got $$$ get rs 125 n i means lots to spare and play with

 

anyway, i heard tt rs 125 is slow and high maintainence. true?

 

what nonsense.. who say rs is high maintaince??

 

Aprilia RS125 is likewise to any 2strokers 2b out there.. just that spare parts wise is higher cos it's from italy and there's no FAKEs part out there unlike sp/krr/tzm they got cheong parts from m'sia/lab..

 

RS only LIMITED cheong parts like brake/clutch levers, windscreen, signal lights, mirrors, those minor stuffs..

 

Maintaince wise it's all same throughout all 2strokers, if you r those who ride 2stroke wanna use $3 sparkplug, $8 engine oil, $6 2t, and only change those your sparkplug, engine oil every 4-6mths.. confirm your bike will give you lots of problem.. you feeding your bike junk and expect it to perform like a proper machine.. and despite those cheap stuffs and you're feeding your bike RON95 petrol or even lower, and yet you keep whacking.. in no time you will suffer piston jams and stuffs and you will blame that the bike is lousy and etc..

 

 

Italian bike needs LOTS of CARE & CONCERN.. needs to be kept well maintained.. regular service.. change your sparkplug & engine oil every 3000KM, use fully synthetic engine oil and 2t.. etc..

 

 

Cost:

 

Gear oil $18 (Rockoil - Fully synthetic from First Motor)

Sparkplug NGK B9EGV Racing $9 (from Lab)

2t Motul $22-28 (Depending on what you use, for me i use premix(Motul 800 Road Racing) so it's $28)

 

Let's say every 3000km takes me about 2months, that means inside this 2months my servicing cost will be only:

 

$18 + $9 + $28 x 4(Assumption of i use 1Bottle of 2t every 2wks) = $139

$139/2 = $69.50 Per Month on maintaince? issit ex? no what..

 

What could spoil?

Common items: Valve Break, Starter Motor Spoil, all these first motor/xtreme motor has 2nd hand.. no worries..

 

Handling wise, it's super stable and it's makes u feel secure wif it's good braking system.. thou not good enough for me..

 

Bottom line: it's still your choice.. ultimately you will still get a SP or KR.. which most are people like.. ahaha

gotten your bike yet?

 

Just imo according to price

 

1. Aprilla

2. TZM

3. NSR SP

4. Kawasaki 150

 

Go for affordability bro :)

Dragstar 400 classic & Zx6r

there are two types of Honda NSR out there in the market. Normal one that has a normal swing arm, and the SP, one that has ProArm.

 

just take the tried and tested route of mucking with an SP, and then moving on to the RVF, like everyone else is doing.

 

And maybe to complete the family, you get a VFR as well.

yes. basic servicing is about the same for KR, SP , TZM, RS. about the same amount of 4t (gear oil), all one spark plug, and the time to go through one bottle of 2t is also about the same (1 bottle every 2 weeks).

 

70 bucks per month for basic servicing is quite expensive for a starter bike. but i agree, the opinion of cheap and expensive differs to the individual.

 

theres no shame in buying a cheaper bike. neither is there anything funny about getting a cheaper bike either.

 

if anyone makes fun of my bikes that i paid for with my own money, with my own hard work, i would really get hurt and offended. try not to offend other people, even with the veil of anonymity on the internet.

i'm using an india-mari bike. its nothing to be ashamed about.

 

when the CBF150 came out, it got under flak for being a china bike. its proven itself to be quite reliable.

 

still dont like how it doesnt have a kickstarter though.
