I went around to a mates place the other day for a BBQ and some beers.
He had just bought his son an aprilia RS50 for his early xmas present (lucky bugger). his son is 16, i thought it was a really weird choice for a first bike. Surely a 250 would have been the go.
then it was helmet on and time to take this little 2 banger out for a test ride. Wooooo this is fun. you really feel like a school kid whilst ringing it to death. in the corners is where it is so much fun. light and just wants to be ridden at full tit everywhere. no top end speed though

but it is a 50.
so i have a new bike on the wish list. not the gsxr750 i thought i wanted. but a little 2 stroke and a zxr636 is going to end up in my garage this summer. i need to get out and ride one of the aprilia 125's to see if that might be the ticket. but i still want to stay with the small 2 strokes.
awesome fun, i'm almost tempted to get a little 50 to race this little bugger around the block on
