1969 Yamaha 100 LT5 Trailmaster
Registration no. HUM 347G
Frame no. LT5-005527
Engine no. LT5-005527
The increasing popularity of off-road riding in North America throughout the 1960s meant that the major manufacturers had to have a trail-styled model in every capacity class, even down to 50cc 'tiddlers'. Yamaha first introduced the Trailmaster series in 1967 and a couple of years later added the LT5 to the range. Undeniably handsome, the LT5 was unusual in having a three-speed dual-range transmission: 'low' for off-road work and 'high' for use on the road, with maximum speeds of around 35mph and 65mph respectively. The 97cc air-cooled single-cylinder two-stroke engine developed 8bhp and was lubricated by Yamaha's Autolube pumped system. With a minimum ground clearance exceeding 8" and weighing only 198lb, the little LT5 was easy to handle and, courtesy of its dual range transmission, one of the more versatile machines in its class.
A model rarely seen in Europe, this LT5 was first registered in the UK in 2006. Restored in 2013, it was acquired by the vendor in 2014 (which is when it last ran) and since then has formed part of a well-known West Country motorcycle dealership's collection of 'display motorcycles'. This machine will require re-commissioning before further use. Currently showing 959 miles on the odometer (believed the distance travelled since restoration), this charming Yamaha trail bike is offered with a rider's manual, a service manual, a V5C document, and three keys.
