The Suzuki ACC 100 is a rare model of the A series of commuter motorcycles manufactured by this Japanese company in the late 1960s and 1970s. As the name suggests, this motorcycle was an offshoot of the popular A 100 model. , which was selling well in the world market. Passengers liked the A 100 for its simplicity, ease of operation, and little thirst for gasoline. With the ACC 100, they also got a little more power.

Both motorcycles shared the same 98cc engine, a tried and tested single-cylinder two-stroke engine. Suzuki retained its automatic oil pump CCI system for lubrication, a welcome feature on an early 1970s Japanese motorcycle. The Suzuki A 100’s rotary valve engine produced around 9.3 hp at 7,500 rpm. On a long stretch of road, you could take the bike up to 100 km/h. In the ACC 100, Suzuki engineers modified the engine to make 10 hp at 8,000 rpm. Since the bike’s curb weight stayed the same at 83kg, the ACC 100 was able to cross the ton mark, reporting top speeds of 110mph. For a factory-spec 100cc Japanese motorcycle from the 1970s, this was pretty good performance!

There were some other structural modifications. The Suzuki ACC 100 gets a new sweep exhaust, along with unique tank designs and body color schemes. The gas capacity remained at 7 liters, which made the Suzuki ACC 100 a good city or town bike with very short legs. The A 100 had 2.50 x 18 tires on both wheels, which were sufficient for basic street driving. In the ACC 100, Suzuki kept the same front tire but introduced a wider 2.75 x 18 rubber for the rear wheel. This gave the more powerful bike better traction. Strangely, the ACC 100 did not come with dual disc brakes as standard from the factory. As on the A 100, the double-drum brakes tried their best. Most owners added at least one front disc for a safer driving experience.

Made only between 1970 and 1972, the Suzuki ACC 100 is a rather rare classic Japanese motorcycle. There are few surviving bikes and even fewer in riding condition. However, collector demand keeps prices respectable, especially if the bike has been well treated. Like other Suzuki A models, good quality parts are still available, many of which are interchangeable. With the right kit, a restored Suzuki ACC 100 can still turn heads with its ’70s styling and amazing performance.
