LAWL.

I've yet to find a 125 similar to the Varadero, and I've ridden a few 125s.

It has smoother delivery than a single, its seems to be going on forever, its one of the quickest 4 strokes.

Compare it to a VanVan, the slowest of the 4 strokes.

This MSX125 should be pretty awesome, especially as they are using the flat engine... 140/160 slots in boi.

Thinking

100mph RS125

75mph Varadero

50-55mph VanVan

Right, definitely not a lot in it.

I commute on it every day on the motorway.

It sits at the rev limiter (or a gnats cock away from it) for 30 miles each way...

It did that in the snow, it did that 2 months ago. It is a great bike, best 125 I've ever owned.

Maybe in years to come in can be second to a sports bike as a town runabout. Or put some off road tyres on for some lulz Mr. Green

@JiveBunny - what's your issue? You don't seem to get on with Paddy, and I'd quite like to know why. Pass the popcorn

If you've seen the video you'll realize how deceptive that picture actually is. The MSX doesn't appear to be any smaller than a CG125 - or it's being ridden by a perfectly proportioned tiny person.

Is a Thai rider though (I assume), so size is still questionable.

It is a small bike, far smaller than a CG. Getting on to between the KTM 65 and 85
