Anyone got either lying around unloved they want rid of? Even a rolling chassis would do.

Remember the RS has the chain on the "wrong" side. KTM engines go well in them.

Yup

Plenty of swingarms out there to choose from, but that's one reason why I'll consider a mito too

Well the karting plans have changed and I have all the bits here to build a stonking 250, and could stick a 300 top end on too.

Theres always a Mito going on the RD forum...and more than one build in progress for inspiration and advice.


They offer a engine mounting kit for a 350YPVS lump as well..

Hmm would defo be using what I have. Got everything engine wise here.

Dunno which is made better out of the two? A lot of 125s are cheaply made but the RS looks decent

It'll probably be fine actually - you're removing the most troublesome item on the parts that go wrong list straight away after all. Just check for general care and maintenance, damage from being chucked down the road by learners etc.

Spares for both can be a nightmare, and bits are best sourced via ebay or a second bike really.


(Goes for both RS and Mito)

Hahah


To be honest I'd prefer to not be paying for a full bike when I'll be getting rid of most of it

Even the general care and maintenance bit isn't that much of an issue as long as there's no frame damage. A rolling bike or one a kid has blown up would be ideal long as it's got a V5 and not recorded. I have the generator and reg etc to run a battery or could run it with no lights or battery etc at all with a smaller lightened flywheel and pickup I have. Have a brand new 41mm Keihin pro series carb, custom carb manifold and vforce reeds, expansion chamber, different gearbox ratios etc. 2 stroke supermonos aren't really the norm but would be a fun thing to ride.


With a daytime MOT do you still have to have brake lights or can you literally run no lights at all?

One thing that could be annoying is having no autolube system..

None at all, but I'd fit a brake light for my own peace of mind.

Just a number plate and a red rear reflector for the MOT. Then a speedo for construction and use regs.

There's plenty of RS's on fleabay with shagged motors etc and plenty of spares as well.

I've got a buckshee frame and possibly a swinger if you need them. They're only any good for mocking up mountings etc but it saves cutting a decent frame up whilst you work stuff out.

Reminds me I must find some time to sort mine out as it's still sat on the lift doing nowt.

Is it not all or nothing though? For example if I fit a brake light I have to fit the rest?

Nope, although whatever is fitted must work.
