Rosso Fluo was the fluorescent-red colour option for the RS 125, giving the small two-stroke a loud, race-paddock look. Mechanically it is the regular RS 125 of the period with its aluminium twin-spar frame, upside-down fork and radial front brake. In the US it was sold only for closed-course use because of emissions rules, and testers found an engine that does little until around 10,000 rpm but rewards being ridden hard on track.
