Seems they are turning their smaller race style bike into a nicer looking one, more serious looking, definately a hardcore 125cc bike lol

Holy crap. I would love getting my hands on one of those. That would make a diabolical track bike. Hell, I bet that thing is perfect for really tight twisties.

*orgasmic moan*

Where do I sign.

*gets down on knees*

PLEASE GOD, MAKE THE AMERICAN PUBLIC UNDERSTAND THE BEAUTY OF SMALL BIKES.   LET THEM IMPORT THEM!!!!

I'D STILL LIKE A CBR 250 PLEASE.
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

When I was shopping for a bike, I considered some of the several RS50s I saw out there for sale. They look similar to that... they're not tiny and to the layman, they look like a super expensive sport bike. People say they'll even get up to about 80, too!

Then, common sense won :)

Thats pretty sweet! If the price tag was abit more down to earth.....

holy crap! that's freaking amazing I'd buy one of those instead of a GS, cuz it would actually FIT me.. GS = too big... but damn... I bet it's $$$$$.... freaking hot though... freaking hot.... anyone got an estimated top speed for it?

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.

No two-strokes over 50cc in the US.  And two-strokes are frustrating to ride - they have literally nothing until you hit the powerband, and then they have it all in about 2K worth of revs (I had an RS50). I know a guy with an RS250 race bike who has to launch it at 10K - not kind to clutches.

I wish they'd make a nice 400-600cc four-stroke with the same styling and attention to suspension.

You could have gotten the 250 Ninja, I considered one but I realized that there is no replacment for displacement.

The RS250 is HOT! 250cc two-stroke V-twin with something like 65-70hp. I'd ride one.

holy crap! With specs like that, so would I! AND it wouldn't be too tall for me, like every other bike ever made... except, oddly enough.. a hayabusa... I couldn't sit on the gixxer 600 the guy showed me, so he put me on a busa, I could flat foot it.... he was like "great! I'll make ya a great deal".... :lol:  :lol:

That is a really nice looking bike. I just hope that lil 2- stroke is more reliable than my 2-stroke snowblower  :P

I can't get a toe down with a Hayabusa.  I had to tip the RS50 to get a foot down, but at 200lbs (the bike), who cares?

Just remember that the 70hp doesn't come all over the rev range, like it does for an SV650.  It is only between about 8 and 12K, and below that, the bike will... not... move.

pssst.... Aprilia.... put the SXV 550 motor in it... you know, that vtwin supermoto engine you make, thats already passed emissions...

Heh, It goes from making 30hp at 7000RPM, to making 60hp at 10,000RPM. FUN!
