I’ve got an XT225, the predecessor to the XT250, and two of my friends have 2019 xt250s. They’re great little bikes. I’m on the big side for the XT and it is known for a starter bike or a “girls bike.” It has been a great bike to learn on and capable in the woods. There are a few days I long for more power as it will go 75 mph but it doesn’t sound happy about it and I wouldn’t want to try to cruise at much over 55. I just take the backroads and avoid the highway.
Personally if there is much road travel planned I would prefer the XT over the TW. If I were planning more highway time I might look for more cc’s
