1976–83 Aspes 125 Juma (aka 'Yuma') |
---|
Performance | |
---|
The Juma was known as a exceptionally powerful (albeit peaky) 125 two-stroke, but it's still just a 125. That's a bit like being the meanest bully in the chess club. |
|
Handling | |
---|
It may not look very high-tech, but it was a wildly popular club racer that taught many future stars how to get around a track quickly. |
|
Looks | |
---|
I love the period-perfect café racer outrageousness of the Juma's original '76–'81 bodywork. But the seat tail taller than that tank? Maybe they took it a little too far. |
|
Reliability | |
---|
The Juma was known as a quality-made, reliable race engine. But even the best race engine is going to wear quickly and need a lot of spare parts...which don't exist anymore. |
|
Practicality | |
---|
It's not really zero; I'm rounding down. It scores a 0.001, because I am sure there are a few more impractical motorcycles out there. (The 1894 Hildebrand & Wolfmüller comes to mind.) |
|
Desirability | |
---|
An unusually capable small-bore, very few people have ever seen a Juma in the flesh. |
