Seemed an absolute **** when he was doing restaurant reviews. Calm down dear!!!

Thanks for your help. No wonder I couldn't find it I thought it was a Remington.

I have done a search as mentioned above and can't find it. I have tried.

Hi All I recently read a post on a new .17 that was somewhere between a HMR and Hornet but I can't find it now. Does anyone remember this or has one they could give some info on. Thanks Ydp

How long would it take to dispatch?

Alright, lets not get too excited. We have a bag of an unknown size, filled with an unknown quantity of birds of unknown species..... unknown suspects, unknown laws broken if at all. Keep us all updated :blink: lol

I first seen one of these in Preston a few years back and wondered what on Earth it was.

Well they got Munched

Erm...one bike??? Are you on drugs my good man? I'd hazard a guess I've had a bike from nearly all the main manufacturers bar trumpet and that includes 2 an 4 strokes, motocross, enduro, sports, naked, super sports, trials, v-twin, in-line fours.... Please don't leap to conclusions, as has been said by another poster with common sense - if looked after correctly the aprilia's will serve an owner well, the plastics are no different (grp) to other bikes , the frames were twin spar cradle alloy as per the 500gp bikes, the engines were made from total parts which were the British army bike maker of choice for a while...the common issues with the RS125 was a snapped power valve (called a "RAVE" valve) cable due to people wrongly adjusting them) and failures due to people throwing the cheapest mineral 2stroke in them... My balancer gear issue was most likely due to travelling up and down to college from Aberdeen to Edinburgh with mine at motorway speeds. It's the same load of tosh people speak about ducati's - yes they can have problems but usually it's down to neglect - and the jap 4's can also suffer this. And I am in no way biased as you can probably figure from my user name my favourite steed has historically been Suzuki GSXR's (SRAD and K models) Yes the Honda probably does have the reliability if you buy a CG or cbr 125 but to compare apples for apples you need to look at NSR125's compared to the aprilia's RS125 and I can assure you that the NSR was nowhere near the build quality of the priller - and I am entitled to comment as I owned Both of those! Regards, Gixer Oh I did mean the one RS125 you have had. No I am not on drugs it was re-built and maintained regardless of cost. lovely bikes though.

Fair comment bruno but when you loose your wife and family I guess he has thought about it a lot and then thought well at least I can go out shooting when I want.

Maybe some Chun Kuk Do!!!

Sounds to me like you will get your wife and guns back. Good luck

Not quite. yes every 2 stroke will need attention soon enough I was not saying that.... they are weaker than other options out there. Mine was well looked after and had the best of everything and a top mechanic to boot. four of my friends had one....they all had to be re-built.

Gixer you are only basing your opinion on one bike you have had. Its like me saying Hatson escorts are really good as I have one and it has never let me down.(no offence to Hatson owners) on a earlier post I said that Aprilia 125's have a issue with blowing up and you said it was drivel. My partner has a few friends that own bike garages, one re-builds Aprilia 125 full time for a living. I wanted to get one as was told what would happen if I went ahead and got one so I factored in a re-build into my budget. 3 re-builds later I got rid of it. Its not my opinion they are weak its a fact.
