hi,
my rs has spent more time in bits than on road, lol.
but thats my fault for deciding to learn all about 2 strokes- the hard way - ie - taking it apart for no good reason!
anyway, parts are easy to come by & bikes easy enough to work on.
but needs to be run on good oil at £12 a litre!
ive used mine for commuting thru the winter.
needs top end looking at frequently, but if you change the rings often enough, you dont get much hassle.
full top end rebuild kit including barrell is under £200.
if its not been thrashed by some 17yr old chav, been looked after & you keep looking after it, shouldnt have too many problems.
in unrestricted form, it flies! (well compared to other 125's)
cheers,
GAZ
