Ahh. RXS.
Sold mine a year and a bit ago now. Did enjoy it but barely practical for me, fun to work on and I'm glad I fixed it up and sold for double what it cost me ____________________ Yamaha RXS 100 > Honda CD 250 > Honda Hornet 600 > Honda CBR 600RR > Yamaha RXS 100 > Kawasaki ZX6R J2 > Yamaha FZ1 |

Increasingly I get people taking snaps of the old relic when she's parked up and coming up and reminiscing about learning in the 80s on small strokers. Those left in one piece are gradually being bought up by collectors, who will no doubt return them to as-new condition and just wheel them out at rallies.
To my knowledge, there isn't another RXS in regular use locally (Medway area). Though I have seen a guy on a B-reg H100A here and there recently. I do find it quite hilarious that a clapped out old commuter tiddler gets so much attention. But I guess a lot of people learned to ride on bikes like this in the good old days (when unleaded petrol was under 40p litre and you could go out on the lash with a fiver and come home with change in your pocket ). ____________________ The RXS100: vehicle of choice for Chuck Norris |

I think that bleep from the relay would twist my melon after a while Otherwise, looks to be an excellent way to make indicators actually flash. I can't help but wonder what possessed the Japanese to put such laughably crap 6v systems on so many of their small bikes. I think most people would have preferred to pay a few quid more and not have the various issues.
I don't think the brow olives bodge would help much on my old wreck - the amount of wear is absolutely ludicrous. I've only put off sorting it for so long because of the potential for disaster associated with my lack of welding skills coming into contact with the frame ____________________ The RXS100: vehicle of choice for Chuck Norris |

Wonder if my old one will still be going at that mileage, only had 20k on it 3 years ago when I sold it.
I keep umming and ahhing about selling the KH but everybody keeps telling me to keep it with the way 2 strokes (even the old commuters) are going though I admit the other than the odd blast to town I don't get much kick from using it like I did my RXS. ____________________ Current: 02 FZS 1000 Some Bike Pics...

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 7 years, 42 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
