2003 rs125, 5500 ks. Bought it for 2250, will be my punter to and from work while i build the next bike (still not sure what) and the odd trackday. Looks cool, sound is downright embarresing [:I]

[zx12argh]

bet it handles alright tho. I'd only be embarrassed if it was a honda... tho saying that those CBR125s are really cute :D

I'll buy it off you when you've finished with it, the motor in my wipper snipper is getting a bit tired & this would be a perfect replacement.
OOPS [:0] I just re read the message header "don't tease me" Yeah, right.. You bought a bloody 125cc 2 stroke, you didn't really think you'd get away with it did you?
Seriously though, I bet it's a hoot to ride. [:p]

lol, like i said, its only to get to work and the fire station WHILE I BUILD A NEW BIKE!!!! But thankyou for your constructive critisisms (re - TEASING) :D Dont know what it handles like cos i haven't picked it up yet. Ill sell it to you when its done, cos id love to borrow that wipper snipper! It was either this or a cbr250rr for the price ( and still leave me enough for a crashed 01 - 04 gsxr), at least this is italian....

Where you getting those cheap GSXRs from Lewis?

[Weaselman]

nothing wrong with 2 strokes!!!
Just ask Jockney Rebel when i beat the pants off his triumph on my lawn mover :)

[Jockney Rebel]

enuf about that..... i was out of gas mate ...actaully that crm of urs goes quite well as for the little aprilia their the dogs bollox back in england where the l platers limit is 125cc ,is it de restricted ?

[Weaselman]

didnt the 250 use RGV engines?
Thats a Rotax aint it?

[Jockney Rebel]

nah andy the 125 s a suzy lump and yeah the 250s an rgv lump

[Weaselman]

ohh? what suzi?

[Jockney Rebel]

rg125

[Weaselman]

wow always thought it was a Rotax unit

[Jockney Rebel]

im pretty sure all the aprillia strokers are ex suzy engined made under licence the 125 knocks out close to 30 bhp[240bhp per 1000cc] unrestricted and handles like a little GP bike

[hmmmnz]

they are really quite good unrestricted, i had a good blast on a friends one and was quite surprised how well it went :D
the rs250 is based on the rgv engine, the rs125 is running a rotax engine,

Disposals large, www.motorcycledisposals.com.au good blokes to deal with as long as you know them (my first bike was way to dear, each one is getting cheaper) If anyone rings them talk to Lee. Don't go off whats on the net either, you need to hastle them about what they've got in the warehouse before it goes on

[lewis]

Do they come restricted rebel? I have no idea, but ill find out? Im thinking when ive finished a new bike this thing will get the job of being a trackday bike

[lewis]

rang the dealer in bathurst, the restrictor is a small rubber bung in the airbox, pull it out and job done apparently, im picking it up tomorrow so ill see how slow it realy is :D

[Jockney Rebel]

in europe there restricted to 12 hp by blanking off the power valve and a washer welded into the exhaust..bearing in mind thats based on all the jap 125s i didnt know they were rotaxs tho ...learn summat new everyday

[wackyrider]

Hey I had a few strokers as first bikes, and i had an RS125 (only new bike I've owned).They're handling is awesome Just ask the 3 blokes on their 600 racers when I passed 2 of them on a ride. They kicked my ass on the straights, but I left them for shits on the corners. 114kg dry weight - beat that ya twat!!!!
