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:

I might be wrong, I don't think it's as much that manufacturers don't think we are worth of the smaller sportbikes, as much as the general public doesn't think those bikes are worthy. If there was demand they would offer them. Just my .02.
