Yamaha TW200
The Yamaha TW200 is a 196 cc single cylinder dual-sport motorcycle manufactured and marketed by Yamaha since 1987. In 2001 an update was made that removed the kick start and replaced the front drum brake with a disc brake. Due to its large tires, it has been compared to the 2-wheel-drive Rokon[3] and has been called a "two-wheeled quad".[4]
