Why do they keep making these underpowered supamotos.... The Yammie 250 sucks, a 125 would be a helluva a lot worse. Give me a damn 450 soupamoto.

Without actually knowing, I would say that they are designed for the european starter marked where a 125 is a decent size bike

Not only that but you are only ALLOWED to ride up to a certain cc in Europe for the first few years of having a license. Given that situation, I'd "settle" for that Supermoto or that Derbi 125, or the Aprillia 125....

But that also have a LOT of cool small displacement bikes. Like the YZF125R, the CBR125R, Aprilias, etc, etc. Real street bikes, not dirt bikes.

yeah yeah yeah, you realize my fiddy is not much off this bike in displacement. I would never want that type of motor in a full size bike.

Real street bikes, yes.........But a V6 Camry would smoke them. And I'm not sure I'd like to see what they feel like on the highway.
