For decades, the name Yamaha RX100 has held a special place in the hearts of Indian bike lovers. Known for its lightweight build, raw performance, and iconic design, the RX100 ruled the roads during the 80s and 90s. Now, Yamaha is bringing back this legendary bike in a brand-new avatar in 2025 — and it’s a perfect blend of retro charm and modern tech.
Retro Looks, Modern Soul
The new Yamaha RX100 2025 brings back the classic design – tear-drop fuel tank, round LED headlamp, bold RX100 badge, and chrome-finished silencer. Available in iconic colors like Candy Red, Metallic Black, Racing Blue, and Pearl White, it’s a nostalgic treat for long-time fans.
Despite the retro design, Yamaha has modernized every key component. From LED lighting all around to a hybrid digital-analog instrument cluster, the bike looks vintage but feels futuristic.
Power-Packed Engine Options
Yamaha is reportedly offering the new RX100 in two engine variants – 125cc and 149cc, both single-cylinder, air-cooled, 4-stroke setups. These engines are BS6/BS7 compliant and come with fuel injection and Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) technology, ensuring smooth throttle response and better mileage.
- Power Output: 12–14.5 BHP
- Torque: 12–13.5 Nm
- Transmission: 5/6-speed gearbox (variant dependent)
- Top Speed: Up to 110 km/h
- Mileage: Between 45–60 km/l (actual conditions)
The RX100’s signature exhaust sound has been carefully re-tuned to retain the classic feel while staying compliant with modern noise norms.
Smart Features and Safety Upgrades
While the heart of the RX100 remains old-school, the features are anything but. Yamaha has added:
- Bluetooth connectivity for call and message alerts
- USB charging port
- LED headlight, tail light, and indicators
- Dual-channel ABS with front and rear disc brakes
- Telescopic front and dual shock rear suspension
- Adjustable suspension and pillion grab rail for comfort
You also get a semi-digital or full-digital instrument console, depending on the variant, showing speed, fuel level, trip meter, and even gear position.
Built for the City and Beyond
Weighing around 129 kg, the RX100 2025 is light and nimble — ideal for city traffic. With its compact frame and responsive handling, it appeals to both first-time riders and retro-bike lovers alike.
Variants, Pricing & Availability
Yamaha is expected to offer two main variants:
- Standard: ₹1.30 – ₹1.40 lakh
- Deluxe: ₹1.50 – ₹1.60 lakh
The bike is already available for booking at authorized Yamaha dealerships across India.
