The Yamaha RX-135 (also popularly known under the name RX-King or RX-K in Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia) is a ] motorcycle with a two-stroke engine produced by Yamaha since the 1980s, now made by the Indian subsidiary India Yamaha Motor.

The RX-135 was released around the end of the 1990s and in select India cities, you could get a factory-shipped RX-135 until August 2005. There were two versions of this bike sold in India - the four-speed and the five-speed. Apart from the difference in the transmission, the bikes differed in the carburetor type, sprockets, cylinder and head.

RX-135 also had been initially introduced as RXG with similar engine capacity but with numerous changes with bottom-end gearing (primary ratio), sprockets and cylinder design.

The engine was the only two-stroke bike you could get in the Indian market until late 1990s,[citation needed] selling for a little while longer than the more sedate TVS Suzuki Samurai. The engine produced 14 brake horsepower (10 kW).
