Out of boredom I ended up reading a review of the new RS4 and 2 bits made me laugh

How long will it be until someone buys one 'cause it looks fast, then posts on here asking how to de-restrict it...

The MCN reviewer forgot to use a spell checker.

Seems a well built bike, but 4k for a 125, oh oh. What is worse is that a Yamaha R125 is a whopping 4.2K.

I know Yamaha did or still does 0 % finance, but it is still 4.2K!

What's worse is RSV4 owners will have loads of mini me's running around

What for a millisecond? Then they leave them a mile behind on the road

Really can't see the point. For that £4K I could have bought both my bikes and insured them. Still, there will be some kid drooling at the prospect of owning one at this minute.

Looks like a nice bike. If I was 17, into bikes, and had the money (/parents) for it I would love an RS4. I don't get bashing bikes because they are 'rich kids' bikes. Is it because they are poor quality due to a high price or is it envy or something?

Anyone know how to derestrict it..... >.>

[MinhDinh]

I think it is because they are 125's.

Four strokes at that and they are more expensive than a lot of second hand bikes that are 600's etc...

One of the best bits about the RS was the sexy swingarm.


Why did they go for what looks like a box section steel one on the new £4k bike?!?

I wouldn't mind 250cc V2 or V4 in 2006-10 RS125 frame and shape (if they managed to fit it somehow haha) with 40-45bhp and dual front brake discs (with easy restriction to 33bhp for those who need).

I would pay £5k for it

But £4k for a 125cc with less than 15bhp is only for those with money but no brains.

According to August edition of Fast Bikes, Aprilia produces a race kit for this bike, which boosts it to 25BHP, reckoned to cost £700 & comprising of a new piston, barrel, cams, exhaust and ecu.

I'd never buy it. I would have wanted it if I were 17. I always wanted the Cagiva Aletta Oro S1 back in the 80's, but bought a TS125X instead. Couldn't have been more different.

I think the fact that it can be de-restricted will give this bike legendary status in (4 Stroke)125 world.

For shed loads of 17 year olds with the dosh to hand, every gimmick in the book is going to be used. It works for adults on sports bikes, we just have different levels of interest. Carbon fibre parts....for example. For many a great pose value, but it doesn't improve any performance (for many) so why have it.

How many power ranger types do you see that never go near a race track with a bike full of carbon, with race tuned this and that. You know it's just gimmicks. Gimmicks work, they sell stuff.

Leave them to it. It's not my money.

Sort of unrelated but i was watching 'Young Guns Rising' Starring danny kent and aload of under 18s down to age 13!!! in a 125 cc international red bull rookies cup!!

The bikes touched 220kph...140mph!!!

i know these are gp bikes and are 2 stroke...anyone guess at how much they are would be interesting!


and the programme was amazing i watched the entire series the have coachs, trainers, get the bikes and all their gear free! and danny kent is obviously making a living from racing in the bsb now along with about 10 other of the riders who have made it nationally and internationally in motorbike racing!!

But back on subject people all say 125's can only reach this speed and that speed but they touch 140? surley a chav with a large wallet can at least manage to get his to get to 100+

ive got a gilera sc 125 (2 stroke yamaha dt engine)

And i dnt know what fuel they ran to be honest but the bikes sounded identical to mine when they was stationary.


Anyone with BT vision can still watch serious 1+2 on replay each has arbout 7 episodes well worth a watch , some of the kids showed realy talent i esspecially thaught danny kent was good even though he finished overall 2nd
