YAMAHA TW200 (2003-2004) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Yamaha TW200 (TW was short for Trail Way) was a single-cylinder dual-sports motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha since 1987. The bike was compared to the two-wheel-drive Rokon due to its large tires and has been referred to as a two-wheeled quad.

In 2003, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha TW200. This machine came with the same package as previous models, featuring the exact technical, visual, and performance specifications without any significant modifications.

The bike was equipped with factory-installed standard features, such as a single headlight unit up front, a small fuel tank, a one-piece dual seat, a high-mounted single exhaust system, and wire-spoke wheels with fat off-road tires.

The bike was built around a steel frame with a 33 mm telescopic fork on the front, offering 160 mm wheel travel and a single shock absorber on the rear with 150 mm wheel travel, delivering optimum suspension performance and handling.

In the braking department, the bike packed a 220 mm brake disc on the front that replaced the previous drum unit in 2001 and one 110 mm drum braking unit on the rear, offering optimum stopping power.

In the performance department, the 2003 Yamaha TW200 had installed a 196cc four-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine underneath its fuel tank, with a 28 mm Mikuni carburetor in charge, delivering an output power of 16 hp with a peak force at 8,000 rpm and 15 Nm (11 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.
