    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. No suspension though.

    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.
