Yes... I will miss 125. I always loved that "pack of bees" sound and smell. I've been keeping a really close eye on the Moto 3 development. 40hp, 250cc single cylinder, mounted in a chassis that is almost identical to 125. The engine is a tad heavier, but a fuck ton cheaper to produce. HRC is producing a ready to race NSF250R package for really cheap. It sounds weird as shit, but I want to hear them in person.
