CG125
NSR125
Both slow and crap looking and handling is nothing compared with the Aprilia.
Don't let people tell you the RS125 is unreliable either.

An RS125 IS unreliable if not looked after.

It's not hard to change a plug, tighten the chain and keep the oil topped up.

You would be surprised how many people would struggle.
Running the wrong oil can cause problems too, plus other things including not letting them warm up etc.

I do agree with you TBH.
Said it time and time again though between a group of mates we have now had 12 Aprilias and the only fault to date was on my mates 1992 Aprila AF1 80cc which blew up the gearbox when he tried to pop wheelies with a girl on the back

A mate of mine was a bike mechanic and used to love taking rs125 out on test rides and rs250 (think they are rare as fuck arent they? )

There are much better options than an RS125.
If shes looking at passing her CBT then any four stroke 125 would be ideal!
Recomended would be a, Cg 125 from Honda
Sr 125 from yamaha.
Then theres the "sportier" options of a CBR 125, YZF 125 etc.

I like the little R6 lookalikes form Yamaha. Not that fast, and tbbh its a big bike for a 125, but I bet it handles great.
Otherwise, RS125, Mito 125.
tbh, theres a few other small time firms now that produce race like 125's, but I don't know the names. They seem to get good reviews also though.

I was chasing after one of those R1 look alikes the other day, sounded beefy but I managed to catch him on my scooter.
2 stroke FTW

I know you're all 125 lovers, but I really can't stand the sound of them
Is there any particular reason for her to have the 125?
Learning?

Real men ride 1000's, or at least a 750 if you're slightly confused, but you're full on gay with a raspy lisp
My post still stands

You're right there. I'm not a real man and got scared. 600 was enough for me
As for the raspy lisp... M3's have the gayest rasp exhaust note.
