The MCN reviewer forgot to use a spell checker.
Seems a well built bike, but 4k for a 125, oh oh. What is worse is that a Yamaha R125 is a whopping 4.2K.
I know Yamaha did or still does 0 % finance, but it is still 4.2K!

What for a millisecond? Then they leave them a mile behind on the road 
Really can't see the point. For that £4K I could have bought both my bikes and insured them. Still, there will be some kid drooling at the prospect of owning one at this minute.

I think it is because they are 125's.
Four strokes at that and they are more expensive than a lot of second hand bikes that are 600's etc...

I wouldn't mind 250cc V2 or V4 in 2006-10 RS125 frame and shape (if they managed to fit it somehow haha) with 40-45bhp and dual front brake discs (with easy restriction to 33bhp for those who need).
I would pay £5k for it 
But £4k for a 125cc with less than 15bhp is only for those with money but no brains. |

when I read that I laughed sooooo much.
I reckon that the quickshifter is going to be a good £200-£300 and it'll give the chavs in my area something to 'show off' about, cus it makes them ride like that racer guy...Maxdfgdfg Biaggertyjlergr or whatever drivel they want to tell me about ahaha
And who the hell wants a max speed function? What's the most that'll show? 70? 80 at a push?

Aint that just a posh way for Aprilia to sell a big bore kit, along with something to change the fuelling?

How many power ranger types do you see that never go near a race track with a bike full of carbon, with race tuned this and that. You know it's just gimmicks. Gimmicks work, they sell stuff.
Leave them to it. It's not my money. |
I just personally don't see the point in wasting money like that (as if the RS4 wasn't expensive enough already). For me, modifications have to be practical and well priced for me to consider them. I wouldn't stick a loud exhaust on my bike purely for the noise/to piss off the neighbours. I'd only do it if it was stainless steel and as such would last longer than mild steel
Call me sad or whatever, but I just hate wasting money on pointless things! For me, it's most definately function over form

More thn likely, but I'm not sure how that'd stack up. Would the low weight spark an advantage? For example, an SV650 had a claimed power of 69bhp and a topspeed of only 123mph, so I'm yet to understand how a 30-odd bhp 125, with less torque AND power could reach 100mph :S
You probably could get it to do 140mph as well, but it'd be a pig to ride on the road and it'd have to be rebuilt all the time. In all fairness, a highly tuned engine like that probably wouldn't last too long under road use :/ also, what fuel did that series run? Regular unleaded?
Maybe someone should volunteer their brand new RS125 (the last of the 2-strokes) and all of us on the forum chuck some money at it and see what we can get out of it?

Anyone with BT vision can still watch serious 1+2 on replay each has arbout 7 episodes well worth a watch , some of the kids showed realy talent i esspecially thaught danny kent was good even though he finished overall 2nd |

Don't blame you buddy, I do the same now I've got my 500 albeit restricted to 33bhp but hey :')
It still has way more power than a 125, still faster than a 125, comfier than a 125, it has better road presence than a 125, I feel it's better looking than a 125 (I'll probably get slated there but hey ahaha)
The only thing I miss about my 125 is the fact that I don't get between 110-120mpg anymore  but I think that's a small price to pay for an ultimately better bike
