Don't get a R5. Go for a starlet turbo.

r5 is a cool option but relibility problems. if you get a minter you should be ok though, same with any turbo

Doubt you'd get a 5 worth having without having to spend alot on one.

R5 is cool but for all the money you spend fixing them i'd get a glanza or an older starlet turbo

doesnt do it justise...if u get one look after it...getting rarer and rarer...and they should be treated nice...as they werent back in the day...not the easiest "run about" by far...warm up...cool down every journey...fun though regardless...
