    I have a 1991 model RX-100 of my own. Excellent bike, raw power and fun to drive. However this is a two stroke engine. World is worried about smoke emissions and hence government legislation has ensured that nobody can manufacture two stroke engines anymore. Your only option is to buy a pre 1991 bike and restore it. It might cost you almost like a new bike and take up to 6 months or more.Yamaha knows the public loves the RX monicker but is helpless. However you shall be pleased to know that sometime ago they made a small and compact motorcycle just about the size of the original and they put in a four-stroke 100cc motor and named it RX- Saluto 100cc. This bike is perfectly street legal to sell and any Yamaha dealer can procure this for you.

    They actually have a new model called RX Saluto. Dimensions are small like the original. However it features a four stroke 100cc engine instead of the torque induced two stroke engine of the original. If you still want the original, you will have to buy an old model (1985-1991) and get it refurbished to original specs. If you get a got mechanic it is very much doable. No short cuts here. You need to invest your time plus your money if you need a good functional RX 100.

    Government has no brains bro. 2T smoke just emits smoke but doesn't pollute the environment. The white smoke and black smoke which comes from the 4 strokes when the engine is not good in condition causes more pollution.
