as sharp as a laser cut steak knife, the rs250 more so.

Had one as a courtesy bike for a couple of days, great fun but hard work (if you're 15 stone rolleyes), great in the corners & could (eventually) hit 100ish mph on the straights but lack of easy overtaking would stop me buying one.

I'd think the 250 would be a better choice.

I ride a cagiva mito which is almost the same as a aprilia rs125, great round the twisties, as soon as a sequesnce of corners hit you will lose any bike thats behind you pretty much, just chuck them into corners with so much confidence and it will never un-settle, day after i failed my first bike test i went out with a mte on his cbr400, and completely out paced him.

Just dont take them on motorways 2 stroke like to seize up, very scary.
