Yamaha YB100 was a 100cc, air-cooled, two-stroke commuter motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha Motor Company from 1975 to c.1981. It had a 4-speed gearbox utilizing an all-up configuration with a toe-heel shifter. The engine produced approximately 8hp with in a narrow RPM band. The bike was equipped with front and rear drum brakes. Electrics were 6 volt, and two-stroke oil is injected to cylinder through Auto-Lube. Top speed with a single rider was approximately 90kmh (56mph). Although good for city commuting, the bike lacked power and speed to keep up with motorway speeds.Yamaha YB100 was very closely related to the less common Yamaha DX100 with slightly different graphics and fuel tank shape. However, both are mechanically the same. Yamaha YB100 and DX100 was aimed against competitors such as Suzuki A100 and Suzuki A80.
This little Yamaha YB100 was purchased new by Mrs Elizabeth Ellison on the 8th March,1985 from JP Motorcycle Generation in Brownhills, Birmingham, for £481.72. The machine was used until 1998, at the point when Mrs Ellison became unable to ride the Yamaha anymore. It has been laid up until its recent discovery and will need full recommissioning before use. It comes to the sale complete with a current V5C, original bill of sale and the handbook.
