Harleys one might have been, but in general the 125 2 strokes aren't. Especially the Mito and RS because there in a fairly high state of tune.

And without trying to start a my penis extension is bigger then yours is war. The RS is fastest but only by a couple of mph, an unnoticeable difference.

Hi

If treated right a Mito should be reliable, same as the RS and the NSR (the NSR does seem more able to put up with abuse). Basically service them regularly and do not thrash them from cold.

Top speed wise there is virtually nothing in it between the Mito and the RS, less than 1mph in the road tests. Most tests the Mito came out faster on, but not all, they are that close. The Mito has the advantage of a 7th gear so it can be geared for a slightly higher top speed without loosing all the acceleration from a standing start, but the RS should pull marginally higher gearing for a slightly higher top speed anyway.

Derestricted the RS and Mito will basically do 100mph, but they will indicated a long way over that and comparing indicated speeds between the 2 is pointless.

All the best

thanks for that. i think ill get it in that case.

thanks for the number because i was not so much worried about breaking down but i thought the parts were really difficult to come by, and i didnt want to spend most of my time waiting for parts instead of riding the bike.
