They need much more maintenance than an RS or MITO I'd be pretty sure. The RS and Mito are road bikes and have sensible service intervals comparable to bigger sports bikes, I'd say.

The EXC is a competition enduro bike that makes a fair bit more power than the road bikes and weighs a fair bit less.

Should be a very capable bike on or off road.

As standard, doubt they are legal for a 33hp licence.

Damn, so not a good everyday bike then?

I would be using after passing the new test coming in October which allows any 125 regardless of power. Thumbs Up

Just rated your post as funny instead of helpful. Laughing

The maintenance they need is still fairly simple. You will need to be a bit more careful, but given the choice, providing you're not going to be doing mostly really short journeys (my ride to work is 1.4miles on a motorbike), I'd still probably choose one of them over other 125s.

Someone who works in the Porsche HQ down the road from my work commutes on a Husky 125 that's similar.
