I loved my RS125, but when a close friend got a ZXR400 I became very jealous and bought an RVF400.

Riding a cbr400 at the moment, had a go on a mates full power rs a few months ago, it felt absolutely gutless!

They are really light and fun on the twisties, but in a miss a gear or bog down frustrating way.

The cbr is similar, as you have to keep it in the revs to keep up with the bigger bikes. But. if you do exit a corner in the wrong gear, or want to overtake without changing down, then you can without worry.

The 400 il4's are absolute screamers too, the make a very intoxicating sound at full chat!

I liked how flickable the rs was, and it wasnt a struggle to get pegs doing down on them
Felt much nicer than getting the sidestand down on the fzr

Nope

If it was the Honda rs125, slightly different story, then again it'd be shite on the road.

I wouldn't mind owning a Mito or NSR, but I wouldn't own an RS. Maybe ride one, but not own it

From then on, I and the bicycle feelings deeper.

I dont understand the question...

28bhp 2 stroke that blows up after 10k
Vs
65bhp 4 stroke that the cam chain fails on after 25k

The ZXR is more powerful, better for longer journeys, less hassle in the winter, less maintanence and doesn't require 2 stroke oil. The cam chain issues are a right pain in the arse though, so i'd take another 400 given the option.

ZXR400

With my RS I cannot go anywhere far, it's also an awful commuter especially in winter (4 miles one way).

ZXR400 would give me all what RS gives me + all that above what RS cannot.

[craigs23]

I wouldn't mind an RS125 to play around on. I'd much rather have one of those than a ZXR.

[_sketch_]

I love 2t bikes but i would look at the NSR 250 maybe? few kicking abotu on eGay.

RS250 FTW!

(It's becoming a classic and if it's well maintained will possibly go up in value!)
