The Honda Phantom TA150

is a single cylinder Thai-made "retro cruiser" motorcycle. It was known in Australia as the TA Shadow. Production of the TA200 was stopped in Thailand on 3 March 2010.

Overall design was very similar to the Honda TA150. The major differences was that the TA200 contains a four-stroke engine and higher 197 cc displacement.

This motorcycle was 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 200 cc.
