maybe not that colour but yes the rs 125 2006 thing i wonna know is what race pipes would be good for it ? if you say it will make it sound better ?

Get yer sen an Arrow end can. That will do nicely. Get it derestricted and fit some race reeds. Job done.

Don't bother with an 06 one, its just a waste, get an 03 ish one then its much much more cheaper

my nsr 125 has a power band from around 9000 onwards and i love the sound around there.

Surely you can feel the power valve start to open at 6000rpm? It may be a bigger hit at 9000rpm but you should notice it at aorund 6-6500 rpm.

If it was me I would go for a NSR too. Honda dealers are easy to find and stock all parts for any age of bike.

The NSR has been the roughly the same build for over 10 years so parts are easy to find.

Also if going down the 2 stroke route it's best if you know someone with a bit of mechanical know how.

Make sure you warm the engine up for at least 5 minutes before opening it up. I managed to get 20,000 miles out of my NSR before an engine rebuild and I used to thrash mine about like I stole it.

ye. you start to feel it around 6000 but its nothing compared with what i get around 9000 onwards. no vibration just the sound, mmmmm...

and ye its really vital to warm it up. Or atleast a bit and ride it carefully, under 5000 rpm ( as advised by someone on OcUK)
