    ytm 200 and 225dx

    is the ytm200 faster than 225dx. i am wondering because the ytm200 is chain driven.

    My YTM200 is shaft driven and I can get approximately 50 MPH out of it.

    None of the Yam 225 3 wheelers were chain drive from factory.

    A Yam 200 can go faster than a 225. It all depends on modifications made to the machine AND how well you can hold on. The 200's didn't have rear suspension but the 225's did. lol

    I think 83 ytm200 was chain, 84+ were all shaft.
    In 84 they made an E, ER and Yamahauler
    I have an original brochure but I can't put my hands on it right now, this is just from memory which isn't the greatest.

    if the ytm200 is capable of 50mph the 225dx must be capable of more

    cool

    I sure wish I owned a 225dx. I would trade in my Yamaha Tri Moto 200 in any day. Can someone tell me how good is the suspension on those 225dx machines? Does it match up with the Honda 200x? Thanx
