I've got a few race bike prospects still, a few RS125, a few EX 500, and a few SV650.
I've asked similar questions before about various bikes, but I'm still trying to choose. The 125 is still winning.
Is the SV very hard on tires compared to the other two? How is the stock suspension? Brakes? Anything to watch out for?
Currently, I've got an 95 RS125 lined up for purchase/shipment.. It looks to be the bike I'll get, if all goes as planned. What I've learned though, is that things dont always go as planned. SO, just digging for more info to try to make a decent decision.
Here are some pros/cons of each.. Anything anybody can add would be great!
RS125 Pros: full on race machine, easy on tires
RS125 Cons: needs lots of maintenance, not easiest to ride well
EX500 Pros: cheap, easy on tires
EX500 Cons: gremlins, possible to outgrow, not a race bike by design, more gremlins
SV650 Pros: ??
SV650 Cons: ??
