Bajaj Auto has received European patent for ExhausTEC technology which it currently uses in its motorcycles.

Bajaj Auto had received the patent for ExhausTEC in India in 2004 and has since sold over 50 lakh (5 million motorcycles) with ExhausTEC in India and abroad. According to Bajaj Auto, European patent derives priority from the corresponding Indian patent application dated August 6, 2004 and was awarded after a stringent examination.

According to Bajaj Autp, ExhausTEC technology (Exhaust Torque Expansion Chamber) that it had developed along with DTSi, improves low and mid end performance and fuel efficiency of single cylinder four stroke motorcycles.

Yes you heard it right; India Yamaha Motors is planning to bring back the legendary RX100. A motorcycle which not only defined Yamaha as performance motorcycling brand in India and became the best seller for Yamaha, but is even today fondly loved by the motorcycling enthusiasts.

And now, Yamaha is planning to resurrect the legend, albeit in a 4st avatar!

Speaking to the media, Mr. Pankaj Dubey, national business head, India Yamaha Motor, said: “We are working on the lines of the RX 100 and are looking to have something of a similar product for India. It will be early to talk about it but we will come out with a product there. We cannot launch the RX (100) with a two-stroke engine but we are working on a four-stroke version for the bike.”

While we are not entirely sure, how well the 2st enthusiasts will take this news. But we certainly hope that the bike Yamaha comes out with, is in keeping with the spirit of Yamaha RX100 i.e. light, zippy and one hell of a ride…
