*YAMAHA YB100 – FULL SPEC BELOW*
This is what we have all been waiting for - a 30,000 mile review of the YB100. After searching for any kind of review I decided to do my own!!
Every time I have tried to look on line for a “Review” of the YB100, on YouTube all I can see are “For Sale” ads and some crazy racing type videos from India where the YB is still very popular.
In production for many years, a main prong of its popularity is the quality of build and the “bomb proof” engine.
Admittedly, when I decided to do this video, it was going to be a bit of a “spoof” on the big bike reviews, but nevertheless, at least now, there is some sound information about the YB100 in usage and performance.
First registered in 1988, when I bought the bike it had 19k miles on the clock and now it has nearly 31,000. I have _never_ seen a 30,000 mile review of a motorcycle before, let alone a 100cc 2-stroke so that should be something pretty unique to start with!!
I mostly ride this bike with the _Wiltshire Whizzers_ (see on Facebook) – a group of guys from the NACC / EACC who enjoy riding small engine bikes and here I must say a huge _thank you_ to my two great mates, *Steve Hoffmann* and *Geoff Brooks* without whose technical prowess, this little bike would have been unrideable - they've got me out of a few holes it has to be said!!
Guys, please, if you think this video deserves a thumbs up, please give it one and *SUBSCRIBE* to my channel. SUBSCRIBING costs not one penny and you will get to hear about other videos I have published.
