The Yamaha DT100 isn’t just a
dual-purpose motorcycle.

reached that awkward age—
too big for a mini, yet not quite
ready for a full-size.
But while we did compro-
mise on the size, we didn’t com-

So it’s no wonder lots of
people who already have one
motorcycle in the family have
decided that the DT100 is a
perfect second bike.
After all, what’s better than
a second bike that can do a few
things most first bikes can’t?
