From GT125 to RG125
RG125 was launched 1978, simultanously with RG185, formerly
knows as GT125 and GT185 with new paint jobs. Neverthelsess,
the RG125 was still sold in some countries with its old name,
GT125. In some countries the model was known as X4. The RG125
didn't have the Ram-Air cylinder head of the older GT125.
