Why the 125 and not the 250?

Those are nice...  But my reasoning right now is: "crashing a 125 has to hurt less than crashing a 250".  Plus, I'd like to step down a bit from a 72hp SV650, just to regain some confidence (and maybe gain some skill).

125 is easier to highside than a V2 SV650... trust me....  im sure you watched all those RedBull guys and GP125 how they get ejected from their bikes when they do a small mistake with the trothle in full lean!!

Good point... 

Hmm, so maybe I should change my dream bike to a KTM 690 supersingle (are those out yet?)...

Although I have to admit, there's something appealing about a 250lbs track toy...

KTM Had a test bike somewhere in Austria but  they said that the target group for this kind of bike is too small  to have a production bike... And i agree, how many people want a single cylinder sportbike?

Right now, I'm just lusting for skills to use my current bikes...

Didnt understand that can you explain? what 250 they denying and what 500?

When at the IMS show in Dallas this year I talked with a Dallas Aprilia dealer about the bike. He said he knew there were 250s in Europe he thought but were not going to import them into the U.S. We talked about the subject of where he thought they might go with this 125 track only bike concept and he said that Aprilia had a 4-stroke small cc bike in that configuration that was for the U.S. but not for another few years. It might be just hype I have no idea. I'm just reporting the news. I'll also keep my eyes on TWO magazine for anything.

RS250 was available in US also as a track bike, they even had a CUP a few years back, you can find a used for 4500-6000 if you look in the right places. 125 is street legal in Europe and comes here with all lighting etc but as a trackbike, BUT suspension is on the budget side no adjustments to make.....

Not a bike, but call it lust.....
