Not to offend or have anything against ppl buying an old motorcycle; what would one like to do? Enjoy a smooth, hassle free ride on highways or spend greasy hands fixing things or ride to garage every now & then?

Its quite unfortunate that the Govt doesn't support 2S anymore in this country. So if one is looking to restore & ride it occasionally, its fine, but Rx is not to be used like it was used before for the parts & forth coming years. That's my opinion.

thats not the case at all,i use my RX as my daily ride its a Trouble free bike,never ever given any problem or gave up on me

it all comes to down to how you set up your bike & make it run right

Please stop giving RX "the vintage" Status,its very much alive & kicking

Well, it can run, run fine enough. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking something as perfect as a showroom vehicle. Get even a Libero today & you can find all the parts or even P150 UG1 & you can get all the parts to make it stock 2001 model.

Yeah, with all the con mechanics around & inflated spare parts right, how does one setup to make the bike running right?

Its not the status I award, the legend earns it self

Be it problemestic or not, if I were to pick a bike today, I'd definitely move-on with technology, I'd move with the currents ones available in the market today. I'll buy a 4 str(j)oke.

^+1.
After hearing/getting abused from kulla, I sold my Disco and got a 135. I use it 75kms*4days a week without any hiccups. As long as the bike is set right, am not finding any issues!

4ST are hassle free. Read, no oil mix, constant plug checking, parts hunting and all such sorts.
But Offlate have seen many threads in here,
Eg: FZ Mileage problem, Top end dropped coz of KN

(I know all these problems crop up coz of a shaggy work from a so-called-Tuner)

Having ridden my ReXy for almost a month, I may go the-kulla(arvind) way. Twin ReXy in the garage

Guys both of you are correct in your own ways. We really need to give the judgement based on who the user is. In this case, the guy already has an RD350 (Saw his other thread) & hence maintaining an RX100 should not be difficult for him. It all depends on experience.

And Ganesh, i have told you before, not all mechs are the same. Lets not argue on that anymore.

Another thing working against the 2-strokes may be the FE part, guys here in B'lore a liter of Petrol is now costing Rs.65/- for Shell Super. This is a practical view.

RX is not history nor vintage, IMO it is a Revolution, it was the one which started it all & even to date it holds that status. & for guys who don't appreciate this, my middle finger is up for the offering. Nothing can replace an RX, nothing.

@ Arvind, RX rocks maga, & it was born to kick a##.

ABSOLUTELY all spares for RX100 are available from the Yamaha factory shop at really decent rates including engine packing, wiring harness, NEW CHASSIS, fuel tank et al ...

I beg to differ sir .. RX has never given up on me ... I rode it back home 17 km after the Mumbai deluge (2 feet water) on 25/26 july 2005...

Pls also note that Yamaha India are STILL Manufacturing RX100 bikes for the EXPORT market... hence spares are available in abundance .... please contact your local Yamaha Factory shop and they will give u details

WTF WTH?

Which are those lucky export markets? This was really a breaking news of the year for me!

I'm aware of all the spares stuffs & how much one has to run around to get them, how much do they actually cost & at what ridiculous price people are selling them all over; had I not known all these, I wouldn't have hand built my entire Rx at home.

Anyway, I was speaking my mind with an intention that one should enjoy riding & not get ridden.

One MUST always keep moving & adapt to newer technologies as they evolve, be it business or in life. If not now, later at some point in time, things will become little harder & expensive to maintain older vehicles.

Bangladesh, atleast I know of

Running around to get them:

1 Step Solution : Yamaha Factory Shop in your city (or maybe only mumbai)

Ridiculous Prices

This is a concern if u are buying from a dealer .... from the factory shop, you pay the printed MRP get a bill AND get your money's worth ...

for eg.

OE Petrol Tank WITH paint Rs. 3000
OE unstamped Chassis RS. 3500
OE Pricol Speedometer Rs 400 approx
OE Engine packing Rs 150 odd
OE Side Panel Monograms Rs 20 Each
OE Entire Lock set with helmet lock approx Rs 800

Also these items are readily available (except for chassis) and u can buy them outright without a waiting period

I dont think these rates are a ripoff.

I can say this confidently coz I know the store manager personally and the factory shop is very close to my house in Mumbai.

**jd666** · 12-20-2010, 08:12 PM

^^ would there be somethings available for the later gen models ? RX135s? 5 speed bikes? ( not engine, but engine covers, headlights etc? )
