The Yamaha TW200 Details
The Power
Powering this motorcycle is a 196cc air-cooled, four-stroke single engine with a five-speed transmission and a manual clutch. The maintenance-free CDI ignition system offers reliable spark and peak performance at any rpm. With torquey low and mid-range power the TW200 rider will be happy with both on and off-road riding. Long term riding is comfortable with minimal vibration thanks to the internal engine counterbalance. For simple starting, it is equipped with an electric start button and maintenance is kept to a minimum with an automatic cam chain tensioner.
Great Looks & Great Features
Whether on-road or off-road, the wide front fender offers protection for the rider against mud and dirt and the fork shrouds keep debris from damage to the fork sliders. The long seat is comfortable and long enough to carry the rider and a passenger and includes frame mounted passenger footpegs. A high and low beam enduro style headlight and flex-mounted turn signals are very durable both on and off-road as well.
An easy bike to ride, with a low seat height and compact chassis along with big fat tires that offer excellent traction, this bike at an MSRP of $4590 in blue and white offers a great ride at a great value.
