Gidday peoples, Names Vin, and im a complete newb to the world of biking, i was cruising past Honda Otago after work the other day, and spied a Honda CBR125R, and fell in love with it, looks sweet!
Long story short, i need my bike license!
now i've played around on trail bikes etc, and at easter jumped on a family friends yamaha 500 something, (scared the shit outa me to start with) but soon loved it, a great rush!
I have read all i can about the CBR125R, and sounds stunning, and sounds as the the performance practically matches most low budget 250's such as the gn250. But seeing as im learning on the road is this abit extreme? the way i look at it, by the time my full license comes around, ill be sick of ANY bike 250cc or less, as it just isnt that big! so, a honda, well maintained, etc etc, is gona have a sweet resale value, and isnt going to corrode like GN250's, it also looks sweet.
yes i know im going to come off! who doesnt atleast once in there life ae? hopefully once is enough, and you learn your lesson! and if its someone else's fault hunt em down and make em pay! so im not OVERLY worried when the day comes that i hurt my ever so sweet looking fairings.
I only stand around 5'9" or 5'10" ish (cant remember) and last i weighed in was only around 75 kg's or so...
sorry for the loooong post, but any feed back would be killer.! :woohoo:
p.s loving this site since i joined up, alot of helpful ladies and gents puttin ur knowledge out there for us new people to pick over and ponder, a big thanks to you all in advance.
