Yamaha Introduces 2012 Dual Purpose XT250 and TW200
Cypress, California, June 8, 2011 – See the world one trail or road at a time affordably and economically – made possible by the 2012 Yamaha XT250 and TW200 dual purpose motorcycles.
The XT250 has long-travel suspension and more than 11.2 inches of ground clearance under a seat only 31.9 inches from the ground. Electric start makes firing up the 249cc four-stroke effortless while the 245mm front disc and 203mm rear disc brakes combine to deliver superb stopping power on both paved and unpaved surfaces. The semi-double-cradle steel frame achieves a lighter, nimbler feel through greater mass centralization while greater lateral and torsional rigidity and reduced weight of the lower frame parts help produce light, stable handling. Additional features include the multifunction digital LCD instrument panel with cool green background lighting that’s easily visible day or night, and frame- mounted passenger foot pegs to provide two-up riding capability.
The XT250 achieves fuel economy up to an estimated 73 mpg* with a fuel tank that holds 2.4 gallons. The 2012 XT250 comes in White/Blue with an MSRP of $5,090 and will be available in dealerships nationwide beginning in July.
Those big fat tires deliver great traction and rider comfort over a wide range of terrain, and they make the TW200 the most distinctive-looking dual purpose machine around. A low seat and compact chassis help inspire confidence in anybody who rides the TW200, making it one of the most user-friendly on/off-road bikes on the market. 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. Standard instrumentation includes a speedometer with odometer and resettable trip meter as well as indicator lights for neutral, high beam and turn signals. The TW200 achieves fuel economy up to an estimated 78 mpg* with a fuel tank that hold 1.8 gallons.
The 2012 TW200 comes in White/Blue with an MSRP of $4,490 and will be available in dealerships nationwide beginning in July.
