Looks great, 4 stroke engine.

It's not restricted so the top speed is 80mph, it has a BHP of 14.6 i beliave. If you want it to go faster tune the engine.

General Comments
Went to see the R125 today. It is a dream. 80mph flat out, thats all you need to follow the speed limits. Very comfortable even though you are thrown forward since it is a sports bike. It's still extremely comfatable. 4 stroke, very reliable, more than a 2 stroke. More torque than a 2 stroke, gets up hills alot easier and proberly has better accelreation. Not as fast as the RS125 de restricted, but why want to go 110mph+ on the aprilia rs 125 when you proberly won't be able to start it back up the next day. The euro 3 emissions is in place for the Yamaha, but to get more speed than 80mph, get a new exhaust, and new exhuast will increase the BHP. Also with a new exhuast you won't have the Euro emissions restricitor in the exhuast anymore which would put your speed up :) Looks great, better than the aprilia rs 125, not as fast but better looking, less money and 10 times more reliable.
