Honda RS125R- The Most Powerful 125cc racer?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

PetrolRevolt samples a wonderfully prepared Honda RS125R
Danny goes back to where it all began, a racing 125cc 2stroke.
At approximately 600BHP per tonne, this Honda RS125R racing bike is an incredible spectacle to watch and requires much riding skill and fitness to get the best out of it.
Made from 1980, weighing in at approximately 70kg and depending on spec, the RS punches out 45BHP, peaking at around 60BHP with top spec parts
The Honda RS125R was a serious race bike available over the counter with a starting price of £8,500. But to get the RS to a decent race winning spec, add a further £15k for top end engine kit, rad, carbs and electronics.
Danny soon gets back in to the swing where he left off, and where Danny left off 125cc racing is worthy of a special mention! Danny won pole in the last ever 125cc 2 stroke race in 2011 before the transition to Moto 3 in 2012.
125cc 2 stroke racing was the making of many of the best riders. The Honda RS125R has won nine World Championship titles piloted by Loris Capirossi, Dirk Raudies, Haruchika Aoki, Emilio Alzamora, Dani Pedrosa, Andrea Dovizioso and Thomas Lüthi, while Honda was crowned Constructors' World Champion eleven times.
Watch Danny make some smoke around the small Curborough circuit, and listen to the cracking 2stroke engine rev to the moon, change gear, rev to the moon, change gear. Relentless 2 stroke fun!

    Brings back so many memories ! The 125s and 250s were always really loud at the GPs compared with the 500s, mainly because they were spinning so hard, so often - the noise, the smell !! Great stuff.

    It’s good to see the last 125 pole sitter back on a 125.still have mine and still ride it on a few classic bike trackdays . It’s great to ride a bike with mechanical grip instead of electric controlled grip. Be good to see a bit more under the fairing in the video for those who don’t own one

    Those are so light and to get that speed from a 125 , wow sounds wicked too,you would think a tiny rider like Pedrosa to exploit that as those motors were tiny to pull a medium sized man .Dunlop hit over 130 on those.

    Almost right, according to Jan Thiel himself.... 54HP to the output shaft and 58HP to the crankshaft, and the fastest one was the 2007 version.

That would be great, specially getting them to high rpms where they sound the best, maybe even set up races between them since you have several. Would be greatly appreciated and YT might pay for it.
