Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a lightweight, low-powered two-stroke best suited to beginners or riders wanting a simple, unintimidating machine.
PurposeIt was built as an economical, easy-to-ride commuter and learner bike rather than a performance or adventure machine.
Rider FitIts very light weight and small dimensions make it easy to handle for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterThe RS 100 has a nimble, buzzy two-stroke character that rewards revving over relying on outright torque.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suited to riders wanting sustained highway speeds, long-distance touring comfort, or serious off-road capability.
