The engine of the Yamaha RX100 produced a maximum of 11 BHP and 10.39 NM of torque, which were definitely the power values of a 125cc or 135cc machine. The weight of 95 kg made it more responsive and the bike successfully made a 0-400 meter run in 14 seconds.

Some people even say that the top speed of 100 kmph made some of the authorities worry that Yamaha has plonked a high displacement engine (more than 100cc) in the bike, which was then opened and tested, resulting in a 98cc engine. This would have been a really proud moment for an automaker and Yamaha continued its legacy from that day to the present.

Yamaha, one of the famous Japanese Trio gave its gem to the Indian market more than 3 decades ago. The RX-100 was the best a company could do with a small-sized engine and conservative styling. Built with a 98cc engine, the 2-stroke machine was a pocket rocket. With its lightweight body and high power output, the power-to-weight ratio of the bike made it the best 100cc bike ever built for mass production.

Rammy Wanderer, one of the aspiring YouTubers, recently posted a quick walkaround video of two Yamaha RX100 motorcycles on his YouTube channel and he has explained most of the details of these perfectly-restored models. He also took one of the RX100s for a quick test ride and he also made some points clear regarding the ownership of such retro motorcycles. Here is the complete video -
