So most of the sporty 125s are very close to this figure.All of them can be de-restricted to about 20PS though.I think all are 6 speed.75-85 is a realistic top speed for them.Not sure on 0-60 though.Hope that helps.

Si@Fiske Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 course a cbr 125 isnt going to do 120.. rs125 is the ultimate rapid 2 stroke lol, but its £4k new.cbr 125 is more sedate, much more suited to what he wants and doesnt burn oil aha! loland on those facts only thats why lots more cbr's are sold than rs's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 the joys of a two stroke are the best, no doubt about it. however in terms of which bike to get the honda is the one to go for. cheaper, better reliability and build quality, more obtainable parts through local dealers, there are more local dealers! aprillia electrics are about as good as a chocolate teapot.failing that then buy the yamaha. because its a sexy beast. and they tune up sweet as a nut and still work aprillia are also owned by chavvy 7 year olds who ride around in tee shirts and trainers making bikers look bad.grim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I am a two stroke man but for the road, reliablity and fuel consumption its got to be four stroke :harhar:Even in motocross Four stroke has taken over I just love the power delivery on my old 250 two stroke, was savage Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BAZ2CRAZY Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 2 stroke ftw.my back,helmet (bag if i was wearing one) all used to get covered in oil fromt he zaust. ktm used to chuck lumps of oil out hah. i used to pre mix it a little ott, sitting in a petrol station mixing oil with fuel and shaking my bike about trying to mix it in the tank haha. used to kill sparkplugs though. fun fun. i may get another next year Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy_G Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I would spend over £200, tho i sold my honda 50 for 600, and that was top notch. My 50cc scooter did 50-55mph, so not bad. Just remeber if they are more than 5 years old there probally fucked as kids have em and dont look after them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
