Yeah but my BMX tyre is wider than the CBR's rear, doesn't mean it's shit though.
I personaly wouldn't have the Yam, shit is a harsh word for it, so I'll just say it's bad.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought you could not get any of those in the United States (or at least they are not sold here)? I guess I am wrong?

Common fallacy this. They tend to have about 40 - 50% more power, but use twice as much fuel to get it.

For the States, the new 250 Ninja is an ideal starter bike if you don't mind replacing a lot of expensive plastic when you drop it. I'd advise a cheap 250 with no bodywork.

I'm not sure, I think your right though. I think that the only one sold in the U.S is the honda maybe? Idk, they might not even sell any of them in the U.S? I barely ever see any of these bikes around here. Anyone know?

good luck on snaggin a 125 in the US
the last RS125 I saw for sale in NJ was going for 5K (that was 2 years ago)

there's a rs250/non cup for sale in CT for 7k

your only real choice for a small displacement new bike is a ex250 aka ninja 250 or reble 250
there's a place in Cali called scuda or something that import grey market bikes
but they want big$$$

Ermok_RS · 08-05-2008, 07:51 AM

I would say your best bet is a ninja 250r.

MXP1MP · 08-07-2008, 01:25 AM

Those closest you will get to one of these 125's being sold brand new at a dealer is in Canada they got for '07 the CBR 125's and the MSRP is 3499 just as much as the new ninja 250.

Aprila is doing a 1 time sale on RS 125's this year as track only bikes they said that about RS 250 way back and still even some of those got titled n plated. MSRP is 5499 and you'll be lucky to even get one if you don't have a deposit on one now.

hyosung only sales it's 250 and 650's in the state's and yamaha won't ever bring over the YZF 125 they claim there is no demand over here.

I would love to see street versions of like 250 twins based on say thier YZ 250F dirtbike motor.
