What is the FOAK's opinion / experience of these for a 17 year old? Compared, say, to an NSR, TZR, RS50 or Mito. -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My NEW bike 1996 Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr My old Bike 2000 Honda CB500 (for sale) M'boy's Bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X (Heavily fortified) BOTAFOT #140, DIAABTCOD #26
Oldbloke says... Reliability-wise they fall between the TZR and the NSR, in other words they aren't that bad. All 2-stroke 125s of that era are likely to be abused dogs, so be careful when buying. Whatever, you'll certainly find them more reliable than any Italian offering, and it's a damn sight easier and cheaper to get parts for them.
