In this section we'll reveal a GP bike, the João Pinto's Honda RS 125 GP.
João was participating for 2 years in the National Cagiva Mito 125 Trophy, using an modified rotary valve Cagiva Mito 125 engine by LuFo, then he decided to enter in the 125 GP class by buying an Honda RS 125 for participating in the European, Portuguese, Italian and Spanish Championships.
