Can Yamaha bring back the old RX 100 bike?
Hearing the name Yamaha RX100 bike will light a bulb in many people’s eyes. To that extent this bike has a fan base. Even now, with the status of a retro bike, many people are buying it second-hand and even third-hand. The production of this bike was stopped in 1996. Even now we can buy this bike. But now you have to pay a little extra. In any case, people who would buy this bike even if they paid a high price, still do it.
It has been rumored for years that Yamaha is making a bike similar to the old RX 100. Yamaha company has responded from time to time saying that it is true. Can Yamaha really bring back the old RX 100 bike?
Yamaha may launch a new bike named RX 100 bike . The company will even recreate the same design. But the question on every bike enthusiast’s mind is whether the new bike can match the performance of that bike. Yamaha is still looking for an answer to this.
Yes, the reality is that it would be difficult to replicate the same performance even if Yamaha thought of it. The RX 100 bike’s character is its unrelenting aggressiveness upon twisting and its distinctive exhaust note. It was typical of two stroke engines of the time. It’s very difficult to get that character in a four-stroke engine these days.
Also, although Yamaha says that it is currently developing a new bike named RX 100, Yamaha is going to give the 200cc engine in the new bike. Yamaha can’t bring back the old RX 100 in the current environment where the emission control norms are becoming more and more stringent.
Even if the new RX 100 bike is launched, it will be a completely new bike and not the old RX 100. However, it remains to be seen whether Yamaha will launch a new bike or ditch the old RX 100.
