You meant CD100 ?

Can't recall hero honda ever released a model called rs100 in India. There first and longest living model (other than Splendour) was perhaps CD100.

Can't seem to find 4s on Royal Enfield website? Only Electra 5s is listed there. Has this been discontinued? I thought 4s was a more popular sister of 5s?

C'mon- bikers don't give up so easily. Just for a quick inspiration look at me

I chauffeur my family five days a week but weekends are bike days. It would be lot easy, if you have a daughter- little girls like to ride behind dad's bike and that is reason enough to convince missus that how badly you need to get back to biking!

NoMan47 · 1st March 2009, 00:51

Kinetic Honda (2004-06)
Yamaha RX 135 (2007 - present) And probably and hopefully for a long time.
