Yamaha TW200

The Yamaha TW200 is a 196 cc single cylinder dual-sport motorcycle that Yamaha has manufactured and marketed since 1987. TW stands for Trail Way. Its most recognisable feature is a pair of very large, wide tires, which has led riders to compare it with the two-wheel-drive Rokon and to call it a two-wheeled quad. A 2001 update removed the kick starter and replaced the front drum brake with a disc brake, and the model also gained a 55 W charging system, a revised carburetor, a trip meter and an automatic cam chain adjuster. Smaller changes followed in later years, including a smaller fuel cap in 2002, an updated base cylinder gasket in 2009 and a new rear shock unit in 2017. Reviewing the 2020 model, Ultimate Motorcycling said that if you are patient and persistent, the TW can take you almost anywhere.
