As far as high-output 125s go, Aprilia will begin selling this FI 125 4-stroke in the U.S. later this year -
Aluminum frame though - I'd be a shame to chop or cover it up! Interesting to see how it compares to the new CBR250R single as far as performance and FE.
It might do well as one of the "
crouch down and get real small" entries from the older Challenges, but would take a lot to get it modded into an upright (scooter) position with the required storage. You'd pretty much just need to use the engine and build you own frame for the most part I guess.
Neat bike as it sits IMO.
