Aprilia RS125 two-stroker coming to America

Well, Here is what I'm planning. New 08 ninja 250 minus motor. Place new motor on ebay. Promptly score 350 Banshee twin 2-stroke. Replace in new chassis and enjoy! All and I mean ALL part will be just a dealership trip away. And with the new 08's being used here shortly I should be able to score them hand over fist for $3500... Maybe even with aftermarket pipes and such to sell also. I have been 2-stroke dreaming for 5 years and im just fucking tired of looking to the UK to try and smuggle a shit bike for top dollar into the US. Time to go new and local! Suck it.

Dude, that would be a pretty damn fast bike. You might have to put a 180 or 190 tire on the back. Plus are you going to be able to fit the dual pipes under the fairing? Those expansion chambers are big. You might have to do some serious moding. How are you going to access the air filter without taking the engine out? The air box is not in the same location as the ninja250.

The kawi 250 is and always will be a POS bike until they really redo the frame. over 20 years, and they've still got the same cruiser frame in that bike.

IMO, not worth doing anything to that. even the EX500 frame is crap really. go with a GS500 setup, much easier and more sturdy.
