Rider Profile

Best For	Well suited to beginners and casual riders thanks to its low seat height, light weight, and forgiving low-speed manners.
Purpose	Built for slow-speed trail exploration, farm and ranch duty, and playful puttering rather than any kind of speed or distance riding.
Rider Fit	Its low seat, light wet weight, and narrow chassis make it very approachable for shorter or less physically strong riders.
Character	A quirky, easygoing dual-purpose machine with balloon tires and a torquey small-bore engine that prioritizes fun and traction over performance.
Not Ideal For	Not for riders wanting highway speed, long-distance touring comfort, or aggressive on-road cornering performance.

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 Yamaha TW200, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
