No kidding, I have a 125R and it's downright dangerous on the highway. It's great for going back and forth to work, but forget climbing any hills. I think I squeezed out 130kph on it, but the speedo-calibration is a little suspect on these things .. and I really wouldn't want to run the thing at redline for hours at a time.

If you do ride on the highway, you actually want heavy traffic so you don't get run over by people thinking you will be going faster than you can.


I'm stunned Honda is still keeping these around with the 250R coming out in the spring.

That new 250R is pretty darn slow too. It's not like the grey-market 250s that make 40+ hp. This thing is only going to have 26hp, which will be just as slow as the Kawi 250.
