Secure fun is the name of the game with Yamaha's TW200, especially at camp grounds, on dirt roads, and around the neighborhood. The wide tires inspire confidence in the most fearful beginner. Electric starting and a low seat height help too. Seat height: 31.1 inches.

 Nice bike - oversize "balloon" tires give the bike somewhat unusual handling. Great for loose surfaces but harder to turn than bikes with narrower "normal" tires. Has a huge following in Japan with lots of crazy mods!
