Nice, very nice wish we had these here. But the typical American thinks he cant even learn anything from a 600 let alone a 125cc.
Ahhh the smell of 2strokes in the morning.

I'd love a 125RR like this. At least I know I'd have at least one bike that I could get 100% out of. LOL!

Don't lose hope about 2-strokes. Much effort is being placed in developing direct injection 2-strokes that can meet emissions standards. If that happens then it's just possible that new lines of smaller displacement very light performance bikes might show up. It's been easy to ignore the fact that a CR500 engined Supermotard can humiliate a whole raft of literbikes and SSes up to now. Start with a line of clean burning 250lb two-strokes with 80hp or so and the performance equation would change yet again.

It was emissions laws that spelled the end of the 2-stroke street fighter/ canyon carver. Four strokes were never able to compete on an even footing. And they wouldn't again.

I beg to disagree. While emissions killed road going two-strokes, the apathy of riders towards them meant that little development effort is and was directed at getting them back in production. Riders voted with their wallets.

Even if clean running, light, powerful two-stroke motorcycles are made, I believe they will be made in very limited numbers and be prohibitively expensive.
