Well, yeah, obviously they're ridiculous. But since when does that matter?

I'll take one. I also have a soft spot for the TZR250 3XV (the later model).

I used to have an unrestricted fairly tricked up RS125. It was fairly unreliable, even when treated to top quality oil and thorough warming up.
it was a lot of fun, but one thing I would like to get straight is that the performance is not even close to an SV.
An unrestricted RS125 will NOT DO 110-120mph.
You would be lucky to get 95 poss 100 at a real push. (not bad for a 125 granted)
Also, because of the power band, an rs will struggle to break 5 secs to 60.
