    I really want to try out a 125. Too bad I'm not really built for it (over 180lbs). $5500 for that is a steal!

    Track-only? Why the plate bracket, mirrors, and lights?

    And a PASSENGER SEAT?! Why the hell would a 125 have a passenger seat?

    It would be a legal streetbike in VT.

    I believe Europe is banning new 2 strokes on the streets as well.

    Re: Who wants a small bore track weapon? Aprilia RS125

    Sorry man. Don't worry it is and the pirate is still sailing along

    Seriously though bike has been good to me. Haven't had a single problem with it and done very minimal work. Was awesome to ride a real bike at the track this season. Felt fast and never had a problem adjusting to it at all. Didn't get out quite as much as I wanted to with work and my foot getting messed up at the last trackday, but hope to get her out there a bunch more next season. Go to one of tony's days next season, I'll let you take her for a rip

    And as reliable as the RS or TZ. Bugs should be out of it after the 3rd or 4th year run

    My first bike was an Aprilia RS125 (when I was living Down Under)... it was actually pretty nice. State law restrict your first bike to less than 250cc (two-strokes and four-strokes); the RS250s were hella $ so I went with the 125.
