    This will be interesting.

    You did not put Gladiator Type SS. I feel that is one of the best bikes available EVER in that segment across the board!
    The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

      Best is a vague term. How does one compare products as diverse as RD, R-15 and Gladiator etc

        RD-350 any day for suicidal power and
        R15 any day for the heavenly handling and engine characteristics.

          Rx100 for one of the most amazing bike in 100cc segment
          RD350 well I dont think so any word can describe what a legend it is
          R15 would be the most advanced technology, with amazing specs

          One should have ridden these 3 machines to know what they are and also the above 2 bikes are a Legend in themselves, cant think of comparing it actually

            Why is Fz-16 missing in the list...i kno it lacks the top end torque that some of the bikes provide but keeping it totally out of the list is not fair...it deserves to be on the list....

              Its a tough call between RX100 and R15. Both the bikes 'were' and 'are' the best bet of their generation. But still the vote goes to R15.

                not fair to compare bikes of different segments
                How can you leave out RX 135 5 speed from that list

                  Uhh, don't boulder me, because I don't know, I think the first lot of RD had a couple of reliability issues...

                  Nevertheless, its the RD for the Monstrous power (No Indian bike manufacturer has developed anything close to it yet) And the R15 for the brilliantly sorted chassis (No Indian bike manufacturer has developed anything close to it yet ).

                    A little misleading title vis-a-vis the post.
                    The title says "Yamaha's best Indian production bike"
                    The post asks "Which according to you is the best bike that Yamaha has given us Indian bikers"

                    The best machine is not necessarily the best for "Indian bikers" as 99.9% will not be able to afford them. So something that cannot materialize into reality cannot cannot claim the crown as best for "Indian bikers".

                    So according to the title, the RD350. (Lets just say for argument's sake, a brand new RD350 or brand new R15 today. I would pick RD350 anyday)

                    And according to the post, I would say, it has to be RX100.

                      Let me get this in a likely manner....
                      Best Indian Production Bike by Yamaha in INDIA...
                      Giving the Fact that R1 and MT01 are not Produced in INDIA..We have the following options

                      Rx100
                      Rx135
                      RD350
                      Alba
                      Fazer(older)
                      Gladiator
                      Libero
                      Enticer
                      FZ
                      Fazer(new)
                      R15

                      I think i didnt miss anyother

                      In these options i would choose R15....

                        I value my life and limbs
                        so.. YZF R15

                        how can you control a motorcycle which does ~165kmph on drum brakes and that suspension? purists don't fume...
                        RD is/was a kick a$$ motorcycle and is acclaimed/lauded by journos and users alike even now

                        ^^the rantings made as i really had to think hard and then choose YZF R-15 over beloved RD

                        RX-100 is pretty close, have owned a couple, stays 3rd
                        FZ is 4th
                        Gladiator is likable too except for rear-sets

                          i would vote for the awesome RD for its neck breaking acceleration
                          and the R15 for its hi tech engine and refinement

                          as far as Rx 100 is concerned i liked the shogun better as i had both the bike's some point o time .

                            In my opinion, Yamaha has yet to produce the best bike in India. Though RD350 has great power, it lacks in handling department. R15 is an excellent package, but it lacks the brutal power.

                            A 250cc mill from Yamaha would take the 'best production bike slot' from Yamaha.
