Yamaha RX100 - The Old Speed Master

-
Yamaha RX100 was a 2 stroke motorcycle from Yamaha with a top speed of 100 kmph with a 4 speed gearbox and a fuel economy of 25-35 kilometers/litre. This speed monster was released in India after Escort, Royal Enfield and Jawa (also known as Yezdi) came into picture with their own bikes. Yamaha partnered with a foreign company Escorts to release Yamaha RX 100 with 11 bhp. This bike had the best pickup and speed in the 1980s. Just literally unmatched for its agility, light weight structure and speed even today.

The only bike in the 1980s which could beat the speed monster was the Kawasaki KB100 RTZ. And also the Suzuki shogun 110cc. RX100 began losing its count in India due to new emission norms posed by the Govenment. The RX 100, Kawasaki 100 and the Suzuki Shogun - 2 stroke bikes were banned.

i agree with vipin but i have seen th kb 100 rtz beat the rx 100 by about 5 metres and the bike top speed was 110 (as told by the rider)..... it ws a close match on th partially crowded road which was 4km long.
i like the kb 100 better thats y i use it. it has better handling also. and is easy to do wheelies.

Expensive and Worthless!! What do you say?

Porsche Cayenne GTS is worth 1.3 crores and has a mileage of 5 kmpl. Audi 2.0 TDI is 44 lacs and has a mileage of about 10 kmpl. Skoda Rapid is about 9.5 lacs and gives a mileage of 10 kmpl. Audi 3.0 TDI is about 48 lacs and gives a mileage of 7.5 kmpl. Are these cars worth the bucks? Maybe, if the purpose is just to show off.

402 kms and still going

There was an issue with the gearbox cover as it had no screw in it. I was wondering how TVS could ever sell a product to the customer without testing and verfication of the all possible defects and missing parts in the bike. ???? Had gone to the showroom to replace the screw and boom! I found a furious customer shooting flame balls at a TVS representative on the mileage that his Black Apache provided. He was crying over a pathetic figure of 30 or less. Neverthless out here with me the breeze is cool and plausible. 400 km and still going like a gun. No worries, no tension. After all, in my opinion, no matter what be the vehicle, It all depend upon how you ride it. Proper usage of the clutch, right gear at the right speed and engine rpm etc. are all such examples. Apart from that a defect in the product is not your problem. You can always go and claim or even sue the manufacturer. So no worries and happy riding.
