Very True..Thats why I still keep resurrecting my KB and using it...Many fellow bikers look at the bike and ask me how i managed to keep it so well....and also the observation .." it is a Good bike "...Since I am in the running in period ,still driving it below 4 K rpm.....but it is settling down beautifully.Originally posted by kb100 View PostHeart ache ,heart break ,heart burn, heart attack.....the list is endless as to what will happen to you when a ressurection goes wrong psr sir
Since you are convinced that you can get it done my advice to you to go ahead with it no matter what .the spares for these bikes will be difficult to get ,but then compared to the joy and pride in owning and riding such an unique piece will ,it will be a small price to pay.
If you have set your heart on it then dont go for anything else for it will always remain as compromise no matter how good it is.

Ramesh the RXG135 is a street scorcher..better than RX100...but poor mileage. The 135 was the last to be introduced,and it has Cat in its exhaust.Originally posted by rameshmadhavan View Post
If you want performance and casual cruising go for the RX 135....if it is only city commuting..RX 100 will do..though it does well on the highway too. A word of caution...a good RX will pump power unlike any other bike.Be careful of how you twist your right wrist...

No on the RX100..used to mod and race in the local ciruit in the 80s.Used to take a friend's RX change the crank,con rod,forged piston,and mate a power jet mikuni to it.But never could get the carb to run correctly at the top end..it always ran rich ,and so the throttle had to be feathered to get optimum performance.....finally ran out of Vitamin "M" and stopped .....sadly also lost a friend to a crash in the city roads...so stopped mods on any bikes.Originally posted by kb100 View Post
