    New 2006 RS125 - The HOTTEST learner bike

    http://www.maxmoto.co.uk/aprilia_rs125_2006.shtml

    Alright kiddies, go get yourself one of these babies. They are being used in Europe to bring youngsters up to grade for the 125GP and 250GP bikes in a stock class similar to the StreetStock being run in NZ but with only these bikes in the field.

    If you are lucky enough to be getting in to riding and have a spare $10k sitting spare then get along to Mt Eden Motorcycles or your local Aprilia dealer and get yourself a REAL RACE BIKE!

    $10k? No waiiii! In TFA they mentioned that it is ~$3700 for power-restricted version and ~$3900 for unlimited version IIRC (cbf opening article again). I assume those are Merkin $? Our exchange rate isn't that bad...

    yep article is in Great Britain Pounds...

    What you are missing is the fact that it is the 3rd best handling bike ever (not sure what 1st and 2nd are), but if you got the full powered version you probably wouldnt need to bother upgrading to a 600 if you were a talented enough rider. I would go take it for a test ride to see how true the talk really is, but i dont have a spare $10k lying around for a 125cc bike.

    Aprilia have done well in the sense of developing such a good bike, of that capacity for the uk market.

    They will sell really well there.

    The thing is, at 17 years old, learners motorbike license, you can only ride upto a 125, very few people get there 33hp license before they are 21, so the kids with rich daddys will have them when they are 17, the high earning 18's+ will buy them, and most will keep them even when they get their 33hp license (full power they are 33hp) as they are kick arse bikes. And when they bin them, or blow them up (they will) and claim insurance (mandatory there) they'll buy another one.

    Win Win Win for Aprilia

    $6k for a 15 year old 250 is retarded. But who am I to judge?

    Try working harder. 10k is very acheiveable. Even easier for something like that. Its all about the goals man, and whos arm you can twist.

    Fark yea, thats the bizness... Id own that
    I particulary like the dash.. way better than the rs250's
    I imagine if you used that as a bucket racer you'd have an instant advantage..
    Confident the aprilia rsv4, IS the one

    Had a sit on one yesterday.

    Ooooo that's nice. Seating position is like my old '04 R6, and it looks and feels like a much bigger bike than a 125. But holy crap it's light.

    Tempted to pick it up and chuck in the back of the MPV.

    $9995 though. But by golly it would be fun to go tease the 250 boys on the takas. King of the hill. Until Pickles goes past on his chook chaser.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
