Is it really that hard to comprehend? The RGV is wasted in the riding environment in which it is currently being used. I read the thread on the RGV website, and sorry, but it seems they just cannot be objective! The guy knows how well his RGV goes and handles, and loves it, but it rarely gets out of 3rd gear, so where's the point in that? He wants something more manageable in heavy commuter traffic, and where's the harm in that?
The NSR150 is a great in-traffic hack! Until you've actually ridden one on the Sukhumvit highway in Thailand in the rush hour, then you will never appreciate how good it can actually be!
No, it's nothing compared to an RGV250 or an NSR250, but anyone who expects it to be is living in cloud cuckoo land! It should however cream a 125 if it's set up well. I followed Matt@TYGA who was riding a piped Aprilia RS125 one day, who was in turn following Paul (TYGA) who was on a piped NSR150SP, and the 150 wasted the Aprilia (widely regarded by the spotted yoof as the best modern 125!) everywhere!
Given a choice of all the 150's, the Honda is the best. Best built, best looking, best all-rounder. The Krappasaki may be quicker/faster in a straight line, but it won't be for long! Bit like their 250's then!
