Yamaha RX quickly gained popularity due to 2 stroke powerful engine. Due to strict modern emission norms , two-stroke motorcycles were banned and the RX bit the dust. Though simple and easy to maintain, two-stroke engines are far more polluting and fuel hungry than their four-stroke counterparts. In fact, it's estimated that almost 30 per cent of a two-stroke engine's exhaust fumes consist of unburnt fuel. The older a two-stroke engine is, the more polluting it's likely to be.
This bike is perfectly street legal to sell and any Yamaha dealer can procure this for you. Hormazd I have a model RX of my own. Is it worth buying Yamaha RX ? It is worth every penny! If there is one bike that is perfectly reminiscent of the '90s, it is RX Two-stroke engines can be considered the pioneers of modern-day motorcycling technology. At the moment, there is no ban on two-stroke motorcycles , as no Indian RTO has the authority to impose a ban on vehicles, according to a report in Zigwheels.
The manufacturers stopped the production of two-stroke motorcycles in India back in the year as the National Green Tribunal took strict steps to reduce air pollution. There is no doubt that the two-stroke vehicle causes more pollution and also consume more fuel at the same time and that is the reason why all the regional RTOs has stopped registering year-old two stroke vehicle in India. Although the Government has stopped the registration of these vehicles, still our country has one of the highest population of two-stroke vehicles active on road.
Production of most of the 2st motorcycles in India has stopped and with the emission norms getting tougher there is no way another 2st bike would be launched in India. The following 2 BHPians Thank yogesh sarkar for this useful post: alpha1, raihan. Correct me if i'm wrong, but was'nt the RX also stopped for the strange but true reason that it was the bike at its time with the fastest pickup, so robbers and chainsnatchers used to use it for their quick get aways.
From what someone told me, it seems even the police couldn't catch up with them when they got away on these bikes? Or may be it was the RX people were referring to? The following BHPian Thanks yogesh sarkar for this useful post: alpha1. Hell, this is what I've heard from people, so I could always be wrong.
You know how these whisper-hear-tell stuff are! And if I seem to recollect right, the bike was LOUD, so do you think that was another reason they might have wanted it off the streets? I may not be completely rite az. Yamaha was forced to stop producing the RX since it could not meet the pollution norms. The RX that was on sale in some international markets got a bikini fairing and a tailpiece. In the custom bike here, things like the handlebar, grab rail, mud-guards, crankcase, front forks and the exhaust have been chrome-plated.
The custom RX here sports Showa front fork and Ohlins gas-charged rear shock-absorbers. The speedo console and the Rear View Mirrors have been carried over from the stock bike.
Highlighting the popularity of the Yamaha RX amongst enthusiasts, in , a news had emerged that a dealer in Bengaluru has auctioned off seven units of the iconic motorcycle for five-figure sums. The dealer had been trying to sell these units for quite some time now but had to wait in order to obtain necessary permissions from the RTO as registration of two-stroke bikes had been stopped.
Yamaha India currently has no presence in the cc segment with their lowest capacity motorcycle being the Saluto. Currently, Yamaha says that it is focused on developing entry level CC bikes.
It had earlier planned of relaunching the legend, but the production costs and a 4-stroke engine led down the decision.
