YZFR125s are brilliant. I had a brief go on a friend's- he got a brand new one to ride with L-plates. An expensive choice but they're leagues ahead of the CBR125, although I think there's a new one of those for 2011 - not sure if it's just cosmetics, though.
RS125 sounds like my stupid 2 stroke TZR 50cc 
I may go for a YZF R125 then.

My RS125 did 110mph though. 
that's nothing, migz once told me his 50cc scooter did 100mph!
Downhill with the wind behind you?
i've seen cagiva mitos go 180km/h which is 110mph. its possible
Considering the RS125 is geared to do 106mph at the redline, not taking into account wind resistance, mechanical loses etc etc, then I'd say that 110mph is a "clock speed", and said clock is probably over-reading by about 20%
new gears?
I'd still take it with a pinch of salt, GPS proof or GTFO
Perhaps, I do take them with a pinch of salt as well, and would guess it was perhaps 100mph true speed, it had a full arrow race system on it and was properly jetted - and was one of the earlier FP07 models before they started strangling power, so it probably made over the 33bhp that it's supposed to. Unfortunately by 2008/09 they strangled the FP07 to about 23bhp as opposed to 27/28 before Mr Emissions clamped down
Test riding an NC30 in a few days. Pretty set on buying it.
Best bike I ever had...
Its now mine
Photos to come soonish.Needs some oil, some fixing of the brakes, a new rear tire and maybe some more tape, but hey, it works. 
Mine's gone...
Getting a new one?
Not for a long time, paying off the finance and then I'll see..
My new bike 
Mechanics gave it a look over today and gave it the all clear. Just a crack on the left fairing in front of the pillion peg.

Nice, aren't they the things that rev to about 16,000?
Not quite! Redline is 14,500 which is only 500 more than my GPX 250.
The 2006 R6 was claimed to have a redline of 17,500 but was actually 16,200.
Oh yeah and a better pic
Wheelied the whole way :P
I joke haha, not sure why i said it did 100mph.
Might have been talking about my RS125?
My RS125's definitily did 100mph+, real speed.
It was a chesie, 34mm carb, full arrow exhaust, 124cc.
The thing bloody flew!
It was a 1990 something bike, well before these new shape RS' which are alot slower.
*drewl*
Make sure the engine is up to 90degres Cel before reving it hard. Also use a good oil. On the ohter hand, i didn'd change the plugs at the specified intervals, i just checked them once in a while....ohh do remember to remove the sidestand + bracket if you are going on a trackday....
Your front tyre is mounted the wrong way... where do those "mechanics" work at?
FWIW, I've seen tires where that's the intended direction of the tread.
Metzeler Lasertecs:
Hah nice try. They are Metzler Z6s. They are mounted correctly. These mechanics do not work at the internet
Post your bike! :)
