Engineered by Ariel for the sport motorcycle segment, the 1967 Ariel Arrow 200 features a 198 cc (12.1 cu in) air-cooled twin, two-stroke configuration.
On the scales, the Arrow 200 measures 150 kg (331 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 762 mm (30 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,295 mm (51 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 9-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.94 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 306 km (190 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 132 km/h (82 mph).
