I made a tail rack for mine so I could carry a rifle, action packer box, and a folding chair for predator calling. The action packer box has a 12 volt plug inside. This allows me to recharge batteries in my e-caller or cell phone and run a USB cable to the handle bars to operate a GPS unit.
Here is a link to more info about the tail rack.

Yamaha has not changed the TW200 since 1987. So a new 2016 is the same bike as a 1987 model. This makes finding parts easy and there are a lot of after market accessories available for them. Very simple bike that is easy to work on. First gear is like a granny gear and the wide tires allow this bike to go anywhere. Top speed is 65mph on level ground. I can drop the tire pressure down to 5 psi and use it like a sand buggy, but I typically run 20psi for most riding conditions. I also use my TW200 for transportation around town and it gets about 70 miles/gallon. The main gas tank has a range of about 100 miles with an additional 20 miles on the reserve side. They come from the factory to be street licensed. That's a really sweet set-up!
