the way u put the sponsor in this vid is vexing. Just keep it in one single segment so it can be easily skipped without much fuss

[@louietravers9283]

I actually started to enjoy guessing if the end of a sentence would be a quad lock ad or not 😂

[@earlebird4262]

Too many ads

[@stevenkelby2169]

I didn't. The whole video felt like a sneaky ad. Unsubbed.

[@maomekat7969]

Too many ads

[@yojimbo21]

Quadlock got their money out of this one…

[@rafaellastracom6411]

lmao...

[@BioSurge]

Especially since just entering your e-mail address on their site gets you 10% off too.

[@hendrikvanzyl2689]

For sure, was funny, was having a lekker laugh!

[@Lyfeel]

Confused whether this is about him selling the RS 125 or the whole thing is about Quad Lock. Anyway, hope you did sell it to a 16 yo! :D

[@WillPower46]

I miss the weather in SA. Watching your videos makes me remember how much better the riding conditions are in SA compared to NZ where it rains everyday.

[@AronThorrn]

I'm 16 turning 17 in a week in the uk so im selling my 2t aprilia rs50 and getting a 2t aprilia 125, such fun to ride

[@Jose-my8ue]

Good quadlock ad - they even put a motorbike in there.

[@gertmeulen9771]

Triumph Speed Triple (with a Quad Lock)

Dude honestly you need to upload more videos frequently. The quality is just superb. And if this is a one man show, it's bordering fortnine back in it's early days, dare I say. 🎉

Don’t suppose anyone knows of a decent phone mount 🤣

[@lethumnisi8696]

Have you tried the Quadlock?

[@biondod1]

Sell the Aprilia to get an Aprilia… Tuono

[@oulupulu]

Seriously dude - if you keep just a few of the bikes you have on the channel, then you will have a pretty epic collection/museum for when you retire. That's a classic. Keep it in the living room or something.

[@sotirakys4655]

Awesome seeing some real content with one of my favourite bikes. I am 18 and Just bought a 2010 one. I am in love. I want to suggest that you get an aprilia rs 250 next. Would be truly awesome. Keep up the good work!!

[@OutrunRewind]

man's got the smooth quad lock segues, i don't see why people really hate that because i really liked it also, maybe a Royal Enfield 650 next? or worse, an RE Classic 350

[@kieranJo70]

Sad to see the Aprilia go, I hate being practical as well. Next bike should be some from the 80’s and in fluro pink or green!!! Also show some bloopers….

[@earlebird4262]

Bro, don't sell it if you love it. You won't find another one in twenty years, when you really miss it. If it's the best of its breed, keep it in the stable.

[@Onewheelordeal]

A 125cc 2 stroke street bike is indeed the stuff of 16yr old me's dreams

[@kwazamalam]

BRO AND I LITERALLY saw it when I was doing my weekly bike browsing 💀. Legit he was the first person that popped into my head, I never thought YOU were selling it💀

[@sinorman231]

i would try to keep it,, very rarely are they seen here in uk,, but understand cant keep everything and need content for youtube , i hope bike will be interesting

[@pakowame4737]

😂😂 I really enjoyed this especially the unexpected segue way of Quard Lock advertisement 🎉🎉🎉

[@CyberChrist]

I'd watch whichever video you'd make with it, but if you get an RS 250, I'll forgive you ;)

[@Angel_EU34]

Now THAT is a niche bike! Not to mention that, funny enough, is way way more reliable because it has a Suzuki engine on it!

[@CyberChrist]

@@Angel_EU34 I'm not so sure about that, hehe...

[@timon4001]

Rip Aprilia :(

[@katywalker8322]

Keep it. You will regret selling it. Even if for now you use it as an ornament My rs125 had its 30th birthday recently. I have owned it from new!

[@wi11503]

You sold it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@notanicename]

I’m not sure if you can find one, but get a 1990 Honda cbr250rr mc22. Thing revs out like crazy which was Hondas response to beat the 2 strokes. As well as being more reliable 🙃

[@katywalker8322]

Not really an answer to the 2 strokes (they were quite a bit slower than the 2 stroke 250s), but yes a 19000rpm red line. I have one in the garage I bought last year but I still need to recommision it.

[@imamgur]

I think it’s time you get a GS and share your thoughts!

[@MotoDude1967]

May be off topic, but I like that phone support thingy, anyone know who makes it? He doesn't mention it in the video.

[@sparklefitness1714]

You just got it!!!

[@CommanderSkull]

Try the Yamaha FZ6 - the 2003-2006 one. Not the naked one, the one with the 2 headlights.

[@R-S-X]

I'd keep it but that's coming from an RS owner. It looks in good condition so will gain in value and look good in office. Although there's other bikes. I'd suggest Aprilia SX/RX/MX. It's the same engine but a supermoto so being a supermoto and 2 stroke. It's would be good content. I do own one though. Good on UK country roads like RS etc.

