Thread Approved

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!

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.
