it still doesn't make wanna buy one though. i don't mind the low power but im just too stubborn to get past it's design.

i've said before and i'll say it again... if only the aprilia RS125 R is available here. i would have gotten one of those instead.

that's probably true... but then the price will be way over $4000 after all the tariffs, shipping etc.

how much do those sell over there anyway?

£3,750 so about $6,910 + importing costs and taxes, but you would have a truely rare ride.

You guys do get pretty much everything for next to nothing. Mind you, £3,750 would also buiy a 2001 Ducati 748 Bi-Posta.

wow! that's expensive! :shock:

plus parts will be expensive too since it needs to be imported. not too mention insurance and registering a 2 stroke bike will cause probelms too.

no chance in hell for me to own one.

lets be honest here-

we are all entitled to our oppinions about them.
I like mine,
karate chick like hers,
dieziege likes his.

many others on the site who own them love them.

our [favorable] oppinions come from owning them and riding them almost daily.

you dont like them.

you rode one for 20 minutes and you have a friend that i assume owned one and said he didnt like it so you tell people they are boreing.

thats your oppinion.

you are entitled to it and free to share it just as much as i am.

you wont change my mind, i wont change yours.

/thats all
