YAMAHA TW200 (2016-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2016, the Japanese motorcycle maker released the Yamaha TW200, a small-displacement dual-sports machine that remained almost unchanged for its entire production time, wearing the exact technical, visual, and performance specifications as previous models without modifications.

The 2016 model was fitted right from the factory with standard features, such as a small rectangular headlight up front with a small wind deflector, a one-piece dual seat, a high-mounted single exhaust system, and wire-spoke wheels with fat off-road tires.

The bike's long-lasting engine was reliable and offered ample torque and power for various conditions. The bike provided a low seating position, an electric starter, and an automatic chain tensioner, which made it a popular machine, complemented by fat tires with great contact with the ground.

The 2016 Yamaha TW200 had its soul brought to life by a 196cc four-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine managed by a carburetor, boasting 16 hp with a peak force at 8,000 rpm and 15 Nm (11 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.

The power produced by the engine was transferred to a five-speed constant-mesh transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch and sent to the rear wheel through a final chain drive.

The bike's steel frame was fitted with a 33 mm telescopic fork with 160 mm of travel and a 220 mm brake disc on the front, while the rear end was coupled to a single shock absorber with 150 mm wheel travel and one 110 mm brake disc.
