Looks pretty sweet for a 125! I don't even like sport bikes I like this!

Basically just a restyled Gpr125.

meh am getting fed up with the homogenity of bike line ups atm within brands, just dilutes the potential iconism of the machine.

I agree with Dave. Too much like the RSV4 IMO.

I was hoping the 4 stood for 4 cylinders, not 4 stroke. Sad Never liked Aprilias anyway, so ho-hum.

Looks cool but they shouldn't have made it like the RSV4. Imagine the guy that has spent £££££ on his new RSV then some chav pulls up along side on a bike that looks the same Laughing

Cheap restyling exercise by part of piaggio and I think THEY KNOW it's going to sell. In all fairness good on them. I'd buy that but to be fair, I know too many freshers at uni who bought the YZF-R125 only to find they got bored or frustrated with it when they couldn't keep up with a 250cc commuter!

I don't know. Something tells me that the cycle parts themselves are better on the RS125? They did a shootout between the Yammy R125, Derbi and RS... no doubt the RS won in everything including build quality.

Who'd want that POS instead of a GPR? At first, I was horrified that this was the new RSV4. Shocked

I would hardly call an RSV4 ugly?? Its a stunning bike, I would say the best looking out of all the litre sports bikes Cool

This does make it a little less desirable to me though, as it pretty much looks exactly the same Sad

Ugly silly triple headlights, generally bulbous and a bit of an unflowing mis-match in a bad way.

I'm sure you just need to describe a bike as 'exotic' and suddenly everyone loves it, despite how ugly/plain it is - SP1/2 being an excellent example!

I don't find it that bad, but based upon modern day bike cosmetics (on the most part), it's the greater of numerous weevils.

I can see a lot selling to the younger crowd, and I think I prefer it over Yamaha's R125.

I don't like the look of MV's or Ducati's so I would hardly say that!

The RSV4 is stunning however Cool

Probably because they do actually look quite pretty Wink... at least until you look of the front of the MV anyway Razz.

SP1 and 2 were best described as 'purposeful', certainly not pretty, but they looked a million mph fast and tiny even when sat parked up. The RSV4 has that same trick nailed imo.
