Yamaha introduces XTW250

[walking eagle]

I like it. Have wished for a slightly larger TW for years - was hoping for a 350 - like the old XT350/ BW350 engine. We might just get it here. The TW has been in the lineup since 1987 - so it sells well enough to keep around. The adventure bike market is the one segment that is growing rather than receeding (why we now have the Super Ténéré and why triumph has gone into that segment harder). Add the two together - and who knows.

Here's a video, in Japanese with subtitles, that shows a few of the XTW250's features. The bike shown is definitely a concept vehicle, so the production model will lack many of the fancy items to keep the cost under control.

They need to pay more attention to detail, there's a bottom yoke bolt missing (1:04 > 1:06 on the 1st video).

if the yoke is the piece that goes across the forks holding the horn on the right side......they are both there:ylsmoke: the position of the bolt head makes a weird shadow that gives the impression its missing....
