YZF-R125 or aprilia rs 125?

Question

getting my first bike and its between YZF-R125 or aprilia rs 125, any help???or any other reliable bikes

Answer 1

First point : King needs to look at his bike.

There is no such thing as a RG " V " 125.

The 125 was called an RG.

It was not a " V " as it only had one piston.

The RGV was called so, as it had two piston making the classic V shape.

For what ever reason you mention you want a reliable bike.

Then why list a 2 stroker !!

Dont bother with R 15, its a dog of nails and rides even slower.

The RG ( 125 ) was a piece of junk when new and is even worse now.

Buy an Aprillia RS or a Cagiva Mito.

Use only MOTUL 300 Comp.

Yes it £10 a litre and you will spend that twice going from York to Scarbough, but, you will get there 15 minutes ahead of your mates and have a nice cup of tea whilst you wait for them to arrive on newer / slower bikes that cost 4 times as much.

Answer 3

I would prefer the YZF R125 over the aprilia... Sure the aprilia is a little bit faster and has better acceleration than the Yammy.. but it needs h**l lot of care as much as another pet in the home .. if you are too busy and cannot take much care ... stick to the yammy ... if you have lot of money and lot of time and like the smell of petrol and 2t oil ... you can choose the aprilia ...

it all depends on your need... for commuting and daily use always a 4 stroke are better choie... yamaha 125 has sources doing 75-85 MPH... good enough for a 125...

if its speed that you are after ... go for the aprilia and after some tuning and adding some toys ... it can take you to 100 MPH....

Finally i suggest .. Buy the yamaha ... use it for 6 months to 1 year .... get good practice on it ... and then switch to much bigger bikes ... who knows one day you would be on a R6 or even R1 from the same breed ....

Think well buddy and all the best....
