Obviously i had to park mine in the shot or she would have felt left out,jelouse......wouldnt have heard the end of it.!


Thank you, I like the look of that, I want some of those reflective strips on the wheels too, but not sure what colour to choose, maybe red or white? And obviously I like yours too (don't want her jealous), how long have you had it? Smile

Lovely bike Hayley, I've always liked the look of these 125's, what's the top speed ?
I think your right about the exhaust, exhaust are if you think of it the bum hole of an engine and who wants to look at a bum hole, wish all bikes had exhausts hidden under the seat, I bet it keeps your bum nice n warm in winter.

This will be my next bike when funds allow Very Happy CBR600RR loverly bike

brilliant picture!

Back to OP, And thats bike is nice for a 125bet they are a bit expensive, but I suppose that it depends how long you keep it for, are you not going to move up to a biggerbike?

Hi everyone, thanks for all of your comments.

Here's an update... Very Happy

I've had it nearly 4 months now and done 1,000 miles (mostly when it hasn't been raining!). But I started it the other day and noticed a whining sound coming from around the dashboard area, similar to the noise it makes when you turn on the ignition. I took it back to Honda and apparently it's the fuel pump making a funny noise (although the bike seems unaffected, no engine cutting or anything). Not a worry though as they are going to change it (tomorrow) for free because it's still under warranty... phew! Shocked

I don't like the idea of the exhaust either, lol, but I'm not planning on changing it as I don't intend to keep this bike forever.

I've got around 70 mph so far but hope to get a bit quicker when the wind and rain goes away for good!

Admittedly though, I can't wait to get my hands on a 600... I've already got my eye on a CBR 600 RR! Wub

Rode a 125 once in my life for my CBT, haven't ridden one since, only bike I rode which you could rag the life out of and keep your license, starting to think a slower bike would be more fun than a fireblade, well on the road anyway.
