    excellent. Im actually going to look at a suzuki ax100 myself in next few days. Similar sort of thing, was imported and never sold in uk. Fancy the small cc geared experience.

    Indian market should have had the rxs135 as well if you fancy a bit more go. Best to see if its a straight forward top end swap or if crank is different too.

    the 135 barrel fits the 100 but the 135 had a 5 speed box later in its final incarnation.can be tuned quite reliably for quite hairy power
