125GP

[Ivan]

Hey guys do you want to see our GP classes end up not being raced. Come on get your bikes out of the sheds. Get to a race meeting and race it. Come on :weird:

[Coyote]

Where can I get me one?

[FROSTY]

um and your point is --most of the KB ers that race are doing it

[Ivan]

Well where are they the classes are under threat and Alumbra they are everywere trade me etc. My point is who wants to see such a skilful class die uhhhhh Duuuuuuhhh.

[Sparky Bills]

I know what you mean.
Last year there were lots in the Vic races, this year theres about 3!!
Where have they gone???
These are the best bikes to learn to race on, teach you corner speed, hard braking and race craft!
And shit! they are bloody fast!
I would love to race one, but am far too tall! :mad:

Looks like great fun.

I've destroyed any resale value I might've had with the CBR, so I can't sell it to buy anything else. Maybe when I finally get a job I might save up for a 125

With the pace you had when on the track, i can say that you have what it takes to be a great gp racer.
Go hard mate!!

Yeah, thats kinda a major thing when racing..
or riding for that matter :whistle:

[Ivan]

You can buy parts made for racing to put the seat back for taller riders I'm pretty tall. My problem is the bike is set up for how Jay raced it and I dont have the same style so I have been putting rear brake on in corner all by mistake.

[k14]

How tall are you sparky?? I'm 6 foot and whilst it isn't an armchair it isn't uncomfortable. Biggest problem I have is getting nutted on the tank when i go to brake. Alot of people go on about how small they are etc but thats bollix imo, I know a guy that weighs over 100kg down here that races his pretty competitively and also heard of 6 foot 4+ guys riding them.

[sAsLEX]

I have sat on k14's one and I am about 6 foot as well, just a little less comfortable that the NC. Still to have a go on it though

[Coyote]

When was comfort ever an issue?

Have to agree there. I'm 6ft and double the weight of Danny Pedrosa, but I still manage to hike on my CB150T that is no bigger than a 125GP bike. And when you're out there having fun, you don't realise who small the bike is anyway.

[Ivan]

Im 6 foot 1 and comfort isnt a matter its not a sunday cruise its a bloody race hang your ass off the seat tuck down and go for. Yeah k14s right it dont matter how tall you are

[That Guy]

Dunno if this is the reason why 125s aren't racing but I've generally not raced in winter because a) it's winter and who wants to drive for 4 hours/spend $300 only to be cold & wet and b) gives me a chance to re-cover some racing funds and rebuild my bike. Racing all year round just takes up too much of my time & money.

I think a lot of club racers are fair weather/seasonal racers for this reason. Might be why a few 125s are taking a break.

[Fluffy Cat]

Its off season for me time to fix the bike and do the other things.Its surprised me just how much time it takes up.

Would help if you only had one or two bikes to fix........ :rofl: :motu:

All of the above - cold, wet, recovering funds.... aint got a 125, only F3.... etc...etc

Betty says that 7 aint a good number in China so i guess another is on the way.Hate it when things are forced on me!.
