    Most Aprilias including the RS125 have one built in.

    No, I wanted a bike that didn't break down.

    The dash is pretty reliable.
    I brought a dash and a whole loom icl a rave controller and a good 320mm disc the other day for $80.
    Try doing that with an R1.

    The ones with a button to push are not very accurate. GPS or transponder ones are the bizzo. Can't bullshit your mates at the pub though.

    I have one of the infra red beacon jobbies, not sure of the brand cause the Mrs bought it for me (she also managed to buy me slicks, chest/back protector etc, without my assistance, I married a good'un) but it's been pretty good, personally on track I'd rather not be worried about hitting a button as I cross a line and the beacon is apparently quite accurate, matched the track timing pretty close.

    I have used the Race Chrono app on an old Samsung Phone. Free and rather good. I was usually within . 1 or 2 of the transponders at Manfield. Has sectors, top speeds, optimal lap time. I just velcroed the phone into the Faring out of the rain. Best bang for buck. Coz its free and it works.
