the newer 125 2 strokers sound better for example the 98 aprilia 125, but i hate the nsr150, most annoying thing ever
very very true if you resepct the bike it will respect you, do something stupid and it will bite. With the liter bikes and some 600s you have alot of things helping you, bigger road tyres, much better brakes, steering damper, computer, abs the list goes on. Compare this to a smaller older bike, in some aspects its safer.
LOL! WHATS WRONG WITH AN NSR150SP!? that was my first bike! it was hella funny awesome thing to ride. I like the look better then a cbr250!

rs250 uses Suzuki 249cc block castings, with Aprillia stamps.
I had a 91 model RGV 250 as my first road bike and loved it to bits. You can scare a lot bigger bikes on the right stretch of road. Only problems with it were no bottom end, got going by about 7,000rpm, then was all over by 11,000rpm. If you had the money and had your heart set on a 250 two stroke, I would go the Aprillia because of the better suspension.
I went from the RGV to a ZX6R and loved it just as much. Quite a bit heavier, but the power delivery was a lot smoother. I have ridden a 2006 model R6, and that thing felt like a two stroke as the bottom end up to about 6,000 rpm was very 'fluffy', similar to a badly set up carby (Yes I know the R6 is fuel injected.)
All in all, the RGV is a fantastic bike on the right piece of road, but the lack of bottom end can get a bit frustrating around town.
I owned one and learned on it as my 1st bike, lovely bike, just a bit old now(I think the latest you can is 93-94 VJ21/22 if I'm correct). after that, I got myself a NSR pgm-IV(MC28) which I loved over the RGV, power band not as hard, but easy, fun to ride, better mid when compared to RGVs, still not without the thrills and excitements around the curves up the mountains~~
I've got a mate who had a 96 RGV or 98 I can't remember now, the latest and last model of RGV which you can't import in(in Macau), he told me that is the only bike which can compete with the MC28, handle better than the RGV which are in Oz.
thanks for all the input guys, keep it coming.
lmao
