I'm egar to turn 17 and get my CBT so I won't have to keep poodling up and down my road annoying my neighbours and just wanted to know if the Yamaha RXS 100 (obviously depending on condition) would be able to do long distances and what's the longest people have done on their's and any tips I may need if I was to go for a long distance journey.

Much appreciated,
Jp14

Its not ideal as its a 2 stroke however! , I do know of two dispatch riders who used them Tom used one and had to keep decoking it so he said , Jason used one briefly. Also and dispatch riders clock up 1000s of miles a week. Though this is merely anedotal. That said you won't be allowed on motorways anyway so clocking up major mileage each day isn't that likely.

Ive done well over 180 miles in one day on a two stroke 50cc, so an RXS100 should easily do 250 miles i'd say.

I used to do trips around North Wales on my Kh100, up to 100 miles a time on nice sunny days. You have to be a bit careful not to thrash them too hard for an amount of time, but otherwise ok.

I once did a tour round Scotland on a cb100n, did about 900 odd miles in all, never had a problem. Thumbs Up

Make sure you carry a spare sparkplug and spanner is all.

I did 150 miles in a day, 2-up with my girlfriend on a YB100 (which is the much slower predecessor to the RXS).

they are more like 4 strokes than 2 strokes in the way they run if they're running properly.

top end rebuild intervals are stupidly far apart.

100cc and showing 75mph on the clocks, and i wouldnt say thats inaccurate either.

excellent little bikes, but like everything, abuse it and it will come back to haunt you.

keep it stock, with the airbox, exhaust and jetting and theres no reason for it to break down at all regardless of milage.

and the exhaust coking up, your mate was probably using shit oil. i ran it, and forced the ex missus to run it on fully synthetic, which is overkill, but makes it smell pretty.
