The Honda Phantom TA200 is a single cylinder Thai-made “chopper” motorcycle. It is known in Australia as the TA Shadow.

Overall design is very similar to the Honda TA150. The major differences are that the TA200 contains a 4 stroke engine and higher engine displacement.

This motorcycle is very popular in Singapore due to it being one of the few cruisers available for a class 2B license (the most basic motorcycle license in Singapore). Class 2B license holders are only allowed to ride motorcycles with displacement below 200cc, and the Phantom TA 200 fits in nicely with a 197cc engine.

If purchased new Honda has a 3 year protection guarantee

Single Cylinder 197cc 6 speed gearbox
