Also with roads speeds getting lower and fuel getting pricier there's a lot of adventure to be had on a tiddler.

Lovely to see this Yamaha resurrected.

Itsme you are probably right the YB100 is good for 80+Mpg and 55Mph is plenty fast enough for most B and C roads, it would do quite nicely around this area

Post by: CrazyFrog on April 06, 2022, 06:00:12 AM: Yeah, really good little bikes. I've never had a YB, but I ran a similar RXS100 for a couple of years, about 10 years ago. It was brilliant - just like being 18 again, and surprised me how quick it was for a 100.

Post by: iansoady on November 06, 2022, 04:13:59 PM: I've found that lightweights cost nearly as much to restore as bigger bikes but don't fetch as much when you come to flog 'em......

Post by: JOOLZ on November 07, 2022, 07:54:40 PM: Its cost me around £200 but the paint and nuts and bolts were old stock from my shed
