Far, far worse.

Think about the worst attributes a 125 for this trip could possibly have.

Nope, both of those attributes would suggest simple construction and ruggedness. Which are not present, not even a little bit.

Perhaps my (justified) fear about having to tow a 125 and an irishman all the way from the end of Dave's road to Spain are unjustified and he's bought something decent...

EDIT Posted at the same time. In no way is that close to an RS

I'll change my guess and go for a Cagiva
