1) i hate its looks: the flat panels & the skinny tyres dont evoke any interest!

2) i hate its sound: MOST IMPORTANT! i go mad (not in the good sense) when i hear a revving RX100. i simply dislike its ktrrrr trrrr sound. i know its a 2 stroke, but a kinetic honda scooter sounds better. i also know many here love the bike because of its sound, but i dislike it!

3) it is one of the most polluting bike i have seen on indian roads, again compared to 2 stroke bikes only.

4) initial acceleration is good but nothing mind blowing & acceleration after 50kmph is nothing to write about too.

the only thing good about the bike is its resale value!!!

sorry if i have hurt the RX100 loyalists/lovers, these are just my opinion & need not be accepted.

as aditya said, RX100 lovers are very vicious! but let me take a risk by voicing out my opinion- i completely DISLIKE the RX100!!!

reasons are many-

1) i hate its looks: the flat panels & the skinny tyres dont evoke any interest!

2) i hate its sound: MOST IMPORTANT! i go mad (not in the good sense) when i hear a revving RX100. i simply dislike its ktrrrr trrrr sound. i know its a 2 stroke, but a kinetic honda scooter sounds better. i also know many here love the bike because of its sound, but i dislike it!

I don't think RX is a polluting bike if maintained properly. I totally disagree.[evil]

I did Emission test on My bike just 2days back & the CO2 levels were less than a 4stroke bike(compared with my friends PULSAR reading).

And forget to mention that this results even after the bike is converted to 150cc & has a calculated muffler fitted in to OEM silencer. [thumbsup] Then think about the results without any mods

well maybe... but 90& of the RX100s & 135s i see on the road emit smoke like anything.

i have seen that RX100s are comparatively very less in mumbai than in kerela & bangalore... not that i am complaining!

Yamaha Bikes are very nice for pick-up and look. Yamaha RX-100 is fantastic bike. Now days number of good pick-up bikes you will get in the market. But Yamaha RX-100 is quite different and unique from all this bike.

Re: Your Experiences on the Greatest Bike there was in India...the RX100

Wow...! This is the thread I was looking for.
Glad to see all RX fans here, add myself to the list.
Here is my RX100 - 1994 model, but sold it[frustration] when I got shifted to chennai, thinking of getting one here, but with least success.
Missing her badly.[cry]
