vinzz -- not to be a dick, lol, but i think the vast majority of this board (easily 90%, probably closer to 95%) is in the US, where the manufacturers don't think the public are worthy of the small bikes (and 2-strokes are widely not DOT-approved due to emissions). you'd probably find much better/experienced responses on some of the euro motorcycle boards.
that being said, the magazines i've read have reviewed the R125 well (pretty sure it's a 4-stroke, so it'll be less needy of constant tune-ups, as i understand the 2-strokes require to run at top shape). the aprilia has the reputation of being the most sport-oriented and aggressive one (at least i think that's the case, as i've never even heard of most of the other ones

).
lousy american dealers :shakes fist:
