The Yamaha TW200 (Trail Way) was a dual sports motorcycle made and marketed by Yamaha since 1987 and powered by a 196cc single-cylinder engine. In 2001, the bike was updated, losing the kick starter and gaining a brake disc on the front.

The bike was fitted with fat tires, compared to the two-wheel-drive Rokon model, and referred to as a two-wheeled quad. In a review by Ultimate Motorcycling, they said, "If you're patient and persistent, the TW can take you almost anywhere." Also, the TW200 motorcycle was ridden to the North Pole by Shinji Kazama.

In 1999, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha TW200, a dual sports motorcycle with excellent off-road capabilities that made similar displacement motorcycles blush in shame.

The 1999 Yamaha TW200 had installed a 196cc four-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine with a Mikuni carburetor in charge, delivering an output power of 16 hp at 8,000 rpm and 15 Nm (11 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.

The bike's power was transferred to a five-speed constant-mesh manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch and sent to the rear wheel through a final chain drive.

Suspension-wise, the motorcycle packed a 33 mm telescopic fork with 160 mm wheel travel on the front and a single shock absorber on the rear with 150 mm wheel travel, delivering excellent suspension performance and handling.
