EXCLUSIVE: A Bigger Yamaha RX100 In The Pipeline
The iconic ‘RX’ moniker with a bigger engine sounds….exciting!
Yamaha has produced stellar motorcycles for years. Amongst which the RX100 certainly has been one of the most captivating bikes for Indian audiences. It was the people’s champion when it comes to 2-stroke pocket rockets. The legendary motorcycle is all set to make a comeback, something that Yamaha India’s chairman Eishin Chihana confirmed a couple of months ago.
Talking more about it in an exclusive interview with us, he further touched down on the topic, revealing that they intend to introduce the ‘RX’ name with a ‘bigger’ internal combustion engine. That might just be the way to reincarnate the original flavour in a modern package. For perspective, the ‘OG’ RX100 sported a 98.2cc engine that made 11PS and 10.39Nm, and not to forget it was light and fast.

Out of the brand’s current lineup for India, we feel that the R15 V4’s iconic liquid-cooled 155cc engine would be the most appropriate motor to carry forward the RX100’s iconic legacy. The 149cc and 249cc FZ motors are fairly commuter-oriented and not as heart-throbbing to bear the RX name, something that Yamaha India was rudely made aware of after the Saluto RX debacle.
With its launch slated to take place sometime after 2026, the world could very well have moved onto electric bikes and scooters by then. So if Yamaha wants to make an impact with it, a performance-packed, bigger RX100 is the way to go.

I'm very excited to have this bike in 2026 or in future because this is my dream bike, the looks, comfort and specially the sound and speed of this bike is mind-blowing. when this bike runs on the road people turn there heads to see and when the DB killer removed from the silencer then it will become monster, then it's provide more sound more speed. so RX100 lovers are waiting for this big blast.Read More
This was not just a bike it has its own character. The reason behind selecting this bike is the power of 2 stroke engine and its sound. It has an old school look which looks cool and because of its low weight it is easy to handle. This bike is made for city ride only because it has 2 stroke engine so it has some heating issue and we can't drive at higher rpms for long time. But at low rpm it sounds like heaven and the sound has its own identity. This bike is 100% recommended but it is not in production so if you get it in second hand market then just grab it because the price of it will definitely increase in upcoming days. It is difficult to find one but once you get one it is going to be crazy.Read More
