        Awesome! Hey was your RX that turquoisish blue metallic colour? If it was it is super-rare. I've hardly seen any of those around. Even the silver ones are hard to come by. And another thing, did your RX come with an extended carrier? like shown in the pic?

          For the first time I've subscribed to a thread. This is just what I wanted to forget by re-build pains.

          RX100 beat Yezdi 250? Both in stock trims?

          I am waiting for more and glued to this thread.

              .
              Why is that surprising?

              Consider this:

              RX100 11bhp/103 kgs/Peaks at approx 7000 rpm

              Yezdi 13bhp/141 kg/peaks at approx 5500 rpm.

              Besides, the rx has a reed valve induction, 7 ports and scheurnle scavenging.

              yezdi has no reed valve 6 port engine and has an inverse scavenging

              It's not just cc, my friend ..

                That's why you are amoung 20 Finalist!!!

                Frank the great!!
                at last the wait is over, hmm!! waiting for the entire story....the preservation of those documents....says how passionate biker Frank is...
                Me, feel proud to be associated with Frank at least at "xbhp"
                Come on brother..my salivation is not yet over..just gulped few droplets..keep em coming

                ps: My humble request, shall we listen & share some thing about RX 100 alone in this thread.....let us not compare RX with other bikes of that period!!
                If this happens , than this will go never ending...there is a chance of misunderstanding & hot feelings!!
                more over the author's presentation will lack pep!!

                THIS is my suggestion, that's all..No compulsion ( no debate for this please)

                  Loving it! The 2Ts, the smoke left behind, in a circular pattern, just in a pattern when a chopper passes through a cloud of smoke..

                  Wow! Gonna give my babe a nice ride tonight! Yeah!

                      Yes, its turquoisish blue metallic and it did come with an extended carrier but i cut it down on the same day of delivery don't remember exactly why i did it, but i regret it now.

                      Well said bro, lets keep this thread entirely for a very special RX-100 which took lots & lots of passion from its rider
                      THIS is my suggestion, that's all..No compulsion ( no debate for this please)
                      Yes Bro, Not only Passionate I am very sentimental about my RX. And this thread will sure satisfy your salivation. The first hand information of a 24 year old very special RX-100. feel free to ask me anything.

                      Request: can some one please send me a Watermark software exe file? (send it through my email)

                          Really happy to see your RX100 thread. 1st time I'm bumping into somebody who has a '87 model RX here. I too own a '87 model RX. In stock condition with the Japanese goodies inside. Only mod is the I changed the crash guard to the bar type and repainted it to Sliver (originally Red). Which month did you get yours delivered? Mine is 25th March. I bought it from my Uncle 10yrs back. Except for the RC book, I do not have the pamphlet or bill with me. Really nice to see you have saved all of it.
