[NUT]

[Sub Zero]

I think this design rocks sia.. Like a mini RSV.. I've very excited to see the digital display on this model.. The rims look good, plus i love the head.. i thing i hated about Aprilias was the design of the head.. This looks very nice... I love the overall design, and the rear seat also looks sweet.. Damn, so exciting..

actually, not aerodynamic lar. the styling nowadays is aggresive. if you want aerodynamic look at the busa - that thing was designed to travel at 299km/h for as long as the tank lasts - heck i'm now wondering why they did not design a on-the-road refuelling like fighter jets

 

the busa looks somewhat fat and well rounded in comparison. apparently the tail section was deliberately designed with proper wind tunnel testing - fix the tail section and you get better aerodynamics than with sharper front ends etc

err. i know this may be the wrong group, but at least there is something in common: they are both italian bikes... so, with this disclaimer, take a look at ducati's EICMA milan show revelation:

Hypermotard! 100+HP in one insane looking package.

Check out the exhaust!!!

 

Our dear NUT pointed it out...

[fibre]

Finally we have proper headlamps that work! Nice styling too

 

but it looks like the frame/ engine /carb is still the same, haha, did they mention that singapore will be getting the milo version?

[eyz]

haha guys..

 

i think this RS125 is gonna to be most sought after 2B bikes!!!

 

no contest!

 

our family is gonna be bigger from now on...

 

every1 riding the older model are gonna be considered as lan jiao laio!!!

 

oops.. i mean lao jiao... haha

[eyz]

this bike is definitely gonna be light with the new rims.. and the tank looks a little smaller than the current ones...

[mnphosis]

freebies similar to kie liang's.

 

Other than that, nothing much different.

 

Yes, the 06 model does look cool but it reminds me very very much of the old fzr 150

 

No stress at all on my end. I am fine with the 03 model but in the case of erring on the safe side, a thousand odd more to get the 05 seems quite fine as well.

 

This should last me a good 3 yrs before i move up to a full upgrade to a class 2 bike then

 

See u guys soon.

[mnphosis]

oh by the way, did u see the little text at the bottom of the advert about a 37bhp cagiva mito?

 

now how would that look like i wonder.

[eyz]

oh ya mnphosis!! i was about to mention tat!!! 37 bhp cagiva mito!!!

 

tough contender with Aprilia in the 2B cat.

wtf....... radial brakes? Nice GP rims. Try and find the spanish GPZ 125 and you will see the pressure Aprilia is facing from her 125cc domination.

 

Nice design though. Just realise the front forks are 40 mm (I assume same as current RS125). Old RS250 are 41 mm. hmm...make the hole 1 mm bigger and fit RS250 forks, anyone?

The '06 RS125 styling will likely appeal more to the Replica crowd, with the angular styling. I'm very much into curves, so the Y2K shape definitely does it more for me. The essential specs are still the same. I love the way they say the engine is tried and tested What they mean is that it's the same old Rotax 122. As for the exhaust - with all the stringent Euro emissions regulations it has to meet, I somehow suspect people will still be wanting a legal Arrow, heheh. What I'm really interested in though are the radial brakes and the racing kit. Racing kit... drool

[myxilplix]

Why no new RS250? =(

[cheng_xi07]

hei, anyone tot of upgrading? cos i am willing to exchange my Fn plate rs250 wif arrow pipes, single seater n new coe for a y2k version rs125... my bike has juz being overhauled as said.. all u need to do to get the bike in perfect condition is touch up the exterior paintwork n stuff.. yarh... getting a 125 maybe for my brother who wans 1 n maybe for myself if he don wan.. haha... yarh... he only got a 2b so we can share also.. haha...

[eyz]

Raf, 250 no more in production.. so ya better take good care of ya 2 stroke monster.. chengxi, heard tis?? no more liao.. keep ya baby!

 

haha

 

hmmm so come Oct 2006, is it rs125 or r6??

I live near NUS. Now, either JL or U guys can teach me a thing or 2 about the RS125 and its valve etc. Must learn.

 

Another personal reason why i chose the 05 RS125. It was the 05 RS125, specifically the 05 model that got the 2nd best in handling for sports bike, wasn't it? Now talking about erring on the side of caution.

 

There u have it. My number 1 reason for 05 rs125.
