Yamaha RX100: Leader of Indian Bikes

Hope! you might be wondering why I included Old RX100, whose production has stopped by 1996 itself. It might have stopped 10 years ago, but still there is demand for the Yamaha RX100 bikes in India and no body can reject this.

It was the dream bike of all the people who lived in 1980's and 1990's. and still many youths love to have this rocking bike with its aggressive(but noisy) sound of the Engine.

The bike stayed in the Indian automobile production history for 12 years(1984 to 1996), but the name and fame it gained was never underestimated even now.

It is because of the bike's super fast Engine and simple body design for effective handling.

Specifications:

1. Displacement: 98cc
   
2. Engine Type: 2 Stroke, SOHC
   
3. Output power: 11Bhp@7500rpm
   
4. Engine Torque: Info unavailable
   
5. Tank capacity: 10.5Ltrs
6. Gear: 4-Speed
   
7. Weight: 103kgs
   
8. Top Speed: 100kmph
   

Pros:

1. Easy Handling
2. Excellent top speed
3. Best output power which has not been touched by other bike manufacturers even now for a 100cc engine.

Cons:

1. Very small body for people more than 6'.
2. Needs expertise for driving as it is not an simple machine if accelerates to high speed.

Even now!!! Yamaha RX100 rock on indian roads this shows the Quality of Yamaha in 1990's itself.

Kudos to Yamaha!!!Hats off!!!

Cheers!!!

Honda CBF Stunner: Hero of 125cc

Honda's Third hit in the Motor bikes was the CBF Stunner. Due to the increased sale in the 125cc segment of bikes, there was a stiff competition among the Manufacturers. Bajaj leader in sales with its Discover 125. But when the competition from Yamaha's Gladiator, Honda Shine, TVS Flame and Suzuki's Zeus grew , bajaj took necessary steps to upgrade its XCD and Discover.

Bajaj announced the XCD Sprint, aggressive version for sports and Honda introduced the CBF concept into the 125 segments.

It created a great expectation among Bike enthusiasts. Finally, when the bike released styles and looks were abnormally satisfied but the Engine performance not as good as Shine.

Specifications:

1. Displacement: 124.7cc
2. Engine Type: 4-Stroke, SOHC
   
3. Output Power: 11bhp@8000rpm
4. Engine Torque: 11nm@6500rpm
5. Tank Capacity: 10Ltrs
6. Weight: 129kgs
7. Top Speed: 102kmph

Pros:

1. Good Looks and styling
2. Good pickup
3. Nice choice for youth

Cons:

1. Poor Engine performance
2. Poor mileage (45kmpl on city)
3. Not as smooth as Shine above 80kmph as Shine

Inspite of its drawbacks, the syling plays a major role and covers all the negatives of the bike.

The Bike is definitely an Hero of 125cc bikes because of its Styling.

Cheers!!!
