cbr125r?

**boonie** · 12th January 2008, 18:19

Got my learners and a CBR125R, just thought i'd ask for more experienced riders opinions on this bike. i don't really need a 250 as i will mainly use the bike as a commuter. also thought that 5195 was a fair price for a brand new bike. what do you think?

Mint bike! Post a review once you've got more k's on it eh cos i've always wondered what they were like.

Good on ya mate, as long as you ride aye. A gpx for 6 grand would be another option too.

Edit: Any chance you can post some pics?

will post pics as soon as i am able to. (computer stuffing me around atm

)

as to review, will start clocking up k's now to get through the running in and let you know how it performs

I want to get one of these, for commuting only. Then I can turn the CBR into a race bike

and ride it like I stole it.

Seems like a nice bike this - with that fuel injection and all that other fancy jazz.

why don't you just get a gpx amit, no need to go to a 125cc for commuting, the gpx is only a little bit more so a 2006/2005 will be within reach.

haha sounds lame but as parents are helping me pay for it they want me on a 125 not a 250.

No worries mate, 125's are still wicked fun, just ride safe k! Rubber side on the road. You should come to a learner event sometime with the SMC I would love to check out ya shiny new ride.

Because the GPX is ugly as shit, and for commuting you don't need a 250, it needs to go 50, and maybe 100 every now and then, not for joyriding, thats what the CBR is for.

Also, I want fuel injection

**boonie** · 13th January 2008, 18:52

sounds good. whens the next one after february? thats when my course settles down a bit an i have less study to do which = more time for improving my riding

**ital916** · 13th January 2008, 19:12

im in devenport - in the navy, i think i have duty this weekend ie have to stay on base and i also kinda have no life at the moment - goin for an early promotion.

**ital916** · 13th January 2008, 20:23

haha no kidding, i have a few navy mates who ride bikes...you a officer? At uni or something or going for sole navy training? Haha the amount of times they missed parties due to duty...plus your bar closed down..no more cheap shots. You still have the pool table and the big mofo screen though.

Nice bike, my sister got one. Managed to pry it off her hands for a bit. I did found the breaks and suspension a bit iffy, especially during breaking and down shifting (but that was at "speed" hehe, couldn't handle the 10hp). Other than that, really nice bike and a pleasure to ride

Have fun!

You should sell the RG and get one. I mean get a Honda CBR125. Less problem than a 2 stroke bro....
