Is the RS 125 coming to the US?

[vsgofast]

Does anyone know if the RS 125 is coming to the US? I noticed on the American website that RS50 and RS125 are missing from the lineup. I figured the 125 would be a great little track tool to harass people with.

No, neither bike is coming here this year for sure....and I would venture it very doubtful if ever.

2 strokes are dying out. Even Trials bikes are falling to 4stroke more and more.

Pretty soon, lawn tools and chain saws will all be 4stroke.

If you look into craig's list UK you'll find a fella offering $1,000 to aybody willing to dismantle a 125 and FedEx it to NYC.

There are a few floating around on the USGPRU boards, but don't expect them to get titled.

As far as harassing people with it on the track, it's really gonna be the other way around. I've got a Mito and it's scary as the circus when people are passing you left and right.

I imagine the straights would be a very scary experience, the turns however, could catch a few people...

On the right track/road, yes.

I can keep up with my friends that ride R1s through the twisty bits, but I really have to wring the crap out of it (arguably, that's more fun and why I went with the Mito in the first place). Any portion you can get the bike upright, I'm pretty much the fat kid with asthma in dodgeball.
