Built around Yamaha's enduro - offroad motorcycle platform, the 1979 Yamaha AG100 utilizes a 97 cc (5.9 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 18 HP (13.1 kW) while maximum torque reaches 6 Nm (4.4 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 185.6 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the AG100 measures 99 kg (218 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.18 HP/kg (5.5 kg per horsepower). The 11-liter (2.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 116 km/h (72 mph).
