Aprilla Rs125 or Super4 Spec 1

[jude has juice]

Guys I need some advice here. I have class 2A and thinking of getting a Spec 1 until an Aprilla Rs125 came along.

Now i can't make up my mind whether to get the super4 or aprilla.

I know super4 has more power and since i have 2A why don't I get a 400cc bike, but riding is not all about power.

There's the looks, fun factor, fuel cost and maintenance.

 

What do you guys think i should get?

[keyxblade]

get ninja 400R instead? got better looks than super 4 tho not as good looking as rs125, has more powerful than both of them. maintenance rs125 will cost alot, and heard its a problematic bike. super4 is much cheaper to maintain since its been around for ages and it is a very common bike. may be u can consider gsr400? it look not bad too.

If you are looking for a supersports bike, you can consider my R125, lol

 

it has the look, the design and the maintenance is pretty mild. But for the power, you would have to mod it.haha

ninja so rare. parts should be expensive right? just viewed my friend's rs125 today. chio ttm. but 2-stroke engine makes the 2-stroke noise plus the vibration. other than that the bike is a beauty and beast at the same time. you think i will get bored easily if i ride a super4?

[Fried Rice]

so which factor you value more? looks or power? although looks is subjective, but in accordance to your post, you would go for rs 125 if you value looks more. if you value power more, you would go for s4.

 

so get the bike according to what factor you value more.

yea, not only it is expensive.. it difficult to look for it too...

[jude has juice]

well i'm looking for fun factor too. don't want to get bored of my bike just one year after riding. hahaha. but rs125 doesn't offer the comfort level as super4.

tsk. what a hard choice.

s4 inline 4 vs new ninja parellel twin, the s4 will outpowered the ninja anytime

It's hard to get any of these bikes to their limit on public roads.

Super 4 - Pros - Alot of aftermarket parts,Better low end torque,Better power for pillion, More stable, Reliable bike, Good for long distance touring.

Cons - Maintanence not as cheap as RS125, 3-4bottles EO, 4 sparkies.

 

RS125 - Pros - Much better looking, Its a 2-stroker nuff said, track ready,

Cons - Same as other 2 strokers, louder and smokier then 4 strokes, not sure if the bike is known for it's reliability

 

See what you are going for.

seems like u prefer rs125. so go for it. If u dont like it later on u can always change your bike

[Silent Hunter]

Ninja go malaysia can get parts already. Malaysia got Kawasaki outlet.

[IvikaRazI]

From the looks of it you are already set for the RS125. S4 also has its fun factor. Try squeezing the throttle more and you are set to go!!! Then comes the 0-60mph & top speed. I am sure the 400cc will win in these 2 category.

 

In the end its your money. So the end decision is still yours.

[jude has juice]

hahaha how come you all assume that i already want the RS125. Isn't that what all of you would have chosen too?

[ludacris10]

for me money is king. especially in singapore. So i'd rather get a less "worry" bike so i vote for a S4

[tangmulong4488]

s4 la, rs125 problematic n sound like lawnmover

[jayz]

lol i think u urself already know which bike u want.. the rs125. no doubt everyone will choose s4. (ok not everbody but most). very easy choice. s4 got more power, cheaper to mantain, nice looking too(dunno why ppl dont like the looks of s4?) dont compare a naked bike with a sportsbike! sportsbike confirm nicer i agree.. lol! in the end is the money factor.. good luck!

I was in this dilemma too, in the end i choose S4...go figure

[keyxblade]

s4 la, rs125 problematic n sound like lawnmover

agree with u. s4 sound so nice. altho it doesnt look as cool as rs125. i am sure s4 has lots more power than rs

[lycan]

rode a rs125 as my first 2b and currently riding a spec 1 but upgraded from phantom..

 

I would say rs125 will be a fine bike if you are single, dont mind carrying bag for your raincoats, carrying your helmet around town and lean forward posture..

 

S4 is not as "handsome" as rs125 for sure but i can easily mount a top box on S4 and the riding posture is definitely better..

 

RS125 is not hard to maintain if you are willing to DIY. Spare Parts are expensive since it comes from italy..

 

At the end of the day, it all comes down to your budget

Haiz, if he wants to brag let him brag.....RS125 or simi sai end of the day its just a class 2B 125cc bike.

 

Hahaha, 125cc rider talk about can beat 400cc bike, if he rides a 200cc bike, can beat 600? if ride 250cc can beat 750? if ride 400cc can beat hayabusa?

 

Not forgetting the money he used to spend to mod his small machine can total up and get a ver S or a spec 1...

RS125 might have better acceleration as a 2 stroke bike but loose out on endurance.

I rode a RS125 before upgrading to Super 4 years ago. These Italy bikes consume petrol like a camel drinking water on a hot day. Needs 2T. Spare parts are expensive and not easy to find, as mentioned by some bros here. After my upgrade I never looked back.
