	Vehicle Overview
	The king of Indian streets at one time, the legendary Yamaha RX100 can amaze the riders and the onlookers in the same way as KTM 200 Duke. The 98cc motorcycle was good for 11 BHP and 10.39 Nm of torque while weighs just 103 kg. It claimed a top speed of 100 kmph while was quite unsafe because of just drum brakes at both ends. It was discontinued due to change in emission norms, as RX 100 was a 2-stroke motorcycle. As of now, Yamaha has no plans to re-launch the RX 100 in India, and you can only buy it from used bike market or from online portals like OLX and Quickr.	CT100B is for those who are on a strict budget and need the reliability of a real motorcycle. It uses the same 99.27 cc motorcycle that produces 8.1 BHP and 8.05 Nm of torque. The best part is its long and padded seat that adds more comfort while commuting around on rough terrain. It can serve as the best personal source of transport as its cost is even less than many bikes that were sold 10 years ago in the same engine segment. It rivals none other than TVS Sport and all other 100cc models that are priced under INR 40,000 in the Indian market.	NA

	India Launch Update
	Although a lot of Yamaha RX 100 fans are waiting for the relaunch of 100cc RX in India, unfortunately, Yamaha has no plans to launch the updated BS6 model of RX 100 with a 4-stroke engine. Some of the websites claim that Yamaha will relaunch the RX 100 in India but we would like to make it clear that all such reports are false.	NA	NA
