YAMAHA AG200 (1985-1986) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Yamaha AG200, like the AG100 model, was a motorcycle made for agriculture, military, humanitarian, and other professional rural uses. It was available only in select markets, including Australia, Africa, Latin America, and New Zealand.

The Yamaha AG200 came with several unusual utility and survivability components, such as two side stands on each side, front and rear cargo racks, an encased chain drive, sealed drum brakes, engine, handlebar, and chain crash bars, a clutch lock, and N-1-2-3-4-5 gear arrangement.

Visually, the AG200 was similar to the AG100 model, packing standard features, such as a round headlight, a high-mounted front fender, a single seat, and lightweight wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires.

The bike was built around a semi-double-cradle aluminum frame with a telescopic fork on the front and a Mono-Cross shock absorber on the rear, providing optimum handling capabilities.

The braking power was handled by a drum braking unit on the front and rear wheels, delivering optimum stopping performance.

In the performance department, the 1985 Yamaha AG200 had installed a 196cc two-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine underneath its fuel tank, delivering 16 hp with maximum strength at 7,000 rpm.

The power produced by the engine was transferred to a five-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch and sent to the rear wheels through a final chain drive.
