2012 Yamaha XT250 and TW200 Motorcycles UsedYamaha’s North American division, Star Motorcycles, has just introduced the 2012 XT250 and TW200 dual purpose motorcycles, with both models set to arrive at nationwide dealerships this July. The XT250 achieves fuel economy up to an estimated 73 mpg, while the TW200 returns an estimated 78 mpg.
Electric start and full street equipment mean it is super convenient to ride the TW200 just about wherever you need to go. The strong-pulling 196cc air-cooled, four-stroke single delivers torquey low and mid range power perfectly suited to off road exploring while the maintenance free CDI ensures precise, reliable spark for peak engine performance at all rpm
Yamaha says that the XT250 bike has suspension equipped for long traveling distances along with a ground clearance of 11.2 inches with a seat that is 31.9” above ground. The cradle semi-double steel chassis makes the bike more nimble and light because of more mass centralization, whereas greater torsional and lateral rigidity along with decreased weight of lower frame elements aid in providing stable and light handling.
One of the most eye-catching in Yamaha’s lineup is the Yamaha TW200. It returns in 2012 with its fat rear tire and low seat height, providing extreme stability as one of the most user-friendly bikes available. Like the XT250, the TW200 is equipped with an electric starter and utilizes a 196cc air-cooled four-stroke engine. The bike offers low to mid-range power while on road or off, and instrumentation includes speedometer, odometer and a resettable trip meter. Capable of 78 mpg, the TW200 will be available to the public beginning in July of 2012 with an MSRP of $4490.
