I have owned a new black 2002 MZ RT125 for two months, ridden 1000 miles. Previously owned BMW-R80 and Honda CB450 on which I crossed US from California to New York.

I have owned a new black 2002 MZ RT125 for two months, ridden 1000 miles. Previously owned BMW-R80 and Honda CB450 on which I crossed US from California to New York. RT125 is light and nimble with adequate acceleration (I weigh 190 lbs) even with two up. Runs on regular gas and gets 75 mpg with top speed of 65 mph. Still breaking in six speed, neutral and first gear sometimes difficult to find. Seat is high (32"), wide, firm and accommodating over time. Rear shock is factory set for 165 lbs and needs adjusting for greater weight, which raises seat above 32" and changes head light angle. Engine vibration is well controlled (tighten nuts connecting exhaust to engine block every oil/filter-$10 change, 2000 miles) and braking good. Signal light is not self cancelling and you drive for miles with light flashing. I have added a SlipStream Spitfire windscreen which is well proportioned to this size bike. I would like to add panniers but have not found a system that fits. I am generally pleased with the bike's performance thus far.

Light and easy to ride, good acceleration and brakes. A superb six speed gearbox, very little vibration even at high revs, a pleasure to use. Th paint and finish are the BEST I have ever seen, on any bike at any price in 30 years of motorcycling. Comfortable to ride and totally reliable, a good value for money. I would recommend the RT 125.
