Aprilia rs 125 2T

One of my sons has one of them, a 2 stroke. off the road more than its on it, had new piston, crank rebuild etc. Nice when its going though, years back I had the RS250 Prilla, that was nice.

THE HOOF

Re: General Chat : Tue Dec 03, 2019 7:01 am  

Had a Honda CB125 twin. Not super dream. Was a 4 stroke not particularly quick from the off compared to Kwacks and Suks but it had some torque and kept going.
It was handy as I learnt some nice puddle ox and acet welding lines from it. As soon as I passed my driving test...I got shut...

Near fecking killed me.

I had a 650 Ajs in the late 60s early 70s followed by a Bonny. then found it was warmer by car.
I tried the same again in the mid 80s with a 250 Honda for work then ,when winter came , realised why i'd got shut of my previous bikes.

Not tempted by a new Triumph Speed Twin with heated jacket and grips?

Hey W71

The HS Kwak, is that the full on mental machine or a toned down version? I remember my bro had the original H2 750 TRIPLE a few years back, it had been restored and was a total minter with spanny boxes and alloy wheels on it, originals with it as well. He regrets selling looking at what they fetch now.

I had some bikes I regret selling as well, Honda SP1, Aprilia RS250 to name a couple, let em go for peanuts. I also had a KTM 625SMC Motard a while back, bought it new from Robinsons in Rochdale. That surprised quite a few sportsbikes back then, it was so nimble, stopped on a sixpence, and up to about 80ish was pretty quick.

THE HOOF

I've got an old Trek 400 mountain bike. Pretty poor performance but that is probably down to the overwight engine that sits on it

It's the Sports Tourer Super charged one. H2 SX SE. Still I've had it mapped and unrestricted, titanium exhaust, no cat and its 215bhp at the rear tyre. Lively enough for me but not as mental as the H2!

I sold my SP2 for 15K in the summer. The prices are rocketing. Great bikes the HRC Honda 1000cc Twin.

What do you have against a Russian sponsored party that's full of charlatans and liars and that wants to take away your rights and make you poorer?
