what: honda

why: reliability

if you have never had an unreliable bike, then i wouldnt really expect you to understand, all i can give is my recommendation

NSR more reliable. Mito's have dodgy electrics.

Personally I'd say RS125.

scabzilla · Borekit Bruiser Joined: 31 Mar 2002 Karma :

Yeh, i would like an RS125, But they need a HELL of a lot of maintance...they need servincing every 2500 miles i think ? where as honda only need they every 8000

For looks and outright performance - Mito.

For reliability and useability - NSR.

never been on a mito but from what people say they are good to have until they start to fuck up, overall id go for the nsr for the simple fact which many have pointed out their reliability and typical honda quality.

= NSR

hi chaps

i have had my mito for 10 months now with out a day trouble it is fully derestricted gets red lined all the time and it loves it. it starts first time everytime, it as never let me down. thay are good bike if you look after them, service it every 5000km. there is one thing wrong with the bike the seating it can be a bit uncomtable on long runs, but dont let that put u off,and it will out handle alot of bigger bikes.

Mitos come with steering dampers as standard, which must say something about their stock parts...the NSR and RS handle pretty well without the need for dampers etc...

I think that NSRs hold their value better than the other 2 bikes...the RS and Mito have both had price cuts this year, and I have seen import machines (new) for around £2700 - £2800.

I personally think that NSR would be the best bet for most people, and that the other 2 bikes are trying to be things that they're not...

NSR, always honda for reliability, also vaguely cheaper to insure and run, and easier to get hold of.

TiN · Pocket Tin Joined: 14 Feb 2002 Karma :

Actually, as Robby has pointed out, another major selling point for Honda is availability...

...and the fact that there are more Honda specialists out there than Aprilia and Cagiva...although if you buy your bike from a reputable/large chain dealership, then there shouldn't be a problem anyway...

plus

honda is about to go with solo dealers, that only sell honda cars and bikes

so chances are your bike will be looked after better if serviced at these places

are sevicing costs higher at a proper honda garage than a little one? my local garage is just a 90 year old guy who owns and a 30 year old guy who is the mechanic, nice guy too and knows his stuff well. by the sound of it you guys live near some pretty rough garages.

my local mechanic is about 58 but he used to work at british steel where i now work with all his mates so he always see's me right plus the fact we found out awhile ago that he grew up with me dad Smile

hi chaps
the stock parts that are on the mito are what is on the ducati 916 breaks front forks same front disk same steering damper.i just insured it for £119 and parts are easy to get.i bent my gear leaver last friday morning i phoned 3cross motocycles ordered a new one and it was at my door saturday morning so parts ant hard to get. i think cagiva used to own ducati so that is why the to bikes are similar. all the three bikes have there problems, it is what u like at the end of the day. i like the nsr but for me the mito just won. and i think why the rs and the mito go bang is that when people deristrict them thay dont set them up right and runnung them lean dont help, if u set them up right the engine will last forever.

i believe that parts could be swopped for the 916 parts, but i doubt they come stock on the mito... its kind of like parts on the nsr can be swopped for parts on the cbr6 and cbr/rvf4 but do not come standard on the nsr Exclamation
