No it's not the trike with a 4th wheel, but it is close as it uses a lot of YTM parts. I wouldn't bother converting one, you would be better buying a trike to beguin with, you wouldn't be gaining anything with the conversion over the stock trike.

That agree that the YFM-200 look like they added the front end on a three-wheeler frame. The YFM-200 look like they put a 200cc engine in a YTM-225DR and the welded a new front end on.

But the YFM-225 frame is a lot different. But they all share similar parts.

I agree with Thefox, you will be better to find a three-wheeler.

I used to have one just like the one in the picture. It was an 84 with the racks and all. It was tough as nails.:naughty: :naughty: No suspension though. :lol: :Bounce

My buddy had one he sold about 2 months ago. I seen it many times. You wouldn't be gaining anything but as far as a conversion would go it would seem straight forward compared to other conversions. The on my buddy had was the 200 but it was shaft drive ith rear suspension.
