VFR to all.

[palmer]

think... one is a 125cc, the other a 400cc ...

In the same way as a 1000cc bike is faster in all respects than a 400cc and a 125cc bike is faster in all respects than a 50cc bike.

[mrchips]

That is a tough one I'll get back to you.

[Gazdaman]

Wierd, I just shook the magic 8 ball on my desk and it said "VFR 400".

Strange, never seen it say that before

In all seriousness, the 400 is going to be a lot faster. Personally I think it looks better although the RS series are very sexy bikes.

you might want to look into other factors, i.e fuel consumption, insurance costs etc.

oh heres a better question; what about 250 2 stroke Vs 400 4 stroke?

[loply]

VFR400 is obviouslly faster, quicker and more reliable than an RS125. By far.

[binge]

Id say that the RS 50 is that fastest by far. My mate recons he can get 97mph out of his rs 50. (load of bollox)
hehe. Lil ped bois on their rs50s.
Id say the VFR400 is faster than a RS 125. the RS does 100-110mph, and the VFR400 woud probably do 120-130mph. so its ur choice

not sure, acceleration of the 250 would be better than the 400, but the 400 will have a slightly higher top speed?

You missed one important question m8, which one handles better??????
The RS125

Also the vfr400 aint more reliable, the RS125 is just as reliable if serviced correctly, which is a common mis conception. 2t's have shorter service intervals and if these guidlines are not followed then thats when they become un-reliable.

And to the RS250 vs 400 question, RS250 all the way, especially on the twistys.

As you may tell, im quite a fan of 2t;s

[Gazdaman]

the rs125 according to aprillia needs a major engine component replacement after something like 7000km. Someone I met at work decided he knew best, and ignored it. 2 months after, he needed a whole new top end rebuild.

The only major engine component that need replacing after 7000miles is the rings which take under half an hour to do on a 2t engine.

Why is everyone so obsessed with speed??? I know id prefer a good, crisp handling bike than a heavy sluggish one. (im not saying that the vfr is sluggish i was jus making a point)

[mr jamez]

Have you ever ridden a VFR400? or even a RS125, properley? don't want to offend you but you're opinions on these bikes and the the general view of 125vs bigger bikes seems to be made up from other peoples views

You can't just say X will beat Y, because out on the road there are too many factors that will affect this.

[Wave2k]

i have ridden a RS125 and a CBR400 which is fairly simular
and can say that to me, the cbr handles alot better than the rs
and it much much much more faster

plus RS125s are as reliable as a paper bag in rain, its just a lottery if its a expenive part breaks or its just a washer

vfr hands down, did you really need to make a post out of it? !

[tony532]

a vfr400 would piss all over an rs125 as would a gsxr400,zxr400 e.t.c

if you mean a full power rs125 on a cat a2 license or a vfr400 restricted to 33 bhp on a cat a2 license

then the vfr400 would still spank the rs125's ass

unless the rs125 had a lot of mods done to it to make it push out 33 b.h.p other than just having the powervalve connected/fitted as they make about 26 de-restricted standard no matter what anyone else tells you

good god a sensible well informed post by me
