Overview
The 2016 Yamaha TW 225 is a dual-sport motorcycle powered by a 223 cm³, air-cooled, four-stroke SOHC single with a carburetor. It weighs 126 kg.
Its 264 mm of ground clearance helps it pass over ruts and obstacles, while the 130/80-18 front and 180/80-14 rear tires provide a broad footprint on loose surfaces. The 790 mm seat height gives it a relatively low seating position, and the 6.8-liter fuel tank means fuel stops can come more often on longer rides.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Generous ground clearance

Light weight
At 126 kg, it is easier to maneuver at low speeds than a heavier motorcycle would be.
Things to consider
Limited fuel capacity
The 6.8-liter tank can mean more frequent stops on longer rides.
Chain final drive
The chain needs periodic cleaning and adjustment.
Rear drum brake
The rear brake is a 110 mm drum, rather than a disc.
