Nice selection there, the Aprilia is definitely the winner for me though.

Edit: tell a lie I’ve just noticed it’s not a 250! (From what little I can see on my phone!)

That Aprilia looks great. A mate of mine used to have an RS125 Extrema from new, he still talks about it.

Yes it’s only the 125 . I fully restored it a couple of years ago So it’s a nice example. The Ktm is being sold this week as I just don’t use it . I will be putting the baffles back in the 1299 exhausts as they are far too loud without

its good for 100mph and really light so corners very well. Although being a 2 stroke i rarely go within 5 miles of my house as im always expecting the thing to blow up
