The Yamaha RX-100 is a motorcycle that is as iconic as it can get. It has a huge cult following that continues to grow even after the company stopped manufacturing the motorcycle. Before the RX-100, Yamaha had the RD350, also known as the ‘hooligan bike’ which was stupidly fast but also a fuel guzzler and had reliability issues. With the drop in sales for the two-stroke twin, Yamaha needed a bike that would offer similar thrills while being an easily manageable bike. The result was a motorcycle that quickly captured the market right after its official introduction in 1985, the RX-100.

The RX100 was powered by an air-cooled, 98cc, single-cylinder motor that produced 11PS @ 7500rpm. The company also claimed a 0-60kmph time of 7.5 seconds. Its impeccable reliability and the affordability factor made the Yamaha RX100 a no brainer for enthusiasts back then. In fact, it was one of India’s best-selling two-stroke machines until Yamaha replaced it with the RX-G.
