Looks smart, apart from the windbreak on the fork, can you not stick one on the screen instead, you must be pulling to the right with that thing tongue out

Two chaps in here have them bikes, cracking learners from what I gather.

Dern, they are needed on front and back and I think it carries points if one is missing.

Looks a nice bike mate. Will be reliable, cost nothing to run and be easy to ride. Most people will say you should of bought an RS but my mate is seriously considering changing his RS for a CBR because of the reliability.

Is it wrong to get really hyper over a first bike, even though its a lowly 125? smile

Another week or two till my one of these arrives

and even though itll be slow and probably fall apart I cant wait! I've already absorbed all the info on the internet about these and planned preemptive maintenance, out to halfords to pick up the oil, spark plug and L plates tomorrow smile

Sure if it was my first form of transport I should be this hyper but im 27 and have already owned far faster machines! albeit of the 4 wheeled variety.

Now if youll excuse me im off to try on my gear again smile

Don't be too worried about it only being a 125, everyone has to start somewhere... even some of the biker god's on here...

Dobles are a really good dealership... I plan on getting my next bike from them... unless I go for a BMW....

Only about 14 hp Chilli. These are the learner legal ones. The RS125 is 14 hp is restricted form but can be derestricted to 33 hp (claimed, about 27 at the wheel usually). CBR will do 75 and RS will do 100 or more if you don't mind a seizure followed by sliding along on your arse at 100+

Well i got my CBT today so can finally take it out, doesnt look like i'll be able to get a DAS in before the change over anyway, and if im honest i need some practise on the 125 before i move up to anything bigger.
