Here it is.... my first bike 
04 Aprilia RS125- Manuel Poggiali Rep, full power from factory, full Aprilia service history, 5135km. Mint condition apart from a scratch on the rear hugger and a couple of stonechips! 
Really chuffed with it, got my CBT on Saturday then need to get it insured and away I go
Have had an awesome 2-piece Alpinestars race suit delivered this morning too!
And to top things off I ordered my new car today.......
Focus Titanium 2.0 TDCi

very nice
and good on you ordering a ford just make sure you go over it with a fine toothed comb when you pick it up as A LOT gets missed on the PDI, mines got to be taken back to get the headlight washer cover and passenger side sideskirt fixed as they are both loose

so they are restricted to whatever it is then you can just desrestrict it? do you do that yourself or go to a dealer or someone?

Somebody correct me if i'm wrong but I think it depends on the year of the bike, as far as I know the bike was purchased as full power from the dealer but the 1st owner had to have a blanking plate fitted (to restrict it) for insurance/CBT purposes.
Some older models needed a mod on the CDI unit and a 'rave' unit to reach full power?

180 polini will make it go bang, and they are the fastest standard full power 125's on the road FACT

4 seconds?
Probably about 7 I'd say?
Definetly the fastest 125 on the market, I love the look of them. I was going to get one, glad I didn't as I got a 400 instead but still lovely bikes.

It an 04 but with 5000km (about 3500m) I don't think its due yet. Was only serviced 1000km ago. I'll take a look in the handbook

I had a Rossi full power 125 back in 99
Also the RS250. Great bikes
I think the 0-60 was around 6-6.5 secs with the CDI unit mod. Lowered the powerband and was quite nippy.
