Milan show: Rieju RS3 125 unveiled

Rieju has unveiled the finished version of its new learner-legal 125 sportsbike, the RS3.

Powered by the liquid-cooled 125cc engine from the Yamaha YZF-R125, the new machine is designed by British design studio Xenophya design, also responsible for the forthcoming Mac Motorcycles.  

It has a chunky aluminium beam frame, upside down forks, an overbraced swingarm and sporty Marchesini-style wheels.

The new Rieju will be in direct competition with the Yamaha YZF-R125 and Honda CBR125R when it goes on sale in 2010.
