Title: 125cc Sport bikes Post by: He Man on November 25, 2009, 03:29:44 PM How can one get a 125cc or 250cc sport bike into the US?
ive seen some CBR125/250 and also saw this on yamahas website http://www.yamaha-motor.co.uk/products/motorcycles/125cc/yzf-r125.jsp (http://www.yamaha-motor.co.uk/products/motorcycles/125cc/yzf-r125.jsp) jizz. I want that. Title: Re: 125cc Sport bikes Post by: LowThudd on November 25, 2009, 03:54:52 PM There is the Zongshen ZS200GS in the US. I saw one today at the Honda dealership. However, it is a pushrod motor and made in China, so probably not what your looking for...unless you are anticipating a continuing bad luck trend. Better it happen to that bike than a Duc.

I snapped this little buzz bomb at The Rock Store a couple of weeks ago. Sweet little ride.

Title: Re: 125cc Sport bikes Post by: He Man on November 26, 2009, 08:09:07 AM the yzf is a 4 stroke. the aprillia is a 2 stroke. too much work to maintain a 2 stroke for daily riding.

The Zongshen ZS200/250GS is a four stroke. Don't know anything about them, but they are street legal and cheap.

Honda also used to have a CBR400RR that would be a hoot also ~
