Yamaha TW200 Motorcycle
A good bike for beginners doesn't mean it has to feel like a toy for more experienced riders. Yamaha's TW200 perfectly fills that niche in a dual-sport, good for the street or the trail. The 200cc single-lunger is exceptionally light, meaning the accidental drop — admit it, we've all done it — doesn't have to turn into a nightmare at an intersection. Those very noticeable fat tires provide a good ride, and the suspension is capable whether on- or off-road. Just don't expect to keep up with highway traffic — you'll need all 200ccs to make around 55 mph. An unexpectedly good-looking bike, the TW200 is ideal for new riders and veterans looking for something cheap and extremely whippable on tarmac or dirt.
