I looked into this myself when I was first starting, but the big deal is that the RS 125 has a two-stroke engine. That means you can just fill up at your local gas station. You need to have the appropriate amount of 2-stroke oil to mix in with your fuel. It’s also going to be loud and sound like a chainsaw. Also, it’s got a really short range thanks to its small tank and fuel consumption.
In addition to being a 2-stroke, it’s considered by insurance companies to be a race replica bike, so you’re going to be paying through the ass to insure it.
Other than that, I hear this bike is really fun to ride…just not too convenient for around town.
