You probably havn´t heard of them, but there is a new company called ´megelli´, that is specialising in 125s (at the moment). They are very good quality bikes at a very reasonable price. There is a sports model that only costs about £2000 new. There is also the Yamaha YFZ R 125 at about £3500, the Aprilia RS 125 at about £3000, and the Honda CBR at about £2500. They are all nice bikes, but I think that the best bike is the Megelli, because it is so cheap, while still maintaining excellent quality. Although ´Megelli´ is a British company, so getting hold of one in USA or somwhere outside of Europe might be difficult. The megelli website is: www.megelli.com Hope it helps, LBG.
