Perfect UK backroads scratcher. Would love a go on that.
(mind you, yours is damn near perfect too as you can scream the knackers off it everywhere, mucho amusing, I'll bet.)

Good job - that's a slog, even when the weather is nice.

20 limits are the pits....
I bet the 401s are cracking little bikes.

Seven-oh-one.

That sounds amazing. Can't help you on the Aprilia front - I've some experience with the V2 and V4 bikes and they're pretty reliable. For solely on road riding, you'd probably be fine I reckon, even if spares coverage might be a bit nerve-wracking. Any off road, I'd probably be happier on something simpler - DR650, DRZ400, KLR650 etc.

Agreed - handsome bikes and it does look like some care has been lavished on it.

They're superficially similar to CR125s but there are next to no common parts. Porting, compression and everything is much wilder, no variable exhaust valve. Yeah, got the rest - it's my old race bike from YEARS ago. I ran out of money for racing in my very early 20s and it's followed me around various apartments (and continents!) over the years. The NF4 (pre-1995 bikes) are much trickier to get parts for but I've finally figured out a rod kit and piston for it so hopefully can go ahead and get it going. Just got the frame back from the weldor as it needed the footrest hangar welded up. I cracked one years ago lobbing it at the Mallory esses and it finally fell off altogether....

It’s a Honda RS125 NF4 motor.

Figured 20 years is long enough…happy new year, little engine.
I really liked my GSXR1000 K3 - you'd never really want to go faster. The K5 is even better but getting a bit pricey as they're so talked up. The K3-4 are the hidden values...sweet handling, civilised, stonking midrange and stupidly fast if you want. First bike I ever took to the South of France.
