The 125 2-stroke was an upgrade model over the 98cc. Introduced in 1951, this bike was the commuter bike for the Italian masses with many model variations until 1959. The 150cc was introduced in 1953 and the last of these models were built in 1956.
There were several variations to pick from.; The Turismo Speciale (90KPH), the Sport model (100KPH), and the luxury touring model, the Bracco.
125 Colors: Almost all 125 2-strokes were red. Some later 2-strokes were painted black & white. Most Braccos came with cream and black paint.

Today's 125 outlook: They are everywhere in Europe. At least one is for sale on Italian E-bay every week. Most are rusty projects. There are about a dozen 125's in the USA. Cosmo never imported these bikes to America. These were privately imported by their owners years later. There are no parts in the USA for these bikes. One has to have an Italian connection to get what they need. They are fun little bikes, but definitely not for today's traffic.
