The Suzuki T200, also known as the Suzuki Invader and the X5 in the US is a 196 cc (12.0 cu in), two-stroke, twin-cylinder motorcycle produced by the Japanese Suzuki company between 1967 and 1971. The model was a scaled down version of the Suzuki T20.[7]
Technical details
[edit]Engine and transmission
[edit]The T200's engine was a scaled down version of the T20's unit.[2] The 180° piston ported two stroke twin was of unit construction and had alloy head and alloy barrels with cast iron liners. The T200's bore and stroke were 50 mm × 50 mm (2.0 in × 2.0 in) giving a displacement of 196 cc (12.0 cu in). The engine had a compression of 7:1. Claimed power output was 23 bhp (17 kW) @ 7,500 rpm, giving the machine a top speed of 85 mph (137 km/h).[1]
Fuel was delivered by twin 22 mm Mikuni carburettors.[6] The engine was lubricated by an improved version of the Suzuki Posi Force system which injected oil to the main bearings, conrod journals and cylinder bores.[1]
Primary drive was by helical gears to a multi-plate wet clutch and five speed gearbox. Chain drive took power to the rear wheel.[1]
Cycle parts
[edit]The duplex cradle frame was based on that of the T20 but was stiffer, leading to better handling.[2] Rear suspension was by swinging arm with twin shock absorbers. At the front telescopic forks were used. Brakes were drums front and rear, the front being an effective 2ls item.[1]
TC200
[edit]Suzuki also produced a 'Street Scramber' version of the bike, the TC200 Stingray. The machine had high level exhausts, one each side of the bike.[8]
