What model was it? RXS100


When did you buy it and how much did it cost? bought in march 2011 and cost £250 ( inclusive of £100 courier cost from south coast)


Good points? Its very nippy and being a 2 stroke is very light and can get up to dual carriageways speeds quite quickly, it can out perform alot of the modern 125s and certainly faster off the mark, parts are readily available off the net, tyres maybe thin but it grips the road very well and easy to ride through town traffic, cheap to tax and insure, air cooled so no problems with radiators etc.


Bad points? the main bug bear is the 6v electrics, although on mine it was very good that doesnt apply to most, brakes are drum both back and front so it wont stop on a sixpence like modern bikes, gearbox can be a little clunky but other than that no problems


Would you get another?I would certainly have another one as its such fun to throw around the twisties,


Any other comments? these tend to get overlooked in favour of modern four stroke 125s but the grin factor is much higher.
