TW200 in Thailand: Freak Bike for Donuts Lovers

What is it? A half of a tractor? A big donut with a frame and an engine? Or some joke from motorcycle manufacturers?

First time I saw these bikes at Burapha Bike Show 2008 (place near Pattaya). There were big crowds of guys with those bikes, most of which were tuned in minimalism style – totally “naked”, long swingarm accenting that a big rear donut, under frame hanged short Supertrapp megaphone muffler. What Asians did with a shy offroad bike! After such tuning a motorbike is good only for showing off in front of girls with risk to fall with buttocks on uncovered rear donut

Enjoy photos, if you’re interested – look at specs of TW200 on official Yamaha website.

How crazy Asians tuning is:
