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...

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...

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.

Rumor has it that honda will be coming out with a fuel injected dirt bike next year. I wonder if the development of PGM-FI for the little CBR125R wasn't one of the steps towards introducing a FI thumper motor?

Sweet baby jesus. Kick ass mod on the RS50 8)
