Notice anything peculiar about this TW? See how the tank says TW250? Well, Yamaha never made a TW250 – but the builder of this oddball did. It features an engine swap from a Yamaha SR250, which doesn’t just bump up power to 20hp, it also gives a more powerful alternator and electric start.
The lasting power of the TW200 is impressive – Yamaha still makes it and all that seems to change over the years is the paint scheme. It’s reliable, slow, and street legal, which makes it an excellent rig to throw on the back of a mobile home or use as a in-town runabout.
This bike has the carb from a XT, headling from a SR, Renthal bars, and progressive springs. This bike is basically half TW and half SR, topped with the 3 gallon fuel tank from a XT350. The main cosmetic issue is a dent on the tank, but for an extra $250 the seller will throw in luggage racks with 3 1-gallon gas cans and mounts.
