Well scored me another project bikey wikey.

Pretty smart looking bike really!

Owned by an L plate warrior, but still, a 58 plate is fairly good for the money paid Thumbs Up

Short answer, no Laughing

Is it a case of ambitious but rubbish, or boredom? I'd personally love to have the space and money to sort out a project. I have enough bloody time on my hands for it!

This been derestricted to make the full 33bhp? If so it has the potential to be a hell of a lot of fun! Very Happy

Same bike as the aprilia 125, even down to the bodywork and underseat pea shooter.

Love the straight bars! Looks fun

Except its a Japanese engine Laughing It also has no bodywork bar the small side panels Thumbs Up

beechbone, I doubt it will make the full 33hp, might be in athe 24-27hp area, maybe.

Derestriction is just a 10A fuse Thumbs Up

Yeah I did think there were different to the RS...but same as the Gilera something or other.

27bhp would still be pretty damn fun with a little bike like that Very Happy

I was quite confusing when they also called late model GPR125's a Gilera SC125, as these bikes while being good and having well proved reliable powerplants, are very limp wristed compared to a Proper early-mid 90's Gilera SC125 using their own superior and potent 30bhp+ engine.

Superior or tuned to the hilt and likely to explode at random like the RS?

Much like the New Aprilia RS or the new Honda CBR250.

Used to really want one of these bikes, but in the end couldn't afford one. I still think they look lovely Thumbs Up
