I've got a new aprilia rs4 and I'm absolutely in love with it had a yam before and hated every minute of it. But each to their own
*Thanks guys, can't seem to get a bloody simple straight answer off the internet anymore,* *very helpful. Nice1.*
funny how they said the rieju is pretty poor but now it's one of the best 125cc in their recent magazine

YES, finally! Been waiting for this for ages, thanks!
it's like watching a race in slow motion😂😂
Finally, I was waiting for a 125 video for a logn time now!
I own 2019 Aprilia rs4 125cc for 2yrs now and I’m so happy about this little beauty it’s cheap to run, looks nice handles nice and still can do 70 mph easily !!!!
I had the yamaha for a year and I loved it. It took me to college and work through all weather and I passed my mod 1 and 2 on it. Then in the summer I went on a capping trip in the south west with my mate. So really the bike does it all.
solid video and review... minus the wind noise... much better than the last effort i.e. suzuki V-strom vs rivals.
Back in the 90 in italy we had 125 2stroke with about 35hp it was Aprilia Rs , Cagiva Mito, Gilera SP1 ...we where only sixteen and it was great...

Superb vid. 👍
this was awesome thanks, just make them longer please? approx. 11-18 minutes?
Thank you for the help =)
The best thing about the old 2-strokes is you could derestrict it while still on your CBT and I knew nobody that got caught, but on these things you're stuck with that weedy power output.
I got myself And rs4125 about two years Ago and the thing just falls to pieces. thats when it doesnt blow over in the wind because of the useless stand.

Which one of these would be best for Dual Carriage way riding?
HELP! I need a faster bike for Uni as i will be doing dual carriageway riding and aswell as inner city riding. I currently have a Honda cbf 125 and will be doing my A1 this following year. The CBFs lovely but will only cruise at 60 and that doesn't fill me with confidence as i fear it will harm the engine if its done on a long trip. What 125cc would be best considering speed and the fact in 6ft 2inch. Any suggestions or advice?
They all blew up on the way to the test :P
yea thats true but fixing it is part of the fun, you get to know your bike and you stay with it through it's bad times and its great times
To be honest that's one of the best things about two strokes. Is their insane powerband. It's like saying you'd rather have a non turbo car over a turbo'd one.
Hold on aint the Rieju got the exact same engine as the yzf?
When on small displacements the extra bang goes a long way!
yea i agree...i have a hard time understanding how the new restrictions are so harsh..
Reminds me of the days when i rode a moped and there was eight of us. Looked like you all had a laugh...
MCN showing how to ride responsibly :D
I want to get a honda cbr jc50 but is it crazy when i am 1.90m high? :-D sry for my eng.. I am from germany thx for answer

WHICH IS BETTER SO?
Wanted an rs4, got an RX 125 ... it's reliable, easy to mantain and delivers a good amount of power. I regret nothing.
It's not just the top end that two strokes benefit from. Setup correctly they also have lots more power in the bottom end.
Would have been good to see a CBF 125 or YBR 125 in there as well to see the difference between the budget commuters and these bikes that are nearly double their price
Good video.
Thanks for a nice review. I`m looking for a bike for my daugther and this video helped. Build quality matters for the one that has to pay ;o)
Man this motorcycles look so cool. i wish they would sell them in the US i'm stuck between the ninja and the cbr, they're pretty cool but i like the aprilia rs4 125 more than any of the 250s.
I have my r125 86mph most day is doesn't even struggle unless there's high wind so i don't know were they got 79mph from?

If you close your eyes it sounds like a lawnmower race! lol
I'd suggest looking into a 2009 Aprillia rs125. 2 stroke. My one hits just over 100mph on a straight. Great little bike
so im 17 and i'll have to do another test to get a 125?
Is the rieju standard in this vid
Love the vids guys, but the wind noise in the recording is simply unacceptable!!!
read about this in this weeks edition!
@laconchtumare thats all that's in there and it's a 4stroke?
Needed a Cagiva Mito for some 2stroke goodness.
what about the daelim roadwin fi or R ? cheap and fast
CBF125 or CBR125R after just passing a CBT any help?
So which one should I buy? The yamaha or aprilia??
How could I get one of these bikes in the United States with out paying a fortune to get it shipped over seas?
im stuck on what bike I want I really want the aprilia rs4 125 but also want the Yamaha yzf r125 can I have some opinions on what you think of both bikes anyone
Yamaha's built quality is really impressive, I remmember when I had Suzuki GSXR 600 SRAD for a year and I thought it was real good, then I got a year older 99 R6 and the difference in build quality was immense, yamaha is impresive.
I have a rieju rs3 50 and the build quality and handling are great. My only gripe is the fuel tank isn't metal but that's not much of an issue really

