Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.

Sounds like it could be a fun bike, but a 125cc 4-stroke will have hardly any power. Pump it up to a 250 and it looks like it could be a lot of fun.

It did me good for a fair while, really good fun bike. Not the quickest ever but it held on in the corners nicely!

I think it'd be fun on a track, you could wring the heck out of it pretty safely, but I don't think I'd want one to ride around on the streets. That and $4k for that seems like a lot...

13.5hp @ 10k    ....smokin!

Saw one in Montreal a couple weeks ago.   It has a very skinny back tire.   The bike looks nice, but it's really just a dressed-up scooter.  IMO.

13 hp.   Imagine what that will be like in a strong headwind...
On those days when life is a little too much and nothing seems to be going right, I pause for a moment to ponder the wise last words of my grandfather:  "I wonder where the mother bear is?"

Hmmmm wonder if I could wedge a CRF450R engine in that frame.

Can you say baby hooligan machine.
Why didn't you just go the whole way and buy me a f@#king Kawasaki you bastards.

that skinny rear tire is on a skinny rear wheel...almost no unsprung weight.  sure it only has 14hp but it only weighs 230lbs.

PGM-FI on a liquid cooled 125, it may be smalll but it's not built cheaply. This would be a fun toy to have in the garage. Dont know about that 100 rear though....hmmm I have a spare swingarm for the 954 wonder if  it could be wedged in there to mount a 190 rear?

It is a small rear tyre, but mine only over let me down twice (nothing major), and that was my fault on both occasions, it spun on some loose chippings the first time and the second I opened it up too quick on slippery bend.

I had 87mph indicated out of it, with a tailwind and down a steep ass hill, tucked right in. In a headwind it struggled to get over 65  :laugh:. Not the best bike for long haul cruising.

That would be cool...

A guy over on thumpertalk put a KLX400 (drz) motor in Aprilia RS50...  it looked like one sweet little bike.
