Better brakes, hands down. Stopping was great, but the acceleration. Not so much. It would've been so much safer with disc brakes.

I'd add a sixth gear. On the highway, it always felt like it needed one more to really settle in.

Improve the electrics. There’s nothing worse than having to bump start it because the battery died... again.

Make it easier to work on. Tinkering was half the fun, but with some simple design tweaks maintenance could be a breeze.

I'd make it a bit heavier. It sounds crazy, but a little more weight would have made it more stable at high speeds.

Redesign the air filter box. It was a pain to clean and probably robbed some power.

Add an oil injection system. Fuel premixing was fun for about a week, then it became a chore.

You have to have fuel injection, but keep it carbed as an option for the purists. Maybe offer both versions?

I would really like to see a hybrid system. City electric motor, two stroke when you want to have fun. Best of both worlds!

Suspension and brakes for sure were modern. Make the engine simple, but safer to ride in today's traffic.

I’d like a digital dash with smartphone connectivity. Old school looks with new school tech.

What about variable valve timing for the two stroke engine? Emissions could be helped without giving up the power.

Keyless ignition and maybe even a push-button electric start option alongside the kick. Make it convenient for each and every day.
So what’s your best (or worst) memory of riding a Yamaha RX 135?

Best memory? The day I learned to wheelie. Worst memory? Later that same day I looped it and bent the handlebars. Worth it though!

Riding on a mountain road at dawn, engine echoing off the cliffs, no sound but the engine. Pure bliss.

Running out of premix oil in the middle of nowhere was definitely worst. Hard learned to always carry extra.
