Suzuki EN125

[FROSTY:Me]

What a cool lil bike.
Jorja has been looking for a bike she can "actually ride" for a little while.
For some innane reason she trusts my judgement when it comes to the bike she should have.
My criteria for a learner bike has always been that in has to have minimal stuff that can be busted if its crashed. It must have flat bars and not be a multi so its easy to work on.
Well Bingo --Along came this mighty EN125. Its a 2005 with only 4000 km on her clock.
The EN shares its powerplant with the DR125 trailie.(so yea theres a few hot up bits)
Its a naked bike with a whole bunch of cool stuff on it. Dist brake front end,electric start,digital gear indicator and even a fuel gauge.
I found it easy to go up and down through the gear box and the riding position is totally neutral. Even though its "only" a 125 once you get it revving it runs on up to over 100km/h
Handling wise it aint to bad at all but like it bigger brothers will definitely apreciate some decent tyres. Read that as --AS soon as its ridden more than up n down the road it NEEDS a decent front tyre
Jorja suffers from a lil case of short inside leg but the bike fits her perfectly with both feet on the ground.Youda thought for someone of er normal height it would be cramped--BUt NO its just fine.
Its early days yet but for someone looking for an alternative to the GN's or the FXR this bike is the perfect answer

Looks like one of those beloved by UK learners and South-East Asia. Maybe one day she can take it bucket racing

Ohh you mean get the DR125 hot up kit then fit a reverse cone megaphone exhaust then the front spring kit from an older traillie and sticky tyres --The thought NEVER occurred to me for a moment--HONUST

He isn't keen on me riding let alone racing lol. I know I have got it bad when I start thinking it is sexy, cover it with a rain coat when the garage roof started leaking and got excited by the sunshine this morning.

Apologies that my first post here is a bump!!

I am in the process of buying one of these from a fellow down south... After reading all the reviews and specs I could find I believe it'll be an excellent learner bike for me - I'm just wondering how you got on riding it yourself? I'm about 6'1", so not the shortest rider in the world, do you reckon I'm going to fit on this bike or will I utterly dominate it?
