Basically the only reason is there´s a few on sale for dirt cheap money and it seems there´s enough spares as well, since I already have a road bike and a trials bike (more like a project that´s almost done) it didn´t seem like a good idea to spend TOO much money for this at first.
The second reason for considering this is I´d like to have it road legal (at fist) so it´s again cheaper to insure.
Third - I live in Estonia, so we only have one proper track but way more kart tracks and theese will be the main starting ground so I thought lacking the top speed isn´t that much of a problem as long as I can keep the speed up and if this bike well make me a better driver by the end of 2017 it would have fulfilled it´s purpose
But looks like a R4 600cc would be a more reasonable way to go, although I´ve seen a lot of people recomending the SV650. |

It still sounds like it might not be the best idea so, maybe I really shouldn´t jump the gun on the RS125.
I have always had a thing for supermoto bikes but if talking about buget, I´m guessing that´s also not really a better version. Even with a LC4. |

If your stomping ground is likely to be kart tracks a super moto style pit bike might be an even better solution. You can get road legal versions of those too, spares and upgrades are limitless for pit bikes.
Depending on the kart track, I think even an RS125 might be OTT.
This sort of thing:

https://www.go-kart-racing.com/go-kart-racing-circuit/ This would be the one closest to me!
I have thought about pit bikes also, they just seem so small, but I´m sure they´re fun as hell.
It´s a pitty we don´t have the CBR250 from 90´s, when I was in Australia I picked a non-running bike up for 250$ and spent somewhere around 300 on it and man, what a bike. But they were only sold in Japan and maybe a few exports but not to the EU. Loved that bike, really light but still packed a punch.

Thanks for all the info and help, I´ll see where it get´s me and what will I end up eventually.
Going to scrap the RS125 idea for now, either way there´s no riding before spring, so I´m able to save up some more money and hopefully find the right bike |

Don't do that! All things considered*, I don't think the RS125 is a bad idea, that Kart track looks big enough for it to get up to speed and it will be light enough to throw around a bit!
*mostly that it will be used on a kart track not a full-size race track ____________________ The purpose of life is to fight maturity. |
