Honestly so nice to see rs125s being restored . Got one myself and it’s so sad to see them in terrible condition from people not taking proper care . Great job 👍🏽👍🏽

Lovely, I've given the channel a break until this rebuild happy to be back 👏🏻🇮🇪👍🏻

Can't wait for the rest of this build - I have one I stopped work on 5 years ago and have just bought the bits I needed to finish it off - just can't remember where they all go now!🤣

Добрый день. Купил Aprilia rs 125 tuono 2005 г.в. Смотрю ваше видео по ремонту/обслуживанию. 👍 подписка 🤝

[mrvoorhees]

Should make a nice bike some good parts with it . I must admit I love mirror finished frame and swingarm on these. Looking forward to the series 👌

[nickmonkey]

Great video, I have zero mechanical knowledge but thoroughly enjoyed watching it
Love these bikes
Bought one new way back, most fun I’ve ever had with my clothes on

[jasongrigg]

I’ve just watched your video I have got the arrow end can in really good condition and I have lots of other parts to many thanks

Great video bro, I love the RS in fact I love all 2 stroke bikes

[ridingdigital]

Looking forward to this series, I always wanted an RS125 or Mito125 in my youth

[nh-wynk]

Great project, my first real bike purchased new 1998… Harada copy which was class … really looking forward to this

Remember to snip the restrictor in the CDI, make it full power

I've owned two RS 125's here in Australia, a Rossie replica, and a Spains #1 replica. The RS is getting hard to find now, I believe they were extremely popular in the UK. I'm nearly 60 now, but I still want another one for my bike collection 😁

If I am not mistaking the RS125 forks has the spring in one side and the damper on the other side. Fun bikes. I love the Harada GP bike look. Looking forward to see the progress.

Absolutely epic 😁
Had one of these when I was 19, im 42 now so was a long time ago! 😂

[andrewmoylan]

It's an awesome bike, from many think a better era, 2 strokes forever.

[Twinpot]

Great choice of bike….your taking a lot on, good luck and I look fwd to following the journey.

I've been doing a sx 125 2t for nearly a year now on and off, and I'm nearly done with a full nut and bolt rebuild . Blood sweet and tears but well worth it, only powercoating left on frame swing arm and panels need to be painted and she's ready lot of work and effect # APRILIA LOVE

[Fishfire]

£650? Bargain! Lots of tedious work ahead but what a brilliant project. I'll be following this closely 🤩

I'd love to see you do an older ducati project (900ss/superlight/851/888)

Did the Mille sell in the end?

[robertdean]

Can’t wait for the next part of this vid really interesting

[Robmd]

Ah great bike! Falls into my other favourite ones and also reminds me of my RGV 250 that I went onto after my 125’s.
