Not looking too bad actually:

MCN has also said there will be a 125 version. Good competitor for the r125

That looks nice. Sounds like its about 30kg too heavy though... Sad

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Because of the Power to Weight limit on a2, could probably do some DIY weight saving

Ah; if it's right on that limit, that's a little more excusable.

The other thread showed a normal exhaust, while this one has an underslung one.

44bhp/147kg is about as good as you would get these days on a modern fully equipped sportsbike. It's only 21kg heavier than a TZR250, and the Aprilia RS125 was about 129kg wasn't it?

And don't be a girl, you don't need to resort to an IL4 for just 44bhp, as if you did the engine designer wouldn't know too much about how to extract horsepower.

According to mcn it's under slung akrapovic as standard.

Says it's the fastest bike in the A2 limit as it's right on the balance
