Not the worst looking bike I've ever seen.

that's in the ballpark, but a little high. AF1 is selling them for 7, street ready, otd.

If any 125cc's hit america, they'd have to be 4 stroke. I'm surprised all 2 stroke anything hasnt been banned yet.

2 stroke emissions have been getting much, much better in the past few years.

I wouldnt say "Easily". A girl at the Honda dealer here (Who happens to be tiny) took quite a while at WOT, with a good tail wind to hit 120.

I like the look of these bikes but unless you plan to only play on a track with it, they're about as useful as a scooter. The stamp on the case is what they need to make...250s.

I thought about getting one for my GF this summer to learn on but a 250 Ninja was the minimum after I looked into them. I ended up with the VF though and I get to play with that more so I'm happy too
