I love 2 strokes and I wanted to marry(own) one.
Now I am hunting for it.
My budget is Rs. 8000 to Rs. 10000:stupid:
Due to medical expenses, Money spent on that issue.
I know spare parts for those Suzuki's are a big issue.
But the RX here in chennai are costing more than gold
75k-80k for RXZ 5speed[evil]
Now, I want to know which will be the best bike when it comes to performance[:D]

Please see the from best to least performance wise

1) RX 100 ( Firiing is awesome and awesoe pickup ).
2) Shogun ( The best pick up than all of them).
3) RX 135 ( This has some less pick up as compared to RX 100 but better mileage than RX 100 ).
4) Shaloin ( high maintance among 4 of them )

I think in your budget is very difficult to get a yamaha you try to get a shaolin.

Go for RX 100 its better than 135 pick wise and also firing or RX 100 is awesome. Maintainance wise RX 100 is easier to maintain with respect to engine rest body part are same

What i experianced and what i heard is opposite to your suggestion. i owned a samurai and used rx 100 for some years and very good experiance in rx 135 and Rxz. i didnt get a chance to ride a good shavolin or shogun.
A best tuned 135 has way better performance than a rx 135 i think. in our college days our friends identify the 100 and 135 like this- " if you hear the sound first and you see the bike coming, then it will be rx 100 for sure. If you see something zoom past and then the sound and when you look you see a tail lamp and smoke then it'll be Rx 135.

So this idea is dropped? or planning for another one?

My budget is Rs. 8000 to Rs. 10000
for this price you can "marry(own)" a RX, but you can't ride it. It won't be road worthy either in terms of documents or mechanically.

A best tuned 135 has way better performance than a rx 135 i think.
Really? Never knew.

What about a 5speed 135?
Will a modified Samurai beat RX100?
Both will beat if the RX100 is dead.

See the Pic attached.
It is a samurai!
But, It is stickered as shaolin!
I got a quote of Rs. 6300[clap]
Have you seen the vehicle in person? or got the quote through phone?
Do you know the cost of disc brake setup on that bike? that itself can fetch atleast 3k INR in used market and a scrap samurai (even without papers) will go for nothing less than 2k INR. Do you think the one in that snap could be available for 6.3k? if so, either the owner turned mad or he is not the owner himself.
Just a piece of advice, don't go by the snaps blindly. Olx is flooded with a lot of fake ads and I explained you clearly through PM for past 2 days.

No, This plan is not dropped!
I am planning for this scoot for multiple users in my family like my mom, my dad, etc.
And this is my own one!
And For this Scoot, My mom is giving me the money!
My mom refused to give me the money for a 2 stroke bike.
So, I am trying to save money and buy my dream!

What about searching for an RD 350[evil] in 'dead' condition and rebuilding it?
OK, So you think I am having lots of money with me?[roll]
You have gave this idea to wrong person(me)[cry]

No replies?
Waiting for replies

Sorry for the typo! I meant "A best tuned 135 has way better performance than a rx 100 i think.

What about this Mr.BOSS?

Note- I am not related to any Japanese family(Yamaha/ Suzuki / Honda /Kawasaki ) though my words are from my atleast 3 lakhs kms riding/14 years experiance in two wheelers(Japanse/indian technology) available in india.

Bro, please be prepared to answer "will it beat RX100?"
It won't beat it, it will kill it, eat it and spit it out of its tail pipes.[evil]

OK, So you think I am having lots of money with me?

For the same reason I've put ':stupid:' at the end!!
Well, since your budget is tight(killer indeed), I am doubtful if you will get anything out of the mentioned bikes in a working condition and then you will be spending at least twice of your budget in rebuilding the motorcycle again.
