YAMAHA TW200 (2017-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Yamaha TW200 was a dual-sports small-displacement motorcycle that debuted in 1987. The bike had a 196cc single-cylinder engine at its core and packed the exact visual, technical, and performance specifications without any significant modifications over its production time.

In 2017, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha TW200, a long-lasting machine that was compared to the two-wheel-drive Rokon due to its large tires and has been referred to as a two-wheeled quad.

In the visual department, the TW200 model had factory-installed 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 2017 Yamaha TW200 had its heartbeat set by a 196cc four-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine, fed by a 28 mm Mikuni carburetor, 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.

The bike's engine offered ample torque and power for various conditions. It offered a low seat height, electric starter, and automatic chain tensioner, which made it a desirable machine, complemented by fat tires with great contact with the ground.

The 2017 Yamaha TW200 packed a 33 mm telescopic fork with 160 mm of travel and a 220 mm brake disc on the front end. The rear end was handled by a single shock absorber with 150 mm wheel travel and one 110 mm brake disc, providing optimum suspension performance and stopping power.
