    Looks too fast to be a 125 though? :-?

    (Oh ****, i can feel a ripping comming! lol)
    The RD500LC has a 500cc V4 engine - so has 4 125cc cylinders with 4 separate exhaust's, hence its sounds like 4 125cc bikes

    Yes - sounds like a scooter/moped, yes, will still give modern bikes a run for their money!

    Very light, very quick. 8-)

    Wont be surprised if large road-going 2strokes are outlawed soon? Made uninsurable due to the high emissions etc?

    Aye, I'm living in hope that they're not but won't be at all suprised if they are. The only thing going for them is there aren't that many out there so its not going to have a huge effect by abolishing them!
    Will be a real shame if it does happen

    Yep, not many left, certainly not used on the roads? Spares must be getting rare & cant be cheap to run?

    Indeed the cheapest 500 on fleabay atm is on the nasty side of 5k! The 350s are better at just over 2K, i,m considering one in the next couple of years. I just love me a smoker!
