Cleaned up the front caliper and flushed the rather grim fluid. Would you believe these have a 4 piston front caliper! Again with stainless pistons which was lovely

I had an rs125 about 12-15 years ago. I got an indicated 110mph on a downhill stretch of a private road near Morpeth.

The Cagiva Mito 125cc had an official top speed of 102mph. At least in the full 33bhp guise.
Mine often got to an indicated 95mph, but I'm a fat fuck. I imagine a skinny 17 year old would have seen over the ton on it

I had my DT125R off the clock coming back from Manchester, then it melted the plug... Fitting twin rads used to keep it cool when worked hard.

Yeah, I've got a sofa...
I remember DTs being everyone's dream as I left school, never had one though.

Re: 16 Year olds dream - Aprilia RS50
I've never owned one either, but I have ridden a DT50, DT100, DT175, DT250 and DT400 over the years, but never a DT125.
