Also, 2 stroke engine is very simple, so if you are quite handy with tools, all you need is one half afternoon and a workshop manual..

oh, did I say it loves to be trashed..
i am looking at getting one...currently have a 2 stroke scooter and love the powerband , just need a manual gearbocx attached to it and im happy lol.
The derestricted RS125 sports 33 BHP according to the books , and hammers apparently.
If 400 per 20,000ks with normal use is all it takes then im happy. DIY guy can do it.
