What you Riding now?? My passion started with the 50 too.

Honda NS125F red, white & blue.. It was 1989 and I was 17 ~ I loved that bike!

Owned the last batch of RS125 as my first bike, it one of the bike dream before i got my licease to ride it. Now i move forward and upgraded to another bike, i still missing it the 2 strokes feel and smell of the 2T!

Gilera DNA 50, what a great bike

My firstroad legal bike was an rs125 max biaggi replica 2011 the last of the strokers! I was 17 now im 26 and i get the bike back on saturday. I will be 17 again.

I bought an RS125 too for a lockdown project :) tomorrow I'll start the part one

Yes it was .

My first bike was a 2001 Kawasaki KR150 Super Kips. Mad fast two stroke for the time and beat every bike except the RS or Mito... but hardly anyone had those in my town so I felt like a king at High-school

My first bike which I still have and have almost finished restoring is a 2001 suzuki intruder vl125. Once resto is done she will be going to a new home and I'll be getting one of these rs 125s for a year before getting an srad on my a2

Good Video Ben, My first bike was an RM80 (off road) with a Derbi Senda (on road), I had one of these a few years ago which I restored for fun :)

my first bike was a Aprilia RS4 125, loved it.. i will get the big sister RSV4 1100, saving every cent i can for it right now

Thanks for watching. I had the 2009 RSV4 and loved it, the engine is amazing it'll be worth the wait!

My first bike was an Aprilia Sr50 and now I’m on my RS125 2011, they truly are machines!!!

My first bike was a Honda H100S. Bought my first Aprilia in 1989, which I still have. Bought an AF1 Futura in 1991, traded that for my rs125 new in 1993. Still have the rs125, and found the Futura on EBay in 2008 so bought it back. That RS looks like someone possibly put the rear brake line on the wrong way round! And very crudely painted the calipers. They are pretty weather resistant, so a strip down, thorough clean up and repaint and they should be fine. Gear lever is a cheap folding aftermarket one. If you have a pillion seat you must have pillion pegs for a legitimate MOT. The wiring loom isn’t too complex to redo. The original horns are pretty loud, but not sure if someone has replaced it or that is just the effect of the paint on it. Engines are the worry. Easy enough to do the top end. Balance shaft gears are a service part.

Awesome video, there was me thinking when I first saw it "blimey that's clean" and you've listed all the following wrong with it, looks can definitely be deceiving. Will be tuning in for your next video! 1 new follower here!

hi im going to start with my a1 license next month and just sat on this bike 2 days ago and i loved it. I'm 2 meters tall and while sitting on it it felt fine but do you know if it's maybe to small while riding? (sorry for bad English)

My first bike is a aprilia sr50 but looking to upgrade to a aprilia rs125

My first bike was aprilia rs 125 2000

I'm doing exactly the same, 1999 rs125. Wasn't my first bike, I'm too old for that! Does yours run.? Mine was original and unmolested, and ran nicely, but once up to temp' a while or after 5 miles it has a chronic knock, suspected plastic balance gears or bearing failed... Engine out time. Might as well do it properly. Lesson #1 check the engine really carefully, years of spotty knobs takes its toll. :) One more thing the swing arm bobbin holes usually aren't threaded, you have to drill and tap them, maybe someone got to yours already. Good luck!

I've got a 2000 model done 18000 kph , I rebuild it after 2500kph (bottom end & top end) , if you are doing yours ., go to simplybearings.co.uk for all your bearings & seals , much cheaper for Koyo ( the best ) bearings. The stand was probably left down to pull away and hit the ground, which could have made one of the bolt holes oval, one of the keepers before me did it to my bike 😒 I've subbed to watch how you get along👍🏼 If you tell the people watching what you're doing for the next videos then they can pass on their own tips, tricks and places to go for parts!💪🏼👍🏼
