Here’s the Yamaha RX100, The Mighty RX King of 2025 Brought To Life Again! Sarvesh Jha Known for its robust performance, light body and a menacing sound, the RX100 is a bike that ruled the Indian roads in the 1980s and 1990s. The new RX100 is Yamaha’s way of marrying old with new and turning it into a head turner in the two-wheeler market time and again!
Design and Style – Old School with Modern Effects
The 2025 Yamaha RX100 comes with the design elements that helped it become an icon in the first place, with a round headlamp and teardrop shaped fuel tank among other features, while it also gets a flat seat. The look is mostly classic, yes, but there are a few modern touches Yamaha is using to entice today’s riders.
Design Highlights:
- Circular shaped LED headlamp and tail lamp

- Retro themed colors: Candy Red, Midnight Black and Racing Blue
The design has the spirit of the original RX100 but with new refinements that new RX100 users will appreciate.
Engine and Performance – Constructed for Thrills
However, unlike, the old 2-stroke engine the new RX100 gets the BS6 compliant 125cc or 150cc single-cylinder, air-cooled 4-stroke engine. This new engine delivers better fuel economy, lower emissions and good power output and robust performance.
Expected Specifications:
- Engine Capacity: 125cc–150cc

- Torque: 13–14 Nm

Final Verdict
The RX100 New Model 2025 by Yamaha is not just another motorcycle, it’s a legacy personified. Hell, that’s why I’m also hoping that the Tuono would be a bike that just distills the Aprilia experience; you know, the sweet, sweet experience that helps you be a rational adult most of the time…so you can go berserk on weekends.
It’s that bike that lets you have your cake and eat it In the case of the Speed Twin, it’s not really looking back at its other retro siblings. With its modern engine, nostalgia-inspired design, and modern safety nannies, I reckon the Speed Twin has found the sweet spot that boxes the past and the future with the sound of the original RX100 in their ears or their hearts or those who are younger than them, this RX100 has been reborn as the ideal model which combines the characteristics of performance, economy , and excitement.
