Yamaha is debuting a new heavy-duty utility motorcycle concept at the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show.
Described as the “SUV motorcycle”, the Yamaha XTW250 RYOKU was designed to carry heavy loads for both on and off the road. The concept’s name suggests it may share elements of Yamaha’s XT250 and TW200 dual sports. In fact, the fat front tire, wheels and forks look almost identical to those on the TW200 while the shape of the fuel tank resembles that of the XT250. Throw in a bit of the Honda Ruckus voila, the Yamaha XTW250 RYOKU.
Yamaha hasn’t revealed any specifics, but does describe features such as a low-mounted large-capacity fuel tank, chassis guards, removable LED lights, and a low center-of-gravity high-load rear carrier.
Hopefully we’ll have more information when Yamaha reveals the XTW250 RYOKU at the Tokyo Motor Show alongside the Y125 MOEGI and EC-Miu concepts.

I like it! I agree with the other post, a 450cc would be better. But the 250cc would be adequate.

I really like the rugged, no-nonsense, look. This might be the perfect bike for the crumbling roads and bridges riders face today. An additional 450 or 600/650 version could better handle the freeways as well.

I’ve said for years they should put the XT motor in the TW. Great concept and hope like heck it comes to the U.S. market. A 450cc motor just wouldn’t work. Detuned or not it would produce to much torque and with the traction the TW tires get, it would just spin the rim inside the tires.

I have a TW200 with a larger Clark gas tank and Dirt Bagz to hold my camping gear. In spite of its wimpy engine this bike is fun. I’m excited about the added features as long as they have shaved some weight from the 25 year old design. Now if only Christini would make a two wheel drive kit for this XTW250S. I’ll list my TW200 for sale as soon as the XTW250 hits the showroom.

seems like a larger engine would be nice, maybe a detuned 450? I’m sure the could get the 450s to produce massive torque down low.
