The Derbi GPR and Gilera SC might well be identical, and they do look similar to the Aprilia RS but these are the newer models. Due to my budget I'll be after some of the older style curvier bikes (as well all know that curvys are the best...).

That said I think the GPR shares the same am6 engine as the Aprilia, and I could be wrong but I think that it is a derivative of the Suzuki RGV engine. Or at least I think the 250 or 125 Aprilia RS has the Suzuki engine in it. But I'm sure someone more knowledgeable can correct me.

Derbi GPR has a Yamaha engine. The Derbi written on the crankcase is a sticker with Yamaha underneath!

RS250 is like RGV250 engine. No idea about the 125s.


I would buy a blown up mito and put a 350 powervalve engine in it
