TDUBFEST 2023 - Day 4 (Part 2) Sunday, September 17th, 23023! For the first portion of the morning, I rode with Dustin of @dualdorks (Part 1 Video)    • Exploratory Sunday Part 1 TDUBFEST 20...   •• PART 2 is the Sunday Afternoon Solo Session after Dustin of Dual Dorks packed up and headed home. I wanted to go back and re-run that gnar-gnar section he and I ran earlier in the day when my Go-Pro did not cooperate! Luckily, Dustin was filming during that descent off the mountain down into Eureka, UT. and here is that section from his view:    • TW200 Exploring in Utah. Inaugural TW...   ••• YES! I WENT BACK FOR MORE! And even in the process of going back over there, I started exploring other sections! It is very interesting to see and ride various terrain in and around this area between Little Moab and Eureka, Utah! With the little town of Eureka, UT, as your support location (gas/food), the terrain can vary from desert to mountains in either direction you choose to ride! The roads can vary from maintained gravel/dirt to rugged non-maintained roads, grassy plains 2-track, and even single track! @Mobstreet83 Matt has found a wonderful little slice of the desert from which to host the basecamp of TDUBFEST!

WHY THE YAMAHA TW200?
The Yamaha TW200 is a single-cylinder 196cc engine, mini dualsport for a wide range of riders, including a little fat tire commuter bike, adventure-ready beginner bike, farm bike, mini dual sport, RV camper bike, and 29-inch club-approved!

The Yamaha TW200, or “TDUB,” as many refer to it in the social media landscape, has been in production since 1987, making it one of the longest-running dual-sport motorcycles available worldwide! As of this writing (2024), the Yamaha TW200 is currently in production, and the Yamaha corporate website shows a 2020 model. That is 37 years' worth of TDUBS around the globe!

What makes this relatively small motorcycle so popular? Size or looks? Maybe both… The Yamaha TW200 equipped with its small with its 196cc engine,… The engine is NOT what you notice at first. For many, the TW200 has a unique look with its almost balloon-looking tires. The knobby tires are wider than other bikes in the small dual-sport category and maybe as wide as most big-bore dual-sport motorcycles! But the look of the TW200 is unique due to the overall tire height in comparison to the tire width as the TW200’s Bridgestone rear tire is much shorter at 14″ at roughly 170+ mm wide (rear), giving the TW200 that short stubby stance yielding the rider with one of the shortest motorcycle seat heights in the industry at 31.1” inches and did we already say, “it’s street legal!” ( Bridgestone Trail Wing TW34 Dual/Enduro Rear Motorcycle Tire 180/80-14).

These two key ingredients — low seat height and wide stance tires, make for a wide range of talking points about why both beginning motorcyclists and seasoned riders choose to ride a Yamaha TW200!

OH YEA! And it’s STREET LEGAL!
While it is quite easy to understand why a first-time motorcyclist would want to start riding a Yamaha TW200, the real question is why a seasoned rider would choose the TDUB or, aptly, the Yamaha TW200. https://tdubclub.com/why-the-yamaha-t...
