the site. Thanks John

The best and only place to use a RS is on the race track.
Buy an Apprilia 125 road bike.

the carb. Have to use race gas and pre-mix the oil into a small tank.
You have to abuse the clutch to get it moving, not good in stop and go
traffic. A charging system would ruin the free revving nature of the
motor.
But you only live once so...
Jam a XR100 motor in the frame. It doesn't have to look good or work,
just get you thru the DOT inspection because that two stroke won't be
legal, put it back in when you get home. You will have to rig up a
charging system, there are XR only places that specialize in that. You
will need mirrors, brake and turnsignals plus switches, and a
headlight. Just mount a headlight to the frame and when you get your
license lose it and get one of those headlight stickers that you see
on racecars and stick it on the fairing. I don't know what you would
do about DOT tires, Rains? Get a bicycle speedometer. You also need a
horn and a side stand.
When you get the thing registered, you can take off all that extra
crap. Then you can go out and enjoy the rarest and probably the most
horrible streetbike ever. Better off getting a TZ or RS250.

spend both to prove it to yourself, even if it's flying in the face of
better thinking.
You'd probably better off buying someones super-motad; about the same
power and weight, but a little less maintenance.
Have fun.

Your mad.
They can't get out of their own way from a stop and
you'll be replacing pistons and cranks every month.
Never mind the issues of getting lights on the thing
(there's no alternator) and getting it licensed.
Better idea is to try and get one of the road going
Aprilia 125s or better yet, a 250.

I dont know much about this Honda RS125 but I thought RS125 is for
Aprilia and Honda has those NSR50/125...etc. Am I right?..I would like

RS-125 and RS-250s are Honda's "track only" machines. No
lights, no street gear at all. I think Honda calls their street
2 strokes NS 125R and NS 250R. As opposed to the NSR's
that are at the GP level. So many letters to sort out! :P
