Aprilia RS 125 (2T)

Surprisingly great!! – I bought this bike on a whim as my friend was selling one with very low kms. Oh my goodness!!! It's awesome!! It looks fantastic, rides great thanks to the Aprilia frame, that little Rotax 125cc 2T engine really gets going and even though I'm 100kgs, it feels like strapping myself to a little rocket. The gears are short enough to have fun and will… Read more

get me to a top of around 150km/h and I suspect more if I were lighter. It does require top quality oil, fuel and iridium spark plug to be happy, though and not a bike for someone looking for something that will run on cheap stuff. This is a premium Italian bike and will leave Japanese and Korean alternatives behind in almost every way.

Excellent – what you actually recieve from this fantastic piece of machinery is a work of art. Yes people ay it it a little bit more expensive but when you car dollar for dollar to a Honda VTR 250 the amount of quality components that you get on it is amazing.

It will use more fuel than a 250. It… Read more

smells ( great ! ). People will ask you why it sounds like a lawnmower.

None of this matters, it will give you the full GP experience, even commuting and riding well within the speed limits.

If you want one, get it now. The two-stroke RS125 will soon be replaced by the RS4/125 - a four-stroke with half the power. The new bike won't have the top-level components either. Goes, stops, turns, looks great. Hard to think of anything 'wrong'.
