Aprillia RS125

Thanks Zebee, got it sorted.

Am I sick for liking the smell of 2 stroke smoke in the morning?

"I love the smell of 2 stroke in the morning. It smells like it needs
a new top end again."

- owner of a 2 stroke needing a new oil pump which makes a change
from rings....

 

Well that's going to depend isn't it ? Putting me, (who's more than a
foot shorter than IK) on an RS125 is probably not much different to him
on a ZX10

(ZX10's are quite roomy for me thanks very much

So how roomy is an RS125 compared to a Ducati 450?

I find the Devil quite comfortable, and I've even ridden it Adelaide
to Mt Gambier with reasonable ease.

Bet the Aprilia doesn't loosen your fillings!

NFI - never ridden the 450 (and haven't been to Adelaide since you
offered it...)

I'm sure it vibes less than *any* 70's single

Well... yes. (But it's a good "sick".)
I mostly got that love of two-smokes out of my system in the 70s after a few
Yammy Twins (R5, RD200, RD350), Kwakka Triples (H1B and S2) a GT250 Suzook
and several single-cylinder traillies but I still find myself having
occasional dirty thoughts about RZ350-engined specials!
The first step is admitting you have a problem.

If that is sick then I've got it too.

Suffering withdrawal symptoms at the moment, only two stoke machine I
have is the whipper snipper. :-(

Trouble is, when you find out you have the same problem as someone else.

_I_ wouldn't have dirty thought about RZ350 engine specials, but I have
a really good mate who does. ;-)

Dunno. Since I had no chance of starting it, I've never had a ride on
the 450.

Perhaps this might help, compared to the RS125, the Z50 Honda is pretty
roomy.

I'm just guessing that the sort of riding a person who buys that sort of
bike is going to be doing will pretty much move comfy somewhere down to
the bottom of their wishlist.

about comfy)