Charlie smith old 125cc's were 2 strokes, new emissions regulations means they're 4 stroke and slower
I would imagine it's not so much about performance, as it is about fun on those little things.
I'm not into all these 4 stroke 125 'Sport' bikes, much rather just get myself a 05-08 4 stroke supermoto, probably slightly slower but I'd save loads of money and I'll be doing my test soon after! Win - Win.
But surely you'd have to account for the weight and skill of each rider
I'd like to hear you say that when all that's left of me is the two stroke fumes after I've left you at the lights.
what about the GPR ?
I have got the cbr and it's fantastic
i live down in swansea, i have a cbr125 2012 , lets just say it gets me from a to b and the rest :)
@1990SimS So true my friend, going to buy a brand new rs in February, hopefully there are some still around (y)
I got rieju and I have tried aprilia and yamaha but I think rieju is the best one. It's fastest no doubt about that. That guy said that it's handling is shocking but that's not true, it's solid and good enough if you're not driving on track and why the fuck would you? It's cheapest and it's not mainstream. I mean everyone always compliments it how good looking it is and everything. So I think you should buy rieju, it really got the best quality-price ratio :)
@9andrei2 i mean the slowest from the other 125 4stroke understand?
The RS4 looks like a RSV4 and it's a 125cc. I'll probably ride it like a scooter so performance won't matter. You have my vote there.
which of these is the biggest bike, and which is the second biggest, im 6ft3 and 18 stone. DENCH. What bike do you suggest?
how come you only got your aprilia to 75 mph, when I've reached 80 mph with mine?
I Have A Rieju Rs2 50, And Max Speed On Mine is 63mph Flat And Other Then That I Think It's The Best 50cc About Its A Sick Bike, Great Bike For A 16 Year Old Bigginer My First Ever Time On A Bike Was This I've Been Riddin 5 Months And Im Doing Great On It. Rieju All The Way;))
so which is better yamaha? i dont understand clearly!!
I want buy one Aprilla or Yamaha?
ni que lo digas! yo la tengo 1 mes y medio y va de vicio! tiene un silencioso IXIL y disco de freno delanero wave! ;)
It is what it is. The Honda is the best to learn on so if u get a 125 then u have Prob passed your cbt. U need to know what u r doing before getting a fast bike. The Honda does have good build quality. Mine is a 2008 that sits outside. No rust. Hope this helps?
i have an rs4 125 and its the best looking of the bunch, who cares if the other bikes are a tiny bit faster, the rs4 will get you more ladies and compliments then the rest, which in my opinion is more important.
Just brought a 2013 Cbr125r best bike by far in my opinion
But which one is the fastest?
what are these bikes like for pillion passengers? (obviously not amazing but how impractical is it)
Ok..tnx :P
i thought the new aprillia rs 125s where still 2 stroke or is the rs4 a totally different bike?
The aprilia should be quickest for being two-stroke?
Well yeah, but there are people that are more worried about it's consume and the money that you spend repairing, than the power at all. I must admit 4 strokes are slow. But with 300 euros you can upgrade to 184cc and you can't compare to the r125 original power. It gets a good boost I'm talking about the yamaha yzf r125 btw, aftermarket stuff come from Itally so it's expensive. Idk about the others
im 5'10,.do you think this bike fit for me,.and im 23 years old,.2 and half years experience of riding,.will i get bored of thos cbr?,.i ride 110cc motorcycle,.thanks in advance
Wow, brand new? My 2004 CBR 125 decided to give up on life and die sadly, the garage never told me what broke by they did say the engine had seized. Picked up a 2010 YZF-R125 for £2900 with 800 miles on it.
Theres a major point missed out... the aprilia rs125 can be set up with a power blade giving it around 29bph giving it a top speed of around 105-110mph. I owned a 2003 model aprilia with a 34mm carb etc and to be honest it pulled to about 119mph and 0-60mph took around 6.8 seconds when running sweet. Aprilia wins hands down
love my r125 :>
what milage can the Aprilia get from a full tank?

2900£ not bad ,in Finland yzf-r125 with +4000km cost about 2600€ :D
it kinda is, just only in some countries i realized that germany for example got a different system then denmark where i live, but all countries have a 125 cc max class, which makes my comment valid for the question.
@1990SimS true, but they only get fast enough to overtake me when they've been modded!
when it comes to looks, sporty sex appeal, Yamaha is king. the R1, R6, even that little R125 are just gorgeous. I would bet most buyers in this class would pick the Yamaha.
at last the rs4. first im a bit sad the dont produce the 2 stroke anymore because it was the best 125cc bike for bikers wo wanna have fun) but ok. the rs4 has the best forks and spring leg (?) and the best breaks. it looks pretty cool and the engine is ok. it also offers most to the customer, a speedshifter bigger tieres (what is important for 16 years old guys^^) and it only has 1 seat (maybe a special edition) but u only need one, its a bike for 1person who knows what he/she wants and can do
These bikes seem to be a little bit small, and the rider seems quite large on them.
