      @declan How are they not as good as an RS.

      Yes Scrim they're wicked bikes, engines are straight out of an RS which were used competitively in the SuperTeen MotoGP. Fantastic engines, not without their problems. High maintenance and neglect is usually their enemy.

      Ally Swingarm and USD with decent brakes to boot. Great bikes, far better than the DT.

          @declan They're totally different machines, its like comparing the DTX against the TZR. One is a trail bike, the other a sports bike, both use the same engine and parts.

              @declan I wouldn't say they're rare, but definitely getting hard to find decent examples these days. It was the successor to the Aprilia RX 125, similar bike, same engine just MX style rather than SM.

                  @scrimsmustang I think they're cracking bikes. But as with all Italian things, it's the electrics that are sketchy!

                    @scrimsmustang Top bikes for sure;

                    https://www.motorcyclenews.com/bike-reviews/aprilia/mx125/2003/

                    I have one partially stripped ATM. The MX's are not perfect, but come fully loaded as that review shows. They do offer many upgrades to the DTR/X's, much more of a track bike built for the road scenario. However, I wouldn't recommended it as a commuter bike, but for sheer weekend blaster fun their hard to beat. What year is it, any pics too?

                      It was a 2005 but i didn't get it in the end i decided against it, ended up getting an NSR125RR 2000 model instead that ive now sold.

                        @scrimsmustang Their becoming a lot more rarer these days, if it was a sell-on you would have made some £££.

                            @scrimsmustang The other thing is, there is no guarantee it wouldn't need work. And then there goes your profit margin.

                            I've yet to see a rotax engine that hasn't suffered damage...
