Yamaha actually offers many dual purpose motorcycles for their fans, for the example is Yamaha TW200 edition, this bike powered by 200cc engine, looks good enough for beginner but for me 200cc is not enough, with big tire 180/80-14 of TW200 rear tire, this bikes seems need extra power to run aggressive, not bad and good for style but sorry for the performance, I thing 130/80 or 120/80 will give better acceleration, isn't it?

For better acceleration and power, Yamaha XT250 comes with "right" tires, it has 120/80-18 on the rear tire and 2.75-21 on the front tire. Braking system is one of the important part for dual purpose adventure motorcycles, so Yamaha give the XT250 with all disc brakes type on the both side, 245mm disc on the front and 203mm disc on the rear, not the best but strong enough for extreme stopping.
