That'sa sexy little beast. I'd take one of those for a track bike myself.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

i was looking at its stats and specs...

that RS 125R makes about 30hp, same as ninja 250 but half the cc.

the old RS 250R makes about 70hp!!! :shock: that's the same as an SV650.

aprilia sure know how to make good bikes, both in looks and performance.

aprilia is officially now my 2nd favorite manufacturer. :laughing:

Well, the RS get's help because it is a 2-stroke... better power output, but it won't pass emissions. Plus, 2-strokes aren't street-legal in the US because of that.

Those things are light and fast!

BTW, where did you get the hp figures for the RS? The older ones (98) made about 15.5hp. I couldnt find info on the new ones.

Its a great starter bike from the power aspect but they are very tircky to ride as all the power is in the top end of the power band.And if your not in the power band then an electric wheel chair will be quicker.However that being said its a great looking bike :wink:

like divide said, 2 stroke engines are not street legal in the US so nope, we won't see it here.
