Rider Profile

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

2016 Yamaha TW200 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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 2016 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.
