Yamaha RX 100 was a name so synonymous with two-wheeled freedom in India, that it stands in the heart of every motorcyclist.
This is the legendary machine that won over generations of hearts by the sound of its roar and sheer speed without much effort.
The original RX 100 has been discontinued, but there have been murmurs in the rumor mill that the original will make a comeback to once again enthrall enthusiasts with this legend.
Yamaha RX 100 Features
- Engine: While the initial RX 100 had a legendry 98cc, two-stroke motor, a present-day revival may include a far more modern, environmentally friendly unit. A possible one could be the single-cylinder air-cooled, four-stroke engine with a displacement of about 150 cc.
- Iconic Design: The new RX 100 would no doubt inherit all the design elements that had made the original one so iconic. Key elements such as sleek lines, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, and a minimalist approach in general should all be maintained.
- Modern Engine:Although an iconic two-stroke might be too big to be used due to emission issues, a modern fuel-efficient engine with an approximately similar power profile is to be used.
- Advanced Features:From the original’s analog gauges, a modern digital instrument cluster is to be used which will display basic information about speed, RPM, fuel level, and also trip meters in a lucid manner.
