It dates back to the beginnings of the race when the 'north west 200' was indeed a race roughly 200 miles long. Now however the race consists of only several shorter courses, about 9 miles long each. It's a misconception that the 200 refers to the speeds attained by the bikes as in recent years they've reached above 200 Mph.
