RS250, what to look out for? - Page 3

BillETX125 · 07-06-10, 06:59 PM

ahh you would have done your test ages ago if you bought a skinny arsed cbr 125 instead of the stubborn rs 125 :P

GTR Racer · 07-06-10, 07:47 PM

I doubt it because a CBR125 was more expensive than my RS. On top of that i would of probably threw it down road on them tyres!

BillETX125 · 07-06-10, 10:21 PM

haha i had a go on one of em, its slow! not suprised as its a 4 stroke.

my last bike was a tuned kwak ar50 which has about same width tyres and it did handle well (still have it mind)

They're really nice bikes the ar50's and 125's, dont see many of them around these days, miss them.

So, what should i be looking out for, things going wrong, things that have been changed etc ?

Any advice would be kindly taken onboard.

Thanks
Brad

mate have you looked into a suzuki sv650s ? i'm planning to take my test sometime too also and i was considering a rs250 but a sv650s is pretty cheap thats what im doing !

anyway sorry for rambling on

are they ? damn

lol

maybe i should consider something else then lol i was supposed to get my dads zx7r but got quoted £4500 a year so that killed that dream !

was the sv really bad ?

GTR Racer · 31-08-10, 03:42 PM

hahaha, i see, thats a bit steep, looking at costing me 800 quid on insurance for a 03 - 04 636.

For me yeah, i don't like the look of them, and im more sports bike orientated sort of person, and the SV aint sporty i dont think, 120mph and thats it, jeeez, rather drop a 250 motor in the RS and go quicker than that.

mate i love sports bikes thats all i've been around but no sports bike is realistic for me to insure pisses me off and they can't sit there and go its because of the power because i'll be stuck with a restriction for 2 years :S

hmmm but 800 quid for a 636 ! might look into that lol

also was you at squires cafe with a yzfr 125 the other day ? your bike seems familiar ?

sorry for being

£4500 fully comp or what?

benjylincoln · 01-09-10, 02:02 PM

millekid i think an sv650 would be the way forward, yeah they're not that exciting but easy to 33bhp if you're under 21 plus insurance is (relatively) dirt cheap on them as they're classed as sports tourers.

If you participate in this sport you will most certainly suffer some sort of injury (perhaps serious/fatal). Before you attempt this sport we strongly recommend you take lessons from a qualified supermoto instructor. lol
