Yamaha’s TW200 is a dual-sport bike that’s good for off-roading as well as road use, and it’s a good fit for taller riders. It’s one of the lightest motorcycles on the market at 278 lbs. While it’s a bit on the smaller side with a 31.1-inch seat height, it’s not a bad pick. If you want to hit some trails while out camping, it’s a solid choice. A 6-foot-2 rider says the bike works just fine for them, but you might have to tune the suspension to your liking depending on your weight.
A 6-foot-3 rider said the motorcycle was fine when they rode around for six hours, and the main issue was low speed, likely due to the 196cc engine. This comes with some benefits, though, and the lower MSRP is a big one. Prices begin at $4,999 for the TW200, so it’s a very affordable pick if you’re looking for a motorcycle. Like all of the other new Yamaha’s on the list, this one comes with a one year limited factory warranty, something you’re not getting if you go for a used bike.
