Good Points

Handles like a dream this thing loves sweeping bends and will let you get your knee down. 0-60 mph in 6.5 seconds. Looks good enough to marry and raise kids with.


Bad Points

Maitanance can be costly. Make sure you service her and if you treat her well she promises the most fun you can have on a 125. Neglect her and it will cost you. Doesn't like cold weather starts to much (nether do I, lazy).


General Comments

Buy a full power version of the Aprilia RS125 as derestricting is expensive (you will need at least a 125, 33bhp licence). This machine is more fun than you think. Very light alloy frame. mine is 10 years old and I just can ' t bring myself to sell her. Advise buying the new Haynes manual. Keep on top of oil changes. Don ' t use cheap two stroke oil, with diablo tyres (my recommendation) and 60 miles to the gallon this is a winner with noticeable racing thoroughbred. Don ' t forget to let the engine warm up to 33 degrees or she will cut out when you drop the revs in cold winter weather.