[@freddieparrydrums]

My RS loves the UK back roads, such an insane sound, love this thing

[@aarokekalainen6475]

Get 2 stroke supermoto! They are so much more fun than 2 stroke street bikes or even 4 stroke supermotos

[@pavannagare9383]

new 390 duke

[@JoaoPaulo-os5jl]

Me as Portuguese South Africa would love to see the new cb650r inline 4 a run this time round . Keep up with the channel I highly recommend it to anyone over here in Portugal. Best regards and keep up the good content and channel!

[@inkdouma]

how about the xsr, might be good idea to get towards classic sometimes. neo-retro is trending nowadays

[@darknessawaits]

I've been watching your content for years now. I get the need of being sponsored but keep this up and you'll lose me and others.

[@ChaosCauses]

Sorry about the free content... won't happen again! I get why you're annoyed. I watch KZbin too and know the struggle. I'm still figuring out the sponsor game. I want to get better at it. I hope to see you on the other side of the learning process.

[@jaide1312]

@@ChaosCauses It's probably better to get all the sponsor stuff done in one go, rather than interrupting the video for it several times.

[@mikenegaard8195]

It was too many times during the video. I want to support you and don't disagree with you running sponsorships, but every time you brought up a selling point it took me out of the video so at the end what I feel I watched was an infomercial. You'll find your balance. We all want to watch you succeed

[@Onewheelordeal]

Poo poo on you good sir. You admittedly watch free content for years and complain about enduring a few sentences lol what a baby. Thought it was funny wondering if it would pop back up again, y'all are a bunch of Karen's a guy has gotta get paid

[@Lou.C59]

@@ChaosCauses You incorporated the add perfectly. A few seconds here and there, in amongst the video was a brilliant move. I dislike it when the add is shown all in one go in the middle of the video.

[@sonalfernando2342]

Really missing Old R1 days bro 😢

[@BX2ABT]

You forgot to mention the sponsor of this video: RAM Mounts!

[@divyansh7264]

i can understand you i have a 50 cc 2 stroke scooter i love it ,it has a crossplane agression

[@ripntearslayer9101]

You should look for an sv1000. They were only made from 03 to 07 so it's another niche bike, but the torque of a 1000cc v-twin is something else

[@Teraraki]

The cycle of content never stops, so I'd sell it and use that to fund a new motorcycle, maybe go radical and get something you'd never usually consider, some of the best bikes in the world or under a veil of stereotypes like the big 1000cc varadero or firestorm (superhawk)

[@RedSunGamerTV]

Sell the Aprilia to a 16 year old and get a H2 and really test the quad lock!

[@Alic_R1]

Now get another R1!!

[@michaelboyorix]

Keen to see a Yamaha 1200 scrambler XE.

[@CritclGdmode]

My brother has the 125 mx supermotard still, work to be done but she was a beast

[@literallyhuman5990]

You know what? You could try Underbone 150cc bike. Its small, not fast, but pretty fun to ride on. The aftermarket parts is easy to find too. Its also not bad for daily usage, especially with the newer ones being so reliable, you can mod the crap out of it and even use 300cc bore up with stock block, though its not really a good idea unless you upgrade the transmission. But its fun! Mine is bored to 180cc from 135cc, not much, but still fun! Until I have to sell it because I needed money for my college

[@chrisharrison3649]

Time for a scrambler……… and I still don’t own a quad lock.

[@Xenomorphic911]

Just got mine, and it now needs a bottom end rebuild :(

[@catslife5501]

Pity I only saw these vids on the Aprilia now. As a 79 year old it would be a great choice for me. I always loved the Aprilia and especially this model.🏍

[@leanspo]

It's sad to let it go but it's the smart move. I think about what I'm going to do with my current bike once I have a new one and right now I think about keeping it for the short trips and commute. Even though it's getting old and will probably give me headaches in the future, I don't think I'll get enough money for it, these bikes tend to lose value 'cause they're cheap as new. Btw I felt that there was a little too much ads but it's a fresh way to sell it. I mean, most of the creators I follow just dedicate one or two minutes of the video to talk about it and I just skip it, but this way I kind of enjoyed it, it falls right on time. Reminds a little bit of Linus Tech Tips. Keep it up! 🙌

[@WatamelonUberSheep]

Any possibilities for you to acquire a kawasaki ninja 150 rr? Its a 2 stroke bike popular in SEA regularly used for drag races and can produce 40+ hp when modified.

[@acvn-hg9gy]

Have you had a vfr before? Would be great. But ut should me a 98-01. 5th gen = best gen

[@markhill8590]

Just bought one off these the other day and the brake pads have fallen out of the caliber already......the joys

[@jondiesel_g40]

Man, go for an Yamaha yzf-R6 carburated (99-2001) and start doing track content 😍🤩

[@hosac99]

its time for 250 2 stroke

[@AnmeosXI]

Enjoyed the video, but the ad was definitely heavy-handed. The constant emphasis on the quad lock was quite jarring and made the overall point feel almost fake. Personally, hearing someone push a product repeatedly and obnoxiously makes me want to buy it less. I have no problems with sponsorships in general as it helps bring you more money for more content, just not like this. In the future, I think having a dedicated portion for the ad with a progress bar like other KZbinrs would be a good way to compromise. Anyways other than that, I enjoyed the video and am curious as to what bike you'll pick up next.

