Technical Overview
2008 Tank Sports TKX-200 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Tank Sports's trial motorcycle platform, the 2008 Tank Sports TKX-200 relies on a 199 cc (12.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11 HP (8 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 55.3 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the TKX-200 measures 95.3 kg (210 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.66 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 838 mm (33 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,346 mm (53 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 3.78-liter (1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
