Yamaha's off-road family continues to produce more offspring. In 1999, Yamaha introduced the all-new electric-start four-stroke TT-R225 and TT-R250. For 2000, Yamaha introduces three all-new motorcycles, the TT-R90, TT-R125 and TT-R125L.

The 2000 line of Yamaha off-road bikes, eight models total, has machines not only for the adults, but beginners and kids' bikes, as well.

The RT100's low seat height and light weight provide the mid-sized, intermediate/ beginner rider with a well-balanced, confidence-inspiring ride. This bike combines the smooth ride of a refined 97cc two-stroke engine, with "big bike" features, like a versatile five-speed transmission and a manual clutch for the more experienced off-road rider.

The mid-size RT100 utilizes 18 inch front and 16 inch rear wheels with aggressive knobby tires for off-road traction, and durable front and rear drum brakes. The RT100 also features proven front forks and preload-adjustable twin rear shocks, for a smooth ride; a maintenance-free electronic CDI ignition; a quiet USFS-approved spark arrestor and Yamaha's Autolube Oil Injection system.

The 2000 RT100 color scheme replicates Team Yamaha's blue and white factory works graphics and is available for a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $2,049.
