Which Bike Aprilia Rs125 or Honda NSR125

[Ecla]

Hi me again second post on a great forum

I looking to buy either a Aprilia Rs 125 or Nsr 125 which is the better bike and the bigger bike, i have sat on an Aprilia and found the bike to be a nice size for me i was wondering if the NSR is the same size, thx

[sunbear]

Not sure if people will agree but i found the NSR to feel smaller and less comfy

I am totally biased, thats my rs125 in my avatar. Lovely to drive, fantastic to handle and looks good parked next to bigger sports bikes. If this is your first bike start learning how to love a 2stroke or find yourself a garage that doesnt mind you being at there door every 2nd week! (i have a very patient mechanic! LOL!!!)

lol i saw a cbr 600 or wot eve it was and it looked just like my nsr. it was at the lights and i was going the other way.
rs is a grate bike but i was told they brake down more often than nsr.
some guy on swf didnt have his rs125 long and his top end whent, he replaced that and now his gearbox whent (they got plastic cogs )
this is my opinion
rs is faster than nsr, girls might like it better than the nsr but costs more 2 de restrict
nsr has a similar top speed off about 100mph, looks like a bigger bike, got a better front end but i like the back end off the rs and its easy 2 derestict .
now thats wot i think and other ppl will think diffrent

i have an nsr125, its the best thing in the world in my eyes, ive done 200 miles in 3 days

the bike is incredibly fast even though its restricted (72 is my best so far) the bike handles great, and it looks like a proper bike (if you ignore the massive L plate on the screen ) sounds great, everything works perfectly.

only thing i dont like is the weight when trying to reverse it off of my parking space into the street, kinda hard to get past my parents cars, but still i will get better with pratice.

one other good point, its dead easy to service, i managed to recover mine with help from my dad, and when i started the most complicated thing id ever workedo n was a computer (which arent very)

NSR all the way

i have 2 say hes the nsr might be a bit heavy but i am week and i aint tall and i am fine with it. but my old dna 125 was heavyer so i am use 2 the bike being heavy plus it gives it a better grip on the road. i dont know how heavy the rs is but i dont this is gona be heavy as its like a raceing bike

[slimjim04]

Personal choice but id go with the NSR. was my first legal bike and had a lot of road experience from it

looks great too

I mean 'bigger' as in bike size not engine size , it looks like i will be going for the NSR so if anyone has 1 for sale let me know i live in the NW of England

[Biker-Kev]

Have a ride on both, and i bet you come off the RS with the bigger smile:D

NSR.

RS's do break down a lot despite people saying this is exaggeration. Two of my mates have had RS's which have both had problems (one completely chewed up the piston at 7k miles!). My NSR has been bulletproof. Never underestimate Honda's reliability, and parts availability.

[code guru]

[no_shad]

Both bikes de-restricted, the rs puts out around 40% more ponies than the nsr, add into the mix a better chassis, suspension, brakes etc. and there is quite a difference.

My cagiva planet outperformed a nsr on acceleration and top speed, and it doesn't even have a fairing.

If reliability is a major issue, maybe a cbr125 is worth a look.

Fuck reliability and comfort . . . . . MITO MITO MITO MITO MITO

Oh dear, looks like i've opened a can of worms ,

[dgk13]

I'd like a Mito if i had to choose out of the 125's..

RS VS NSR ?

Well the RS is a faster and slightly bigger bike... But the NSR will soon overtake you as your waiting for the AA to arrive...

Depends who you are.

If you're mechanically minded and don't mind putting the effort in, maybe the RS as it looks impressive and is slightly faster.

However i don't think it's quite as practical as the NSR

Don't touch the Mito (from what i've heard from the local machanics)

If you want a relativly reliable 2 stroke......NSR ALL THE WAY!!!!! (Its the choice i made and i don't regret it for a second)

Thanks to everyone i have decided to go for the NSR will post photos when i get it

[dgk13]

Feels so good knowing we've kept someone off an RS. Knowing somewhere out there someone else won't be scratching his head trying to work out why it won't start and things like that.

Good choice

good choice. the nsr is a good bike. btw i think mito's look crap. i saw one the other day and its a no and then 5 min down the road i swa the ducati and it looked better. sorry but the mito only looks good in pictures

[Steve - RS125]

Go for the RS125 - It makes the NSR look like a VanVan!!

I have had my RS for 11months now, it is as fast as hell (In comparison to its size) and it will keep with all the top sports bikes on certain type roads if you can ride it to its potential.

As for the NSR?? Does it stand for "Needs Seriously Renovating???

Id have the RS all the way, it will have you grinning from Ear to Ear. [/b]
