As much as I love the handling on my Firebolt it doesn't hole a candle to my Honda RS125GP bike from years ago. 35HP or so and weighed about 180 lbs. I really miss that bike. The only thing faster in the corners at the track back then were the sidecars. (Was a passenger on one for 2 years) The most fun you can have with your clothes on!

KTM is doing some innovative things with a new 2-stroke engine. Be interesting to see how that pans out.
