Pretty much all 125s are hairdriers.

CBR is a 4 stroke isn't it? 4 Strokes sound better to most people. It won't go as well as a 2 stroke though.

The Cbr 125 is a 4 stroke but also a single cyclinder so it sounds rubbish. A RS in my opinion sounds more race like and has resonable performance.

Put a race pipe on the RS 125, it makes em sound nicer

 

[AlexG12]

RS125s are wicked. Don't bother with the ceeber, 4 stroke 125 =

Then fill it with Castrol R and stand and sniff the fumes...

Some clever spotty oik has bolted a Scorpion race can on to his CBR125 around these here parts. Sounds more like a 4 or 6 now.

Keep away from 4 stroke 125s - it's about the only time I'd say a 2 stroke is better than a 4! But the RS is the one to go for. However they do sound like anemic lawn mowers :/

They all sound like a bluebottle in a brown paper bag. Do your DAS

4 Strokes are too slow

4 Stroke Lower BHP, Even Power Distribuition - Longer Lasting Engine

2 Stroke More BHP Than a 4, Crazy Power Band, - Engine Dies if not looked after.

With the two stroke though the smell of the burnt oil drives me nuts

I went on a long ride with some m8's once and i was following them all morning (1AM) and the smell was heaven

Try sitting in the on-lane of an MX track for five or six minutes behind 8 strokers warming up!

Not fun!

rs 125 2006

You'll lose so much money on that, dude...

 

[INFECTION]

y though ?

 

[jon.bda]

y though ?

Its called depreciation mate, buy something a year or two old when the other guy has lost the cash on it...

 

[MouseMat2004]

Buying a second hand 2stroke can be a money pit. Atleast with a new one you have warrenty....

Also, CBR125's sound great with a race can, kinda like a V-Twin or Super Motard, shame they dont go like one.

 

[TaKeN]

I dont like the shape of the new 06 RS 125

The old shapes looked so much nicer

 

[Malachy]

id buy a cagiva mito tbh even though they have chocolate gearboxes :0 they look the sex for a 125 and go well.
that or i would get an old suzuki rgv125 gamma like i used to have, loved that back more than the rs125 i had
looks liek a bigger bike

i chose the nsr over rs.

i made so much hassle over overclockers in choosing and i didnt regret that.

when you buy it, make sure you put 50 quid extra on the budget so u can afford another 3 spark plugs and fully senthetic 2 stroke oil.

my nsr 125 has a power band from around 9000 onwards and i love the sound around there.
Although around 7000 it meets the resonace of my handle bars and the vibration makes my hands feel funny and i hate it...

and plus with 125 you have to worry about lowering gears a lot otherwise you will find your bike going nowhere and engine going nearly bonkers
