    Yamaha Motor Private Limited has refused to re-launch its old model Yamaha RX 100 in India. The company was already planning to re-introduce its famed RX100 model. Yamaha Motor will carry the same design of the earlier bike, which produced effective results from 1985 till 1996.

    Some news agencies reported that the Japanese bike maker is presently looking for different possibility including engine type, style and other factors before launching it. The company said that they will not introduce it as two-stroke model. Yamaha RX100 will support the stricter emission norms might be BS-IV and also include four-stroke engine. However, Pankaj Dubey, national business head, India Yamaha Motor Private Limited told reporters, "There are no intends on re-launching of RX100. We are keeping eyes in the market of entry level segment bikes". The company can't introduce the RX 100 with a two-stroke engine and we are working on a four-stroke for the bike, he also added.

    Yamaha RX 100 is equipped with a 98cc two-stroke single cylinder air-cooled motorcycle, which was unveiled by Yamaha 11 years ago in partnership with Escorts Limited. It is coming in original Cherry-red, Flamboyant-Blue, Silver and Black colours. The only major change that the bike underwent that it has been modified from a 6V electrical system to a 12V system. The first lot of Yamaha RX 100 bikes are CKD's and simply assembled in India.

      RX100 The Dream Bike Of India
      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.

      RX 100 A Living Legend
      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.

      My personal Experience With the bike
      From last eight Years I am using this bike. The most likely thing is love in it is the sound which is old as gold till date. The look and the classy in it Is simply wow. Even though it gives a mileage of less also it is worth to have this bike. Most of the people in my locality are still a big fan of it.

    IT IS UTTER NON-SENSE OF THE MANAGEMENT OF YAMAHA THAT THEY DON'T CREATE THE RX135 IN FOUR STROKE! LET THESE FOOLISHNESS BE THE PROFIT MAKING OF ITS COMPETITORS! WE SINCERELY LOOK FORWARD TO A NEW FOUR STROKED IN THE SAME STYLE OF RX100/RX135 OR ANY HIGHER VERSION BUT WITHOUT CHANING THE MODEL IN LOOK AND STRENGTH. I WANT YAMAHA MOST POWERFUL BECAUSE I KNOW THE POWER WHILE DRIVING IT. I MUST CONGRATULATE THE OLD MANAGEMENT FOR GIVING US YAMAHA RX135 AND OTHER 2 STROKE BIKES IN GREAT STYLE AND POWER! TRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR..............TRRRRRRRRRR.
