    Longest i have done on a RX100 was Chennai - Pondicherry - Chennai - a few years ago - totaling over 300 kilometers

    Had a lot of breaks - average speed was around 80 KMPH

    Problems - Oil Leak / Engine Over heat

    It was strange when smoke started coming out of the engine - and it was raining harsh that time..

    Average mileage around 30 KMPL

          All of your trips must've been sweet!!!I mean going on open roads having a 2 stroke do what it was built to do....It all sounds so perfect at WOT.
          Drink wet cement and ride hard.....your bones won't break when you're stoned!!!

                  onCouple of weeks ago did a Chennai-Pondicherry-Chennai trip of about 330-340 kms in one day with a pillion on my RX135, 4-speed, cat con. Left early morning, the day was cloudy and quite humid. Mostly maintained speeds of 80 km/hr. But after leaving Pondy, had speeds of 100-110 for more than 80 kms!

                  Was pretty scared if something will happen to the engine! Had done a piston change last year...oil pump had conked up then!

                  Bike gave a mileage of 31 kmpl...sadly it has decreased from the 40s it was previously giving with stock piston... The oil setting has been increased...and the bike's drinking a lot of oil! I guess that saved the engine from overheating, absolutely no problems on the ride!

                  Planning to go to B'lore on 1st june...modify the bike there...and then to Kozhikode! So will total about 800 kms!

                  Wish me luck!
                  Cheers!

                      Did many times Agra - Delhi - Agra around 400kms single day trip while doing my graduation and also Did Agra - Lucknow once around 370kms took around 7 hrs with several stops and few small glitches.... my RX never complained she is my sweetheart....

                      Lately my RX did 100000kms on her ODO, so as to pay her tribute went for a Delhi-Agra-Delhi trip on 12th April.... with some fellow bikers and she was smiling all broad even after coming back... now she is closing another 1000kms on her ODO

                      UPDATE - Did Delhi - Lucknow more than couple of times in last 3yrs i.e. 590kms (NH2), also did Delhi - Tarkeshwar - Delhi on 1st Jan, 2010 approx. 600kms

                            My experience on my RX-135

                            Am a proud owner of Yamaha RX-135 2000 model, have clocked close to about 80,000 kms till date... Had done hell number of long drives and people used to get shocked at my ventures on a 2 stroke... Since i used to start my drives early in the morning, there wasn't much of a problem when it was not so hot... As the temperature increases, it'd be slightly difficult to drive, and the vibrations also were slightly more compared to 4 strokes, hence it was a bit strainous, nevertheless, the sweet sound of engine would make me go crazy ...

                            Here goes my list of long drives on my RX-135... In all the following rides, i sat either as rider / pillion only on my RX and not on any other machines

                            Pre-digital camera period (Managed with a kodak film camera)

                            1. Bangalore - Hyderabad. {This was my first long drive and was really crazy to do about 600+ kms drive in the last week of April 2005. One bike, 2 guys, shared the ride all the way. It was the itch that we'd decided to do it at any cost and we did it successfully , left at 5 AM from Bangalore, reached Hyd at 6:30 PM, had boils on my a** due to heat and wasn't even able to sit for 2-3 days }
                            2. Bangalore - Hassan - Shiradi - Dharmasthala - Charmudi - Mudigere - Hassan - Bangalore (Done during June 2005 with same friend who made it to Hyd, just when monsoon had just started and should say it was an amazing experience to drive in rain. Shirad ghats was just too good when we made this trip... Inspite of rain, i was able to maintain good speeds throughout the journey. In all about 700 kms of pure fun in 2 days).
                            3. Bangalore - Shivanasamudram - Kollegal - BR Hills - K.Gudi - Chamrajanagar - Mysore - Bangalore. (Done during July 2005 with the same guy, it was an amazing drive through the jungles. About 500 kms in 2 days. Since Veerappan used to rule during that time, we were hell scared if we encounter him and had our own plans how to combat with him if at all he comes across ).
                            4. Bangalore - Shimoga - Sagara - Jog Falls - Honnavara - Gokarna - Sirsi - Unchalli Falls - Sagara - Shimoga - Bangalore. (Done during Aug 15th weekend of 2005. 3 guys, 2 bikes, 1 RX 135, 1 Splendor + , covering about 1200+ kms in 3 days... Since it was during mid-monsoon, it was raining all the while, sheer fun to drive in the ghats... The stretch of about 70 kms between Jog Falls to Honnavar is the most scenic route i've travelled on bike till date

                            Post-digital Camera Period. {Got myself Canon Powershot S1 IS from my onsite trip }

                            5. Bangalore - Hassan - Dharmasthala - Charmudi - Kalasa - Hornadu - Kudremukh - Sringeri - Chickmagalur - Hassan - Bangalore (Done with my younger bro during Dec 2005, about 1200+ kms done in 4 days, with almost 2 full days in the midst of Chickmagalur / Shimoga districts, with full of tea / coffee estates, ghat section etc...)
                            6. Bangalore - Sirsi - Yana - Ankola (Lost way and reached Ankola instead of reaching Kumta), Kundapur, Murudeshwar, Marvanthe - Udupi - Mangalore - Sakleshpura - Bangalore (Done during Jan 26th 2006 long weekend. 6 guys, 3 bikes, my RX, Splendor +, TVS Centra . Should say, the route was almost a right-angled triangle, about 1400 kms covered in 4 days... This ride was a blend of ghats, mountains, off-roading, western express highway, beach & what not . The pic of my RX shot at Marvanthe Beach is one of my fav pics of my bike till date )
                            7. Bangalore - Mysore - BR Hills - K.Gudi - Chamrajanagara - Gundulpet - Gopalswamy Betta - Nanjangud - Mysore - Bangalore. { Done during June 2006, 4 guyz, 2 bikes, my RX, P-150 DTSi-Ver 2... Since the monsoon had started, it was greenery all around and it was just too good to drive on the empty stretches in the jungle }

                            Met with a terrible accident during Aug 2006, wasn't allowed to even touch the bike for next 3 months... Took off from long drives for a good period to start it again during Oct 2008 (After almost 2 long years ), but this time to attend 'Mysore Dasara'.

                            8. Bangalore - Mysore - Nanjangud - Gopalswamy Betta - Mysore - Bangalore... {It was a super-fast trip and my first solo trip (was always accompanied by a pillion in all my earlier drives). I could feel the symptoms of my accident during the trip and i strongly felt that i can't do anymore trips on my RX as my body wasn't able to sustain it... Time for an upgrade and also do only solo drives, bought myself a Honda Unicorn GP Edition, and have started my long drives again }

                            P.S: My bro's using my RX , come what may, i wouldn't ever sell it

                                Longest ride for me was on my RX 135 which I bought from a friend in Hyderabad, and rode it down to Bangalore a total of about 650 kilometers done in 10 hours flat, with only fuel breaks. Nothing else.

                                Non stop ride. No reliability issues, the bike was still going as strong as ever.
