Yamaha was the defunct two-wheeler, which left the hearts of Indian riders badly hurt. Decades have passed since that iconic model was last seen.

Now, the all-new RX100 is here, promising more of the same. With a blend of retro charm and modern technology, this one has all the makings of a massive impact on the Indian motorcycle market.

Back to the Past, Leap in the Future

The new RX100 pays respects to the old one in many classic design elements, but under the skin, it is quite a different animal. The fully digital instrument cluster ought to equip the rider with all the information needed at a glance.

A powerful LED headlamp ensures excellent visibility even during low light hours. And when one wants to bring it to a halt, the RX100 boasts a powerful disc up front with superior stopping power.

Engine and Performance

The new RX100 is powered by an air-cooled, fuel-injected engine, boasting smoother and refined riding. The low-end torque on this unit is tremendous, excellent for inner city use.

Coupled with a feather-light chassis, the RX100 should see agile handling and accelerate quickly, but Yamaha has yet to officially release actual mileage figures; it’s hinted to be a spectacular increase over the previous generation.

Pricing and Availability

Even though the ex-showroom price of the all-new Yamaha RX100 hasn’t been released, industry sources feel that it will be priced a notch above its immediate rivals.

For the bike that boasts of heritage and the suspected spec-sheet, this price would not seem unjustified.Yamaha has always meant quality and performance, and the new RX100 is no different.

RX100 with its perfect blend of classic style in design and modern technology absolutely has a special place in the hearts of motorcycle enthusiasts.
