YAMAHA AG100 (2003-2004) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Yamaha AG100 was a motorcycle released in 1973 for humanitarian, agriculture, aid, and other rural professional uses. The bike was only offered in select regions, such as Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, and Africa.

The bike was equipped with several features designed for hard rural use, including an enclosed O-ring chain drive, a kick start, a kickstand on both sides, an auto lube system, and it was a very easy-to-maintain motorcycle.

Starting in 2015, the NGO Riders for Health kept over 1,400 motorcycles in seven African countries, especially AG100 models, due to their durability, easy maintenance, and small size suited to female health workers.

In 2003, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha AG100, a simple yet popular motorcycle known for its rural capabilities. Over the years, the bike was improved to be more helpful for men who live on rugged farms in New Zealand and Australia.

In the visual department, the bike was pretty simple, packing standard features, such as a small round headlight up front, a high-mounted front fender, a one-piece dual seat, a medium luggage rack, two side stands on right and left, and lightweight wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires.

As for performance, the 2003 Yamaha AG100 had installed a 97cc two-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine underneath its fuel tank, delivering 9 hp at 6,000 rpm and 9 Nm (7 Lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
