Yeah Mito - it's beginning to be a dated bike but still turns heads more than the others

Hi

Mito Evo is a lovely looking bike. Far better looking than the 916 that is is based on.

Latest RS is good looking, as was the original RS. Ones from about 1997 onwards look pretty awful.

All the best

Keith

saw one of those in a local bikeshop. Saw the pricetag and omg the shock I got when it said 50cc!!!

Its the size of a 250/400! It cracks me up that they built bikes like that with a 50 engine.. Its like ferrari with a fiesta 1L engine and almost at the price of a real ferrari!

the one i saw was close to £4k aswell. cant remember exactly how much but it was definatly the top end of £3k Shocked

I deffo saw the 2006 for over £3k. I've had a look at the shops website but they dont have the prices on their site Sad

GT motorcycles is the place. They are well known to be "slighty" pricey aswell.

EDIT..ahh heres one..2004 rs125 they have for sale with 8k on the clock for £2800. You can imagine how much they want then for a brand new 2006 with 0 miles.....

hyosung gt125r, Sorry to bring this thread back up but this bike looks fantastic. I use to own a tzr125rr untill i was involved in a head on crash with a van then we were seperated =).

Now the phycotic powerband of 2 strokes doesnt amuse me any more.

I wish there were more threads on the GT125r as i plan to buy one

The new RS is a direct copy of the current GPR.

I dont like it, i like the fact that it looks better than the "Ive eaten too much for xmas, but ill be buggered if im going on a diet to loose any weight. Does my bum look big in this? Course it does you ugly heffer!" RS125 of late... but its still just Aprillia seeing that someone else made a good looking bike and them taking their style.

Either way it dont bother me as i dont ride 125's no more, and the one i did ride was an NSR125 which was by far the sexiest damn 125 super sports there was and will ever be. Damn honda for thinking a push bike with a 4t engine would ever be better Laughing

He likes it so much, he's even gone and put it on his avatar!

I agree - it's a stunner. Best 125 I've seen. Thumbs Up

The gilera sp02 is the nicest looking bike out of that list, the mito evo is very handsome but a little over the top for a 125.

If you mean the '06 rs125 then it has to be the rs, i think aprilia have the colour and shape spot on. The only other comparison for me is the new gpr but the problem is that it looks like a 125, it looks way too thin and spoils the sporty look it has from the side.
Well done aprilia

Although a decent looking 4 stroke would be great.

Really looks very thin doesnt it.... Rolling Eyes
Anyway there are reasons behind the GPR and the new model RS125 looking the same...sadly..anyway the GPR 125 has a modified DT motor, If u ask me a bit more reliable than the old RS motor. Thumbs Up GPR and Mito gota be the best looking in my opinion.

The Gilera GFR125 and the Yamaha TZR125R (japanese model not italian) in that order! The TZRR looks just like a grey import TZR250R which was an awesome looking 250 sportsbike!

Don't really think they look anything like each other, and they are not mechanically related at all.

Well, from memory the Italian market TZR used the frame from the reverse cylinder TZR250 which explains why they look the same.

All the best
