For those who grew up hearing the unmistakable roar of the Yamaha RX100 tearing through the streets, here’s the news that will make your heart race—the legendary RX100 is making a comeback. Yes, the bike that once ruled Indian roads with its raw sound and lightweight performance is set to return, and this time, it’s bringing the same iconic attitude with a serious modern twist.
The Legend Returns — And It Means Business
Yamaha isn’t just reviving the RX100 in name. The new version is being built to honor the legacy of the original, while adding just the right amount of modern touches. The classic styling? It’s still here. Think round headlamp, minimalist body panels, chrome highlights, and that unmistakable upright stance. For those who crave nostalgia, the RX100 is back to give you chills, just like it did the first time you saw it.
But don’t think this is just a retro showpiece. Yamaha knows Indian riders expect performance, refinement, and features in 2025—and the new RX100 is ready to deliver on all fronts.
Modern Power Meets Vintage Style
While the old RX100 was known for its two-stroke engine and lightweight thrill, times have changed. The new RX100 will house a BS6-compliant four-stroke engine, likely in the 125cc to 150cc range, offering a perfect blend of power and efficiency. Yamaha is fine-tuning this motor to preserve that signature RX feel—quick throttle response, agile movement, and that deep, bass-heavy exhaust note that once turned heads at every traffic signal.
And yes—the sound is a huge part of this comeback. Yamaha engineers are reportedly working to replicate the raw, raspy growl that made the RX100 so iconic. This isn’t just a motorcycle—it’s a symphony on two wheels.
Built for Today’s Rider
While the soul of the bike remains the same, the RX100 will come equipped with modern essentials. Expect features like LED lighting, digital-analogue meters, front disc brakes, tubeless tyres, and possibly even Bluetooth connectivity. Yamaha wants to make sure this bike appeals not only to fans of the original but also to a whole new generation of riders.
Handling and ride quality are expected to be tight and responsive, just like before—but with added comfort and safety that today’s buyers demand.
When and How Much?
While Yamaha hasn’t confirmed the exact launch date yet, insiders suggest that the new RX100 could hit Indian roads by late 2025 or early 2026. As for pricing, Yamaha will likely aim for a sweet spot—competitive enough to attract the youth market while offering enough premium elements to satisfy long-time fans. Early expectations suggest a price tag around ₹1.25 to ₹1.5 lakh (ex-showroom).
The RX100 isn’t just another motorcycle launch—it’s the resurrection of an icon. It carries with it not just horsepower and specs, but an emotional legacy that still lives in the hearts of millions.
So if you’ve ever dreamed of owning an RX100—or owning it again—get ready. Yamaha is about to bring back the beast, and it’s going to be louder, faster, and more unforgettable than ever.