[@aaronalovero6417]

Rs 250 or another big 2T

[@DADDY-RHYS]

Are they really that unreliable? Idk I'm considering getting one but I feel like it'll stay in garage longer than it would be on the road

[@Porcodiqueldio]

Depends on how much you use it if you need it to get from home to work it’s not a great idea if you only use it for the sunday ride it’s good

[@CyberChrist]

Depends on your preventive maintenance skills ;)

[@2strokerides]

Nah they arent that bad. Have done 10k kilometers on mine and it really broke down twice. They do however need alot of maintance. A snapped throttle cable or clutch cable can happen on any bike. Not just these

[@CyberChrist]

@@2strokerides And they're quite easy to avoid with simple preventive maintenance, It never happened with mine with more than 10k in a very rainy area. It had other problems, though, and was my least reliable bike, but I was a far worse mechanic than I'm now :P

[@CyberChrist]

Also beware if you run too lean the engine risks overheating and seizing ;)

[@kozi232]

I have been riding since 11 years motocross, but never streetbikes because they never catched me like a mx bike. One time i rode a Ducati Monster 750 from 2003 and this catched me absolutely. About 4 month after that Ride i boght my own Monster 750. With the carburetor it geves you emotions while riding like no much other bikes. Maybe this is an idea for your next bike projekt. Ps. Very cool videos💪🏼

[@Christopher_Hall]

So sad to see the RS125 go! Really enjoyed all the videos of the RS125. In my opinion, you should identify 4 bikes that you would buy and let us vote on the next bike?

[@C.A.MARSUPIAL]

I envy you for you having a two stroke. And you're selling it. But I understand if it's only a 125.

[@johnschlesinger2009]

Years ago I had a RSV250: it was bliss!

[@CalvinKingTattoos]

saw it on sale, messaged straight away haha

[@protoperipoli3196]

It'll be easy to sell in Italy, though I'm not sure about the documents. If you grew up with one of these, rode them on a racetrack, now how to optimise them, when you're in your 40s cornering with a 200kg sportsbike is not that fun anymore. With this it is, it's at least 70kg less and you just have to ease the bike into the corner, it's easier to lean out from one side to another, you don't need 150kph corners to feel the thrill, and when you go downhill on mountain passes and you've overtaken every single bike ahead of you, including R1 and other extreme superbikes, which you can (remember in moto3 on corners slower than 100kmh they speed they carry at the apex can be as much as 20% more than motoGP), you'll have much more satisfaction. And if you want to be safe, take it to a small racetrack and you won't be as tired and aching as you would be if you were riding a 200kg bike. And be old fashioned, learn the roads and keep your phone silent in your pocket! You want your eyes on the road at all times, if you get lost, just stop and check your phone.

[@KiidMoto]

I don’t see what’s wrong with this video y’all are babies. Great video my man keep it up💪

[@samystrider5995]

Hi chaos, Could we please get a full unedited ride of the RS125 before you let it's broken italian glory go? it can absolutely be an unlisted video since you don't do that type of content, just want to see how yours performs at WOT... from riding yours, have you noticed a slight dip in acceleration after the exhaust valve opens? Mine falls on it's face at 9,5k rpm struggling to go past that.

[@2strokerides]

You're exhaust is probably restricted. Had that on mine too

[@samystrider5995]

@@2strokerides Thanks for the reply, i dropped you a follow on your IG aswell! Did this happen to you on a stock exhaust or a aftermarket one? Mine is stock, that's why im asking.

[@2strokerides]

@@samystrider5995 yeah I had it on a stock exhaust. I'll hit you up on instagram

[@katywalker8322]

What rpm is your power valve opening at? Should be ~7800 rpm. If the valve is opening late (either because it is sticking, or someone has done something with the control unit) then a bit of a flat spot immediately after tge valve opens is possible. But 9500is way after it should have opened. Check the valve is in the right way up (note, one of his earlier videos the valve housing was upside down!)

[@Yxmmie]

i would love for him to get a mt07 i think he might consider that over the 09

[@litare4328]

I don't mind sponsored videos, and i like your channel so go take the money i will just skip the ad and everyone is happy but the flow of the video is kinda weird due to the sponsor, i much prefer when the channel take 60 or 90 sec straigt ouf the vid to talk about the product than what you did (+quad lock is a good product anyway so i don t think ppl are gonna be mad)

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

There is an audio spike on the intro rev noise. Or my headphones are broke, which I don't think so

Hey how about rather than selling the biek you make a series all about 2 stroke maintenance and runnign through everything about the rs125

[@ales_krejci]

How did it go? I am keeping my 50cc 2 stroke forever, its 1991 and my 12 years old self would never forgive me. And as a bonus its already 4x purchase price now on the used market 🙂

in europe at 16 you cant ride 125 2stroke, only 4stroke :(
