CONCLUSION:
In the final analysis, with the 93 kph top speed, the overtaking ability, the excellent fuel average, and the sheer rideability, the energy FX comes out better than almost any other bike in this class. What with the FAT (100/90) rear tyre, the BIG bike looks, the FX is a modifier's dream come true. You can do the maximum modifications at minimum cost. At the cost of sounding kinky, the best thing I liked about this bike is the "Mandrake-the-Magician" eyelights on the headlamp fairing and the worst thing I disliked is the cusp of the seat. I am going to slice off the rear (pillion) portion of the seat and make it flat like the old RX 100 seat - and to hell with whoever sits behind me!

The price (on 10 April.2002) of the Energy FX as tested, without self start (SS) or disc brake, on-road Pune is Rs.48,445/- which includes RTO and insurance. Just for general knowledge, the price of the bare (no disc, no SS) LML Adreno FX is Rs.49,355/-. Price with SS (but no disc), the Energy FX costs Rs.51,872/- and the Adreno FX costs Rs.52,776/-.

However, for those who want a disc, after- market Pricol disc brake is available for Rs.6,000/- all inclusive. All prices given above are on-road in Pune, as on 26/2/2002 and include RTO and insurance.
