Why Yamaha RX100 motorcycle attract people?

The Yamaha RX100 is one of the most iconic motorcycles of the 90s era. It might be the first bike that comes to mind when someone talks about two-stroke bikes. It was one of the funnest motorcycle rides ever. Now it has a cult following, some people maintain them very well and such RX100s can sell for a lot of money. Here we have a video where we can see the bike being assembled at the factory back when the bike was still on sale. Video shared on YouTube by WildFilmsIndia. In the video, we can see the different stages of assembling motorcycles in the factory. Production of the RX100 took place at the Escorts Yamaha factory. The RX100 was discontinued in 1996. In the first shot of the video, we can see several workers working on the assembly of the motorcycle. Then we can see a person testing a motorcycle engine. We can see that the RX100 accelerates to 80 km/h quite quickly considering the time it was on sale. A person reaches a maximum speed of 89 km/h on the speedometer. It was 1983 when Yamaha Motor Corp and Escorts Limited entered into a partnership to produce the RD350. It was essentially an Indian version of the RD 350B that was sold in the foreign market. That was the time when the IND-Suzuki AX100 grabbed a lot of attention from Indian buyers. Yamaha studied the success of the AX100 and brought their RX100. They launched the motorcycle in 1983. The RX100 was more powerful than the AX100 from IND-Suzuki. Where the AX100 produced 8.25 hp, the RX100 produced 11 hp. Plus, the RX100 was affordable. The manufacturer never made any significant updates or changes during the lifetime of the RX100. It was sold for more than ten years. However, there have been some minor improvements. For example, new painting and striping options. The 6V electrical system was replaced by a better 12V system. The rest of the elements remained the same. The round headlight, round direction indicators, flat seat, long and rectangular fuel tank have therefore not undergone any changes. In addition, the two-stroke engine and exhaust have never changed. The RX100 was brought to India as CKD or Completely Knocked Down Units and then assembled at the plant. A "Made in Japan" label was placed on the motorcycle. It was originally offered in three color schemes. There was black, cherry red and peacock teal. The initial batch of the RX100 speedometer was branded as Rajdoot. Then the Rajdoot brand was replaced by Escorts. You can still see some of the well-maintained or restored RX100s driving on Indian roads. If you wanted to buy it, you would have to spend a good amount of money. In addition, you would also have to spend money on fitness tests and maintaining them. The RX100 came with a two stroke engine which is now no longer used due to the high level of pollution they cause. So unfortunately Yamaha won't be able to bring back the iconic Yamaha RX100.
