all the geard 2stroke sports 125 are as bad as each other really, the nsr is probably the best behaved and me minor and terro for good reason find the rs to be the worst affender (fixing electronics in the rain shocking, no litraly)
sorry but wtf man i had one for a year n mine was fine thats like sayin dont buy a 4x4 my m8s once broke down lol
Compared my mates NSR to a dudes CBR 125 up college no comparison CBR is much nicer sounding. Might just get a 125 4 stroke like a YBR or GN and run it into the ground, at least will give me chance to work on the ped as i won't be fixing a bloody 125
any single cylinder 125 4t sounds SHIT to be fair and looks slow as fuck they all sounds like really soft yet loud farts only thing i would touch would be a inline straight 4 cylinder layout and have to be above 400+ in terms of 4t listen to an old gixser with a micron on them phwaooor....
To be honest might stick with a 4 stroker for the sake of not killing myself and have a stress free ownership. The scooter will still be hidden in my shed besides for a bit of weekend fun
even though with a 4 stroke you have the added unreliability of valves; 2 strokes are reliable provided you don't abuse them; run them flat out all day without letting them warm up and expect unreliability. My suzuki rg 125 is a 20 year old two stroke, never seized/failed to start etc etc, touch wood
