At the heart of the 2000 Yamaha RS100 classic motorcycle, Yamaha pairs a 97 cc (5.9 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11 HP (8 kW) at 8,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 113.4 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
The 10-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
