| IF YOU crave the quiet life, don't even think about an Aprilia RS125R Extrema. The easy sophistication of modern motorcycling is definitely not on the agenda here. Neither are workaday concepts such as 'trickling through town unnoticed', 'just riding round a bit' and 'being remotely sensible'. No. The 34bhp Extrema is for committed nutters: fans of head-down, full-bore lOOmph momentumism. The Extrema is for those willing to coax unreal speed from puny power, then preserve it at all costs. The Extrema responds only when subjected to the uncompromising attack plan of a 125 grand prix racer: 1) peg throttle open 2) tread gear lever furiously 3) cling to speed like demented pitbull, and never let go. Dogged slipstream-ing, precision overtaking and ferocious corner speeds are the 125 racer's trademarks: buy an Extrema and they will become yours too, reality suspended forthwith. It's all knees in, blue smoke and black visor. Ideally there's some Italian blood in the family tree. Move only | |
