I bought a 2018 TW200 (brand new) for $3800 in February of 2018. Amazingly, I now have equity in a motorcycle. I never thought that would happen.

Maybe drop the music track, your commentary gets lost because of the music, otherwise nice video on the TW, great bike for us short people.

I bought a Hornet 600CBF with the intention to do upgrade my licenze. But then a found a TW for a nice price and guess what... sold the hornet and now I am a TW addicted. It so su fun to ride that once you try this iconic workhorse you fall in love with this tiny yamaha jewel...

Just picked up a 2001 TW200 that has some nice upgrades to it already to ride this spring,

Excellent video. I just got a 2021 TW200 a few weeks back. It’s been great so far. I like the fact that it is a fairly simple bike, not a lot to tear up. If I could find a used one close to me, I just might add a second one to the stable.

I have been seriously looking at buying a TW200 and I appreciate your well thought out comments and analysis of this bike. Thank you for this video. Liked and subbed.

I bought a new 2019 in late May. I have put about 2300 KM (1400 miles) on it and it has been really great.

I Thought They Went To A Front Disc Brake In 2001. Regardless, You're Lucky To Have It . . .

Great video & Congrats on a great score!
It looks like you stumbled across a real winner. Especially with kick And electric. Niiice!
Cleanup / Tuneup / Accessorizing did the trick. That TW should keep on going forever now.

3rd time's a charm right?! I'm officially on TW # 3 now, and couldn't be more stoked!
As a teen, I had 2. 1 off-road-dedicated & 1 licensed, that I used to go everywhere on..
1 sold, 1 was stolen, fast forward, I found the 'new' one..
2013 [13 is my favorite #] Absolutely showroom mint, w/ only 47 original miles on the clock!
Yuuup.. You read that right! I've been having an absolute blast getting it modded for adventuring, as well as breaking it in.. It hit 440mi after my last ride, so I figured I'd give er' a quick tune-up/oil-change. It's back in action and ready for more.

I started riding at 13 and I'm 40 now.. I've been in the auto/cycle industry most of those years in between - in one way or another, and have owned/ridden countless bikes..
When it came time to grab one this year for my Coronageddon / Coronapocolypse bike,
I knew that there could be only one.. And it was the TDub.. Damn these things are fun!

After thinking about it, I've actually done a lot to mine already, so I'll have to sit down,
and come up with an extensive list with brands/models/prices/links..
I'm sure that'll help other people get some ideas on how to burn $ on these bikes. haha

I have 1 TW200 video on my channel - as of now: It's 2+ hours long [if people are bored]
I'm from Central NY - but currently in Upstate NY, so I did a POV compilation vid of cruising around the towns here, as well as hitting up the Montezuma National Wildlife Reserve..
I do a lot of wildlife photography there, so figured I'd take the bike for a change..
**I pinned a list of time-stamps w/ descriptions to help people navigate the vid as well.

Wow.. Mini-novel.. Sorry, I got lost in thought..

🙂👍

That is not actually a 2001. 2001 was the first year for a front disc brake and 1999 was the last year for a factory installed kick starter though many later models were retro fitted as the case is even to this day, able to accommodate a kick starter. 1987 was first year of production.

Super solid bike. Epic FortNine TW200 vid:

Get that kid some motocross boots, safety first!

What a great find! What was the mileage on the bike? I know the speedometer was not connected.

[bigjj]

It seems to me that the wheels on the TW200 give it a big advantage over the bigger bikes, what do you think? Tw200 traction vs the Dr and vs the DRZ???

Would love to read your thoughts on the TW and how I have set ours up. Thanks for watching!
