This is a question that has possibly been answered before but can someone tell me in which countries the RX/RD series have been sold?
Where was it initially designed?

^^ its inherently a german design (DKW) ( the RD engine ), sold in US, UK, brazil, southeast asia.
the RX is a derivative of the RX King, primarily sold in south east asia, and south america.
Thats what i remember.

The RD was designed in Japan.. its earlier models YDS1 and R5 were said to be based on DKW designs.
The RX series is derived from the RS100 and early single cyl Yamahas like DTand IT.1985 Yamaha RD350 HT

The RD350 was derived from a German bike called the Adler MB 250...
It was a 2-stroke parallel twin .... no reed valvbes of course ...Last edited by sixspeedtwin; 12-01-2010, 11:30 PM.02 Qualis GS

Shogun Chassis
I saw KB100's brochure pics on Shogun (Thanks for those KB100 !)....and it says that Shogun's frame is special and that it has been derived from Suzuki's racing motorcycles....Also I have been told that Samurai & Shaolin too have been built on the same frame... How true is this? ....and btw is there any itty-bitty chance of getting a new Shogun frame ?

Shoguns frame was derived from the Team Tvs-Suzuki Supra motocross bikes .. the downtube is thicker and the welds are stronger.. otherwise the chassis is the same as AX100. A Samurai chassis can safely be used on a Shogun.Originally posted by Coolkar View Post1985 Yamaha RD350 HT

@ Yamdoot: Thanks for the reply brother.... And I can safely assume that the same frame goes for the Shaolin too...
@ KB100: Keep em' coming bro !! And I think you should post the Shogun article in this thread, which you had mailed me earlier. I enjoyed reading it.

After reading your post did some search on the internet. I was able to see RX100 parts catalog of Yamaha Motors, Mexico available. However, going through the Mexico Yamaha website (foreign language), was able to see the list of bikes currently in production. I did not see RX100 being among them. I assume that the production of RX100 stopped? I could be wrong!Originally posted by sixspeedtwin View Post
Going through the parts catalog, I see a lot of commonalities between Indian version, not sure of compatibility.
I wish if the parts are compatible, still available and all the more Mexico is our very neighbor.
