      @terry-tz Yeah the extra gears nice but like you say you cant really get much more out of it (without a big ass hill), its more of a cruising feature to take tyhe stress of the engine, very long ratio. Basically rag the tits off her till you get to the top of 6th then put it in 7th and it holds its speed but your not screaming the engine on a constant.

        Really fancy a Super-City myself but have the TDR now and prefer the Yamaha reliability over the Cagiva's.

        Built an RS 125 a good few years ago. Even standard full power with 34mm carb they make a really good sportsbike and one that you can have plenty of fun riding even with a full licence.

        TBH I probably preferred the RS to my old RGV250

          @nottsbiker Really? That's surprising.

          I would love an RGV250 😄

            Nice! My one of my mates used to have a really clean Tdr125 in the bright blue/turquoise colour he wanted £900 off me for it when he parted with t and to this day i regret not getting it, lovely looking and as you say reliable bikes. Not as fun as the Giva mind although as you say he had it about a year and it never skipped abeat once. Admittedly i was a noob to two strokes and mechanical sympathy when i used to ride the Mito alot which is more then likely why i always had it in bits 😛

              I had one of those - big and quite heavy with an awful cat in the exhaust. Not sure what they are like with a decent exhaust mind you. Hopefully my Belgarda TDR will be quicker that the Japanese version

                  @calum only because I was always waiting for the Suzuki power valves to drop into the cylinders and cause the engine to go pop

                      The holy grail would be the RS250, RGV 250 lump in a proper modern frame with good brakes and suspension. Serious weapon that

                        @finnerz89 RS250 Used the RGV250 engine as standard...

                              I've owned TL1000S, 996, Tuono 1000 etc so I know what animal bikes are like to ride 😉

                              RS125 was just a really nice small capacity sportsbike that's what I was getting at. Obviously an RGV will be quicker, but sometimes there's more fun in maxing a tiddler 🙂
