I really liked the supermoto singles and the later streetfighter. Unfortunately the problem I saw with the company is that they made reliable, easy to service, quirky bikes that went well in the real world for the purpose they were intended, this is great for the second hand buyer but I don't think its what the buy it new crew are looking for. They made some great bikes which suited me down to the ground unfortunately I have never bought a brand new bike in my life so maybe their target audience was a bit off. I wish the new guys all the best. This is great news, my old next door neighbour used to race these bikes and win! http://www.mzridersclub.co.uk/bikes/racing/racing.html.

Unfortunately, the market didn't agree with the economics of building such a quality small displacement machine in one of the world's highest manufacturing cost countries. This wouldn't be the first time an RT125 went to Asia - Yamaha built a version of the original 1937 RT125 throughout the 1950s & 60s.
