I've been looking for one for a few years in MI. Shortly after Jan 1 2024, the dealer actually said "Yes!". I almost spit the coffee out of my mouth and was like, shoot, I gotta move a little money around haha. Grew up on snowmobiles and quads but this is my first bike. Was built yesterday and picking it up this weekend ($5995 OTD with reg) thanks to videos like yours. Thank you!

When I can't ride my TW... I watch videos about TW. haha While it does go at MSRP around 4800. Most folks these days are out the door around 5 to 6 k. They are pretty hard to get a hold of these days. Seems like I bought mine right when they went rare, dealer told me it wouldn't be there tomorrow if I didn't take it (of course! gotta create a sense of urgency). Then I checked a year later and they still didn't have any in stock, haven't seen one since. They don't even make it to the floor most the time.

The TW is a great first , last and everything in between bike . Being 5'7" with a 30 in inseam i figured out pretty quickly that the off road world left me behind when I moved up from 80cc to the 125cc world. Thats when I moved to the BW 200 then the BW 360 after that I just stopped riding bikes off road. With only 20% of males in the US 6ft or taller I never understood the 34+ in seat heights and 14 in suspension travels on non motorcross dirt bikes I mean seriously how many people use more then 6 to 8 in of travel 10% maybe? I do wish yamaha would make the TW version of the BW350 but the TW200 only survives because it uses it's original EPA import license from 1986. Updating it to todays EPA standards sadly would be cost prohibitive for both the manufacturer and the consumer. At least the TW still exists .

I’m 5’6” with a 28” inseam, and I have often wondered the same thing about these super tall bikes. I looked at a DRZ400 a few days ago, and although I would love to have one, there’s no way I’d be comfortable riding it. In fact, I ended up buying a KLR650S, the new one with the lower seat height. It fits me so much better, and I hope Kawasaki sells tons of them. And maybe the other manufacturers will take notice and start producing bikes for shorter people 😎 I mean, I can dream, can’t I? 😆

I've seen numerous videos on the TW, yours is the best at explaining what these bikes are all about. I just put a deposit on one and hopefully will have it in about a month. Your video shows you have a well rounded level of experience with motorcycles. People I've mentioned TW's to generally say, oh that's too small, why don't you get a 450. < The folks who say this generally have little to no experience with motorcycles. I tell them the TW is about getting you way out away from it all and back while sipping fuel. I have an 01 Honda CR-500/Yamaha R-1/old KDX-250 2-cycle and have had NUMEROUS other bikes. Again you explained the TW perfectly.
