Take it you never rode a 50cc race rep like an RS50 then....Faster than a 125 4 stroke and so much more fun.

Cheeky bu**er, it's taken me 23 years of blatting around on big sports bikes to appreciate just how good the SV can be......it's not what you've got, it's how you use it! Mind you, I've still got a big IL4 for the track......

ok, the rs50 was an option, but I decided to wait untill I was 17 (and I also had a job then) and get the rs125

that was faster than a 125 4 stroke too... and much more fun than the rs50 (I guess, never having ridden one)

Still the 50 was a real bike I just went for he theory passed before im 17 and test booked for not long after. The 50 got me ready to pass being a real bike and all

friend of mine has had a license for 7 years now, but after a year or so hasn't touched a bike, so only covered about 2,000 miles, kind of makes this nothing more that a curio really .

Cheers Mark.
