1996 Honda RS125 with good spares kit

I got this last year for a first race/track bike, but am now thinking of just doing track days for a while. It's an amazing track machine, obviously, and I'd love to grow into it skills-wise, but if I'm just doing track days I feel I should get something lower-maintenance (like an SV).

It's a pretty sweet little 125. It has a Penske double-clicker, and the spares kit includes a like-new stock shock. It also has a Battle Factory quick shifter, and carbon fiber reeds. The exhaust can has half a track day on it.

The spares kit is extensive. Pistons, rings, jets, spark plugs, sprockets in various sizes, clip-ons, various gaskets, clutch plates, a brand new Brembo front caliper, other clutch parts...lots of other things I'm not experienced enough to know by sight. Also comes with an unused set of Dunlop slicks, spare bodywork (lower, seat cowl), and extra used/repairable expansion chambers. FWIW, it also comes with an (emergency, weekend-saving) spare crank. It's basically a full snapshot of a workhorse privateer spares kit.

The motor is in end-of-season condition, and the upper fairing is cracked near the left fairing stay (at the site of a previous repair). The right frame slider is in post turn-10 lowside condition. Might need other little things to pass tech for racing also. I did the top end 4 track days ago. The crank almost certainly has a few more track days in it, but if you were taking it racing you should probably do a rebuild.

$3600 for all, or trade +/- cash for a sorted track bike (preferably an SV, mayyybe a 600 if it promises to be gentle, probably not a motard).

Located in Somerville, MA. Pics to come.

Prolly cheaper to run a 125 than a SV. Tires and crashabilty wise. And as your price suggests. GP machines hold their value.

Bike also comes with a spare set of wheels, with brake rotors and rains mounted.

Awesome deal for a genuine race bike.

Consider an 04 SV street in trade?

PM'd.

Somewhat interested in street trades (I ride an '04 DL650 currently, and on days like today could enjoy something more aggressive), but am really looking for something to track and am not looking to add much cash to get there. I'm definitely slow enough to ride within the stock suspension of a recent middleweight, but would probably find it much easier to enjoy a twin.

Maybe a Duc? 748S in Senna colors? Paul Smart 1000?

Thanks. I got a good deal on it last year, and folks at Loudon (and here) really went above and beyond to help me get on the track for the first time. It should stay in the family.

I had trouble uploading pics of the spares, so I put them here instead:

I'd completely forgotten about the new brake master cylinder, new billet clutch baskets, and new chain. The rear sprockets include a 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, and the one on it now is the Vaders' 41 or 42. There's one brand new piston, two rings, and two wrist pin bearings. Also a spare head and spare cylinder, both used.
