I find myself wanting an obsolete british half faired touring bike.

[jas67]

That is a 4cylinder. A 4 cylinder at 19,000 RPM has to sound AWESOME! I'd take one, but alas, they were never imported to the US. As it is, I enjoy reving the 250cc V-twin on my VTR250 to its 13,500 RPM redline.

The Aprilia now, I think you can get here, but only for "off-road" use. I did see an RS125R with street tags one time though.

The RS125 is still available in the shops here, sold restricted to 15hp, and
road legal. It costs just a tiny bit less then Kawasaki ER6n, or the Aprilia
Pegaso Strada 650 though.

There's also one Derbi GPR 125 2 stroke leftover (from 2007!!) available
locally, same story, 15hp restricted, good for 90mph derestricted.
Engine from the Yamaha TZR 125.

..and I was offered this:



for my.. this:



The only thing stopping me is my common sense (read: My GF.)


I would LOVE to have that thing!
Am I too old for that nonsense at the age of 30?

I do like the MadAss 125 - It looks like it would be great around town

I think anything with a shifter, especially on a low powered engine is a pain
around town. Great? Probably not. Fun? HELL YEAH!

Thank you!

Are you willing to repeat that to my GF?


That thing would make me feel 27 all over again!

How would that help? "Honey bum, sugar plum, apple of my eye, A man halfway around the world thinks that doing this is the proper thing, so can I?" Especially considering that this site is for a particular brand of two wheeled crazy.


As I have said before, A Girlfriend has no say. A fiance is a girlfriend with a ring. A wife is the one that can lay down the law.

That goes both ways btw.

Do it.
I'm about to turn 40. I look back on me at 30 and have no regrets about wishing I'd bent to the will of a girlfriend more. If anything, I wish I'd had less girlfriends since all my exes seem now to have corralled some guy into minivan/mortgage/kids land while I escaped that trap.

Would I repeat it to your gf? You bet. I'm not sleeping with her. What do I care?
