The legendary Yamaha RX100, one of India’s most iconic motorcycles, might be making a grand return in 2025. Enthusiasts and nostalgic riders have long awaited the rebirth of this two-stroke marvel, and recent reports suggest Yamaha is planning to bring it back with a modern twist.
A Modern Classic
The new RX100 is expected to retain the classic retro styling of the original while incorporating modern technology and features to comply with today’s safety and emission norms. Yamaha is likely to equip the bike with a fuel-injected, four-stroke engine, ensuring compliance with BS6 Phase 2 regulations while still delivering a thrilling performance.

Performance Upgrades
While details about the engine specifications remain undisclosed, Yamaha might introduce a 150cc or 200cc single-cylinder engine, aiming to capture the essence of the original RX100’s raw power and agility. A lightweight chassis, improved suspension, and disc brakes on both ends are expected to enhance handling and safety.
Expected Features
The upcoming RX100 could come with LED lighting, a digital-analogue instrument cluster, alloy wheels, and ABS to align with modern commuter and street bike trends. However, Yamaha is likely to maintain the signature exhaust note that made the original RX100 a cult favorite.
Launch & Pricing
The Yamaha RX100 2025 is expected to launch in the second half of 2025, with an estimated ex-showroom price ranging from Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 1.8 lakh. This puts it in competition with popular retro-style bikes like the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, TVS Ronin, and Honda CB350.
