What do you guys think of this? To me it looks similar to the RSV4. I wonder how much it will cost.

The mirrors are in a weird position but apart from that it looks good.

They've ruined it though by fitting it with a 4 stroke engine.

Rode the Derbi before l got my NSR Yes it looks good but the build quality is poor and the bike feels cheap and its four stroke Neutral

I think the 4 stroke makes it a good option for someone who wants the good looks with reliability but if its for the same price as the old one it will be in direct competition with the Yam R125, it would be good to see how they compare.

To be honest I preferred the old model, they look better & are 2 stroke. Maybe it will grow on me though, wouldn't mind a go at thrashing one silly for a while to see if they are any fun to ride.

I don't like the look of the front end, it looks like it's already braking really hard without being moving.

It's bound to in the end, enviro-Nazis will make sure of that. Euro emmissions 4 or 5 or whatever nth iteration says you're exhaling too much CO2, so go kill yourself just so long as its not on a fast bike as thats dangerous.

Didn't Derbi used to use Yamaha (TZR) engines in the GPR?
Are they using Yammy 4T engines too? That may answer a question to reliability. As to the Spanish build quality of the rest of the bike....

The draw of the 2T GPR appeared to be the simplicity of derestriction, adding a fuse sounded a great idea, though I doubt the Association of Chief Police Officers would have thought so.

If they'd killed the performance, and there's no possibility of derestricting it loses all its appeal AFAICS.

The enviroment thing is a load of shit. They are slowing killing of an engine type which is perfect for small motorcycles.

Do the EU laws apply to things like chain saws and lawn mowers? I can't imagine a 4 stroke chain caw being that good.

Derbi GPR's being made into 4 strokes? that sucks, I own a 4 stroke bike but I also love 2 stroke 125's and their being killed off which is shit.

when i can afford it, i'm getting an RD500 as my commuter bike, just as a fuck you to all the environmentalists who think it can possibly be a good idea to stamp out 2 strokes.

either that or ill take a file to my valve stems and have a bike like steve_ds' anti-ozone divvy. Twisted Evil

Argh pissing 4 stroke.
They only make them 4 strokes too get around emission laws.

I would never buy anything thats a 125 or under that has a 4 stroke engine. There just not exciting.

But it looks nice.
