This may be one of the reason why we lost the yamaha's two stroke legends (RD&RX) in our country.Originally posted by yamdoot View PostThe Fugly looking concept 4-joke Escorts was planning in the mid 90's. Based on the RX100.
Escort always want to boast their name
resulting Rajdoot markings on RD350 making true RD to extinct very soon.
Marking a Escort emblem on RX100 and realised the consequences and again turned back to Yamaha.
Even see on this 4 jokes they embossed The Rajdoot Symbol R on engine case and Escort E on the fuel tank.
For mid 90's (may be around 95-96) if they have released this bike it must be the first bike introduced with Dual cradle perimeter frame type chasis in india
before LML Energy,adreno,graptor,kinetic commet etc came out..
If it was rolled out as yamaha on its own form it might have succeeded among the only active competitor 4 joke
HH CD100 and CD100ss (apart from bajaj 4s)
AFAIK apart from india all had their Yamaha only as Yamaha.Last edited by vijaymeyou; 10-01-2011, 03:42 AM.Comment

The Link?
Great efforts there..
Cherishing memories and keeping old stuff is altogether a different stuff(although relates to the same).
I wonder the pain you guys must have taken in preserving them.
Helmets off to you guys!
Also,
Is the new thread regarding the old pictures of RDs and RXs ready?
If yes,
Can anybody give the link?Money can get a 1942 BSA these days, but even Warren Buffet's whole Bank account can't get us our leg back!

I wonder why automobile tech., attracts Docs and Engineers so much ?
Guess it must be the restless quest for more knowledge,in different fields.

In 2003 I was in my first year of graduation, I don't remember seeing any Rajdoots in showroom, YAMAHA India already started manufacturing four strokes like YBX and libero. Why would anyone buy Rajdoot, when CBZ have already set the trend for modern bikes. As a kid I always had a liking for this bike after Jawas and Bullets.Comment

All the Rajdoot two strokes had a typical pitter patter sound, and even the RD350LT which was manufactured in India had this typical sound. The HT s assembled in India had the unique rd growl.Comment

RX-100 easily used to cross 100 kmph and reach 110 kmph. Nobody should have doubt on that. Maybe i could have tried more but for the drum brakes and those days when i was in college in Hassan, we did not have roads like double road highways nearby to test it. I do remember covering 200 kms from Hassan to bangalore in 2 and half hours when i 1st came to bangalore.Originally posted by jd666 View Post
Few of my friends did install imported discs on RX 100 that time.Last edited by shamanthnv; 12-03-2011, 01:57 AM.---------------------

In 2001 Yamaha and Escorts group had parted ways ... Also, Rajdoot had a bigger market in west and north india (just as TVS-suzuki has in south India)Originally posted by Ri$hi View Post
I have seen the Rajdoots sold till 2002 in rural parts of India ... a very well known dealer gave me this information about the availability of the Rajdoots till 2003.02 Qualis GS
