I cannot stop posting my favorite print ads of all time and the one below.

Such confidence, such statement shows how they believed in their product.

Now it's "Yes Yamaha" sort of a sissy phrase.

Back then it was "Some day you will own a Yamaha".

Don't miss the small texts on the right hand side. Specially the last line.
It takes some real guts to advertise like this, well of course when the product suits the ad.

Enjoy!

PS: If I owned a RD, I would have framed this right in my drawing room.

The second one (same bike) was clicked in early 1990's, you can see the yellow circled portion which is a home-made Resonator i made using an empty aluminum perfume can,drilled a hole fixed a rubber tube, drilled another hole on the in-let manifold and connected them and glued them with araldite.

BTW the kid (my cousin's son) sitting on my bike now completed his B-Tech !!

Awesome sir. But this RX doesn't seem to be in your list, i see only RD & P220 !!!!!

Go to know another gentleman in xbhp who did a B'lore to Goa on his RX100 with his wife !!!!! RX sure has some fan following even till date. Really awesome machines.

Sadly after a horrific accident in 1993 to my younger brother on my bike i parted with my RX. the bike is completely destroyed when he hit an electric pole at over 100 kph. it's with me for 6 most memorable years.
