Suzuki AX100
1983—

I have tried to tell the model history of the Suzuki AX 100 as I know it. I would be grateful of any contributions — sales brochures, magazine ads, magazine articles, pictures, specs, facts, corrections etc. Please scan the material in JPEG format (large enough that all the details are visible) and send them to me. Please tell me the source and the publication date if possible. If you send me pictures of your own bike, please follow these instructions.

Suzuki AX100 is a 2-stroke, simple commuting bike, launched in 1983. It has a 98 cc air-cooled 2-stroke engine with piston porting and a simple carburetor. It has a 4-speed transmission. A full chain guard and simple drum brakes keep maintenance tasks simple and parts inexpensive to buy. The Suzuki AX100 was the product of the alliance between the Suzuki Motor Company in Japan and the Indian manufacturer TVS, made purely for the Far Eastern commuter market. The model was marketed in China as Suzuki Samurai. There was also TVS-Suzuki Supra, a derivation of the AX100. In India, the AX100 was sold with a Ind-Suzuki badge on the tank. Various Chinese companies like Baccio, Jiancheng, Guerrero, Ayuco or Akt also copied the design and produced mechanical copies under various names such as Dayun. In the 1990's the AX100 gained a great momentum throughout the Asian region. It started as the first 100cc motorcycle launched in India, later it became the best selling model in China. Later, in 2000, Suzuki and TVS broke their previous agreements and the entire project passed into the hands of the Chinese manufacturer Jincheng. Some time later Jincheng would put a 125cc engine in the chassis to launch the AX125. In the mid-1990's, a production of the Suzuki AX100 was started in Columbia and the model was launched even in Central and South America. Soon the model was assembled even in Argentina and Brazil in order to be distributed to almost the entire region. While the model is still manufactured by Jincheng in China, the AX100 is still available in countries like Mexico, Argentina Brasil and Peur – with a Suzuki logo. It is very popular in Central America, especially in the Dominican Republic where it is Known as "El Busca Moro". The model has gone through various changes though the years, but it is basically the same simple bike that was launched in the 1980's. ”If it ain't broke, why fix it?” Later, a slightly larger version of the engine was mounted on the bike, it was marketed as Suzuki AX115. I have made aspearate model history of that bike, but I must admit that I have not found much information of it.
