parents may have it. It was a 1987 Yamaha tw200. Red and white. I was about 14 years old. I think it was May 2002 when I wrecked. I rode it for a few years after the wreck all over the mountain on trails and dirt. Solid machine. I was in Pennsylvania at the time.

The used motorcycle market is crazy right now. I'm seeing common bikes that are 3-4 years old with asking prices more than new. I don't blame him for waiting 6 months and buying new.

Hey Keiro, thanks for the comment! I agree with you about the used market. That is why I bought both of mine brand new and that's why my father in law bought new as well. I saw a 2021 listed today for $6,300. It's pretty hard not to buy new when they are listed for that for a used bike.

i’m trying to get the first one that comes into my local dealership next year. they’re pretty hard to get a hold of out here in the rocky mountains. everyone wants one!

Good, I'm glad! I've been happy with all three of mine so far!

Purchased brand new from dealer. Just installed cycle racks after viewing previous videos from your channel. Anyway you can make a video about actually starting and riding from cold start storage on battery tender to riding down the road? From a never before motorcycle or dirt bike rider standpoint. Thanks!!

Hey Matthew! Here is the video I threw together that will hopefully answer your question. kzread.info/dash/bejne/jGqK0qywac3Tp6g.html Thanks again and here's to many good times on the bike.

Love the TW, just wish Yamaha updated it just a bit. Make it 250 or 300cc fuel injected, modern gauges and led lamps. The Fuel injection will help it to start at different altitudes, temperatures and make it more fuel efficient. Larger engine will help to propel it on country roads and keep it's low end torque. LEDs will help to keep the voltage draw low and better lighting at night in trails. If they keep it like this (no change since 1986) they can ask for a lower price than what they are asking. I still think it's the best trail bike out there for the price. Low tech, easy to fix, parts that have been out there since 1986. Does it need an modern update? What you guys think?

@MOBStreet83

We love the TW too! I have a hard time with the fuel injection topic and the TW. Right now, It is more fuel efficient that the XT250 which has fuel injection. It gets 75 mpg as it sits. With bringing all the electronics to the bike, that just opens the door for more to go wrong which takes away from the simplicity of the TW which a lot of people love. I don't have anything against EFI, I know that most emission regs require it. However, my son and I went for a ride Saturday morning and it was 25° F so -4° C and the bike started fine. We then went to 7,000ft elev. and watched the sunrise and it was colder up there. Using the choke the bike fired up fine and we came back home. I do agree with the LED upgrades since they produce better visibility and require less draw. I might even agree with the bigger engine which I know a lot of folks would love to see. I think it could benefit from slight modern touches, but not too much. I know my Father-in-Law would like it come in a 350cc and 6-speed and he says it would then be the perfect bike. But, I'm still gonna keep riding these ones and if a new model comes out with some upgrades, depending on what they are, I will still buy them! Thanks for the great comment!

Fuel injection isn't more efficient than a choke, it just does the choking for you, but if you know what you're doing they'll start the same. On one hand the carb is a pain in the ass in the mountains, on the other hand, if the battery is dead your fuel injector won't work, but the carb will still spit fuel and the spark will run off the magneto. -- That is if you have a kickstart, I always forget the new ones removed it for some unfathomable reason. I might buy a new TW at some point but will make sure I have the kickstart kit available first. I ride below freezing temps where more lithium batteries die overnight, so modern electrics would ruin the bike for me - and almost already have, since they've gone electric start only. Lucky the kick kit is only $200 and afterwards you can rip out all the signals, gauges, etc. and just run a headlight and condenser if you want.

I'm 6ft4 and im comfortable on it , i have had numerous bikes in my life and the most reliable , do it all bike is the TW 200 , there is nothing that can go where tbis thing goes . Just put it in low range first gear and climb where you need to be. In South Africa this is used as a tool on thousands of farms.

Lady in Maine (Hi Molly!) had 126,000 miles on hers. RTW, etc. My question: Why not a 21" front wheel? A-a-and a little bigger tank as an option sure wouldn't hurt!

That's awesome! I would love to see that machine. There seems to be a lot of "Why not" questions that surround the TW. I don't have an answer. But, I have put some miles on both of mine and although there are a lot of unanswered questions about Yamaha never really changing the TW, I think it's an excellent machine. I have ridden thousands, literally, of motorcycles and the TW is still a blast to me. I guess we will have to wait and see if Yamaha surprises us with some changes to the bike. Thanks for watching and for the comment!

Sold! Wish I could find one.
