The Yamaha RX100 was an iconic and go-to bike for two-wheeler enthusiasts back in the 80s and early 90s. It not only set a benchmark for two-stroke motorcycles but also single-handedly changed people’s perspective towards motorcycling. 

Launched in November 1985, the Yamaha RX100 was manufactured in March 1996. The government’s decision to pull the plug on all two-stroke motorcycles ended the Yamaha RX100's reign in India. But the success story carries on even today. The RX100 was the result of Yamaha going back to the drawing board after the RD350 failed to light up the market as expected. But even Yamaha couldn’t have anticipated the outcome of their radical approach, making the Yamaha RX100 the legend it is today. The best example of this is that despite being discontinued over a quarter of a century ago, today’s enthusiasts are still willing to hand over hefty amounts of money to own a well-maintained RX100.
