My 2nd bike, Aprilia RS125

[club_rm]

I started riding in April 2010 (age 32) and bought a brand new 10 plate Honda CBF125 as this seemed a sensible way into biking. It lasted me well through the summer and autumn although I was outgrowing it and getting frustrated with it's limited power (which when I first bought it I was in awe of lol)

Anyway was going to do the DAS at the end of autumn but never got round to it and sold the CBF as I am planning to take the DAS in spring, ready for a 600 for summer

However, what I thought would be an easy few months without a bike hasn't been and I realised the bike bug had bitten... hard. Therefore I found myself a faster 125 so I can still ride about on L plates (rear to be fitted) but have more power and get used to a racing seating postion (as opposed to the sit up CBF). I've only been out on her a couple of times what with all the snow and bad weather however I'm very much liking the new powerband concept... as soon as I hit 6,000rpm it goes... and the fat rear tyre, lot less movement over ruts etc. great fun and a lovely two stroke.

Ride safe

Cheers, bought it because I'm not sure if I'm going to prefer sit up riding or racing undecided yet so this will be a cheaper way to find out... also I've always wanted a RS125 two-stroke, will be keeping it if I get a 600... it's a future museum piece lol.

What year is it, and how much cash needed to part?

They're fantastic bikes - I had one but sold to fund my wedding:( ... and bikeless since.

Just make sure to keep on top of the maintenance and you'll be well away.

I'll go out on it in any weather (except snow), gives me a chance to practice different riding conditions and a chance to clean it afterwards not sure I believe in motorbike seasons i.e. put it in a garage for 3 months, as long as you pick the right day and wear the right stuff, why not take 'em out? Also feels a lot more stable in wet than CBF... tyres were too skinny for my liking...
