maintenance wise, the RT is going to be uber easy to take care of, just basic things, mix your gas 32:1, keep your air filter clean (when it looks dirty, clean it!) change the oil in the gear box maybe once a month which is way overkill keep the chain adjusted, you should have about 2 inches between it and the swingarm with it on a stand, check the spokes regularly and keep them tightened, other than that just ride it and save your money for a early 00's 125, they can be had for about 1000-2500 around here
