        Learned biking with this machine.. had a very short love-affair for an year with it. Sold her for a new TVS Victor then.. 5 years ago..[ both Sachin effect & milege factor..].. im still looking for a nice piece to start my new affair..

        But, i have no regrets.... im happy with my first love always.. i know she will be there with me forever.. My Lady, my RD350

          Gotta mention the quintessential addition of the Yezdi wheel and tyre which was such a fad back in the day

          @spat: Man are you up late or what?
          Manali-Leh ... wow that must have been one memorable trip on a RX100 ... I've never been there but seen some beautiful pics.

          Yeah was up late working ... but hard to stay away from xBhp

                My First bike was RX100 model 1994 same whine red colour.used for 5 years till the accident I had.
                haha! my first wheelie unintentionally was on a lambretta scootter!
                This link has quite an info about 2 Stroke Direct Injection Engine, including lubrication, scavenging avoidance, etc ...:-->

                Two-stroke engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (See Point 4 on this page- Direct Injection)

                This link has more detailed info about Orbital's DI Projects & their acceptance:-

                Why 2-Stroke Direct Injection is a Big Deal

                However, I think Bajaj did try a 2 Stroke bike, but RTC were not willing to register it in few states, as they thought that all 2 strokes don't comply with anti pollution norms :-->
                Rediff On The Net Business Interview / Rajiv Bajaj, vice-president, Bajaj Auto (Link of 2000, but yes the statement about 2 strokes is clear & relevant)


                Finally, I know I'm making some blind minded wishes, but if 2 Strokes come back anyhow, I'll be happy about everything I did here ... Amen!

                  Its not History.....

                  RX 100 is not history its a Legend. Period.

                    -the history of the RX 100 can be traced from the RX-king series of motorcycles sold in south east asia.

                    - RD does not stand for race derived, it merely stands for Road, in yamaha nomenclature, like XD was for off road.

                    - The RX135 was not a rebadged RXG, the RXG had a smaller exhaust port for better emission control, and it strangled the performance of the bike severely. The RX135 was a better breathing machine, hence more powerful also.

                    - The indian RXZ also was based on the RX-King design, having no engineering similarity with the foreign RXZs.

                    If anyone is searching for good condition re built/ restored RX100s, i have about 3-4 machines available. You can either buy them as is where is, and rebuild them. Or you can pick from the ones which have been rebuilt ( two of them, both having sleeved blocks)New blocks/crank/ parts etc are available, and bikes can be rebuilt to your requirements.

                    - KTM Duke 200
                    - Yamaha RXZ 5 speed

                      Wow JD, I think I need to collect my money and come to you bro...as I would be needing some really serious originals for my bike soon

                            I am still hunting for the first RX 100's advertise that i use to watch when i was a kid. The girl races with her car against RX 100 and in the end the RX 100 jumps above the car... I miss those days
