Heels On Wheels
This little sucker just arrived in the shed. As soon as the weather clears I'm going to take it for a test ride, it's got a wet weight of 138kg with a whole 15hp and retails for around $9k. How cute...but not sure for what exactly....I guess I'll find out.
What do you think of it?

They look awesome. But at $8995 they're going to have to be well finished and have awesome handling and braking to justify the cost against a Ninja 250R or Hyosung GT250R. Apparently the top speed is around the 135-140kmh mark so it's not doing too bad for a 125.
It does seem a bit steep considering that the FXR150 was only $5k when they came out and they have similar specs.
Either way, I'm keen for a ride - but at 75% of the bikes all up weight I'll be interested to see how it handles with me on it!
Do you know if the engine is a 'new' design, or is it a re-tuned MX motor?

It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

The only reason I only ride in the Iron man Class is I have no friends left to enter the two man events,
my own fault really.
Forum whore
I like it
But do you think they should let a Women ride it if it has 15hp ? ?
Might throw ya Lula....
Crazy Steve.

It's absolutely beautiful. But its a 125cc and its 9k.

"Wow, Great advise there DB."
WTB: Hyosung bikes or going or not.

this is a stupid comparison as they throw the rs125 in but has some cool shots of the two 125 four strokes in use.

Not as stupid as you think - the rules in the UK is that you can only have a 125cc bike or some approved 250's on your learner/restricted.

No the rules in the uk state you can have a bike with 24 hp at stage one upgraded to 34 hp in stage two and so on (or summat like that, I dont know the exact hp figures). Thats why they have the 125cc range at all becuase of the hp restriction. They do it on a cc and hp combined rating.
Somewhere on the net it has a guy in europe riding a r6 restricted to 34hp to meet licence requirements...now thats just silly.

My 1999 Drive Code has a Suzuki ad showing a $3495 price tag!
It looks cool (definitely) but for experienced riders, 15hp would be... yea.
But it'll make a good learners bike (ignoring the price tag).
If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

for nine grand you can buy a brand new rs125 here.
