some too cool beginner bikes.

[VermilionX]

seems like aprilia rs125 is not good bike after all
all the people says: 'Yes it is very fast for 125cc but it is very expencive toy'
always some problems and expencive parts....
also I heard that Cagiva Mito has some bugs....

interesting.

aprilia is active in racing so im surprised their RS125 has bugs like you say.

im not very familiar w/ cagiva as a company.

are the bugs minor? bec if it's only minor than that's still cool since the 2006 is a new bike after all.

i do like that NSR though.

just because Aprillia is active in racing doesnt mean their consumer models will be free from defect..and they are crazy pricey for a 125cc bike

[VermilionX]

i wonder how much that derbi is...

anyway... like i said, if it's just minor bugs then it's still cool.

hm... Aprilia rs125 can go 180km/h
that is pretty much for 125cc bike but then you know that it has two strokes!!!!
that is not good for bike that goes so fastttttt
because of that you need to change some parts very often and parts for aprilia are expencive.....
cagiva mito has problems with electrics I think....
some guy said that he changed his accumulator 3 times in 4 month....
derbi gpr 125 is £3450 I think

forgot to add
that these 125cc machines with 2 strokes just EAT FUEL

Yeah, I wouldn't take a 2stroke unless it was a dirt bike. Just my preference.

The CBR125(rr?) there is the same cost brand new as most used CBR250RRs. The 125 is a hair taller and narrower than the 250. I sat on both at the bike shop I loiter at. I'd pick the 250 for better fit all around.

[jmillheiser]

of the bikes you listed only the CBR125 would make a real good beginner bike.

the CBR125 is a 4 stroke. The rest are very peaky 2 strokes that are intended more for track use than street riding.

They all appear in 'restricted form' in the UK as learner machines.

I think the limit is 14Bhp for an L plated machine.

That said not a few of them end up unrestricted, in fact my friend Jo is negotiating to buy her brothers performance modded Aprillia RS125 rather than the CBR400 she originally wanted this year...

[jmillheiser]

the CBR250s are a real blast from what I hear. 250cc 4 cylinder that has about 45hp. Bet that CBR400 is fun too

[Jamers!]

They're 125cc two strokes mostly designed and built for track use. What makes them beginner bikes?

+1 a lot of those bikes have the pick up and HP of 600cc sportbikes, how again are they n00b bikes?
