General Comments
Fantastic bike I bought red and white my best mate bought black on the same day. Never get bored with its impressive speed and silky looks. Everybody thinks it ' s a 600 take the stickers off and not many people can tell the difference. Had mine 4 weeks now and in that short space of time have fit double bubble screen, tail tidy, micron gp exhaust and wheel decals, along with cut down number plate. The original exhaust looks ok but is really heavy and has no noise. Don ' t get me wrong sounds good for a standard but does sound like a 125. So easy to work on I fit everything myself and never done anything like this before. Top bike looks like a 600 and with new exhaust sounds like a 600 well happy and now met 2 other lads with same bikes so we have all colours. Handling is spot on lights are clear and bright and handles bumps in road really well. Overall 10/10 no complaints. If you haven ' t bought one get yourself out to the shop now. Don ' t be fooled by the replicas rs125 will break down all the time (2stroke) Hyosung GT125 look good but build quality is terrible they rust as soon as you take it out of the showroom. CBR well good bike but far too small and it looks like a 125cc and back tyre is rubbish handles really poorly. Hope this helps anybody in a dilemma cheers.

Insurance
So, if a driver with the $5,000 minimum totals out your $15,000 bike, his insurance company will pay you only $5,000. How will you get the other $10,000?

I disagree with this review because...the rs 125 is a race bike proper see moto gp 125 and is a good 30-35 mph faster they only break down alot in the hands of novices who dont know how to maintaine them properly
