2024 Yamaha Dual Sport Motorcycles First Look

Tuning Fork brand’s TW200 and XT250 keep on keeping on.

July 27, 2023

While some manufacturers like KTM, Husqvarna, and Honda offer street-legal dirt bikes based on their respective motocross and cross-country racers, Yamaha sticks with only smaller-displacement options for its dual-purpose motorcycles. That trend continues for 2024 with the TW200 and XT250.

Mechanically unchanged from last year, the Tuning Fork brand’s dual sports see a price increase of $100 but still fall below $5,500, making them some of the most affordable motorcycles that can be ridden on and off-road straight out of the dealership. Continue scrolling to see photos and specifications of the 2024 Yamaha TW200 and 2024 Yamaha XT250.
