125 Racers...


...I am curious if an RS125 could haul my 6'1" 230lb. frame around. It seems like you smaller guys go pretty fast on them, but I wonder if they could pull this much weight?

I'd think about buying Mick's if I thought it could pull my lardy ass around.

I don't race a 125 but you might feel cramped. I'm 6'1" and 191lbs and I sat on Neal's at VIR and it's a tight tight squeeze. While I wouldn't mind doing a few laps on it for fun, I could not imagine that small package / tires handling a guy even my size for racing.

That's puppet. He's fast. Stubborn mofo too. Crashed, red flagged the race, picked it right back up and met us on the pre-grid. He's a groovy cat.

You could get used to it and ride it, but it's not likely to be the best choice. The motards seem to pull the big guys around pretty well.

I should safety wire mine up and we could have a competition to see who doesn't come in last in Motards.

The Aprilia RS250's arn't that pricey in comparison, are they? My friend Zina and her ex-Man God used to race them.

Arcy Kusari (AM 154 Black and yellow R6) is selling one, and he pits across from us in the DNF corner of the infield.

Dude, get a 125! learning to race is hard enough without leanring a bike no one else has at the track. I wouldn't ride that thing on track at this point until I knew it was functioning properly... Take it to a huge parking lot somewhere and get the jetting in the ballpark.

I will even transport your bike to the track! Lets get that thing to the track!

Puppet pitted with us so you'll have company.
