best road legal 125cc 2 strokes

[adamcpi50sx08]

what would you guys say are the best 125 2strokes for the road because i am sellin my offroader soon and i am goin to buy a 125 2 stroke with the money for when im 17, im thinkin either rs125, rm125 ( i have seen a few road legals ones), nsr 125 if theres any good ones still around. also do these bikes really hit 100 - 120 mph, any other suggests would help, im not bothered wether its a superbike replica like the rs, a offroader like the rm or a supermoto (starting to like them more everytime i see one)

If you want fastest available, a KTM125EXC with supermoto wheels will probably do it. However even if you restrict it to 33hp, it still won't be '33hp legal' never mind learner legal; as you'd need even less power for the power/weight ratio.
More reasonably, the Aprilia RS125 is a good bet for speed on the road.
Will get to a 'real' 100mph or so if it's in good nick. 120mph is the realm of pub park talk and inaccurate speedos. NSR125 is a decent 'all round' bike that most find more comfortable for day to day use.

i like the rs 125 and i dont think i could afford the ktm and will only be on my cbt or 33bhp restriction at the most if i go for my test, are there any good or bad years of the rs

older the RS the more it will of been beaten by 17 year olds.

My advice would be go for the CBR125 as it's less maintenance which you won't be use to and 2 stroke maintenance is a lot more expensive.

But if you go for an RS looks for proof of rebuilds, well looked after etc . . . but i'd say go for the CBR125

For a sports bike Honda NSR125, Aprilia RS125, Cagiva Mito in ascending value of looks/performance but in descending value of reliability and cost to repair.

nsr's are the way forward . if everyone had one the world would be a better place

what a wonderfull world that would be

Head says NSR125, heart says RS/Mito with a spare for when it's broken.

Suzuki RG or Cagiva Mito.

Ah the RG, for looks and power it would have to be a post '92 model (RG125F), and they were only made until '96 I think, and you might have problems finding one with an original engine that still works, another alternate would be the TZR125, but again finding one still working in decent condition might be a problem.

TDR 125 you know it makes sense

RS has a slightly higher top speed and a bit better handling on paper, at the expense of riding position for general use.
In real life, the faster one is the one with the faster rider on.

As for your change of direction, afraid I don't know much, but here's a pic ...

i am starting to fall in love with the rs's since i've been looking on ebay, seen a mint white one and was very tempted to bid with the credit card lol but i stopped myself, another thing i would like to know is why do some adverts claim 14 bhp and other claim 33bhp is this something to do with the full power rs 125s because one advert says the lad had fitted a different powervalve and blade etc to make it full power, so what is real bhp on these things then

The lower number would indicate it was restricted, the higher number that it was derestricted.

33bhp is the limit for two years after you pass your test, unless you are over 21 and do a direct access test, so people tend to say the NSR/RS give you 33bhp.

I had a 01 RS125 about 5 years ago, I can say that this is the bike which got me addicted to two wheels! Don’t bother with the restricted version either, mine originally came as the restricted version but I took it to my local garage to get it de-restricted, unfortunately they could not do it their but they took it to the local Aprilia dealer who just plugged it into a machine and it was done FULL POWER (all 30 odd bhp!). After that I never looked back and it felt like a different bike!

Edit: My garage first reconnected the power valves and it was full power but it would only rev to 9,000 rpm, so I took it back and that’s when they had to go to the local Aprilia man and plug it.
