Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to beginners and casual riders thanks to its low seat height, light weight, and gentle low-end power delivery.
PurposeDesigned as a fun, low-stress trail and dual-purpose bike for light off-road exploring, farm or ranch use, and short urban hops rather than any kind of speed or distance machine.
Rider FitVery approachable for shorter or lighter riders due to the low, flat seat and manageable dry weight, though the oversized balloon tires demand a bit of getting used to at low speed.
CharacterQuirky, easygoing, and utilitarian, with a distinctive big-tire stance that trades outright performance for stability, simplicity, and charm on mellow trails.
Not Ideal ForNot a good match for riders wanting highway speed, long-distance touring comfort, or aggressive cornering performance.

2005 Yamaha TW 200 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 2005 Yamaha TW 200, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
