Just for 125 riders :)

[BlackStallion]

It would be good to no what 125's other people have and what they think of them. It's sort of like a questionnaire

What's the longest journey you've ever done?

What do you like about your 125?

If you could change anything what would it be?

Post some pics maybe too

Not a 125 but I've always had a second smaller cc bike in reserve since I past my test. Had couple of sr125's, the second one being very ratted and I've got a little H100 now that I absolutely adore. It more often than not gets chosen over the 600.

I just love the simplicity and no nonsense riding that you get from the smaller and in my case older bikes.

You'll probably find 100 people on here with CG's I have and I'm in love with it. Easy to work on, reliable, comfortable and economical.

However, I'm seriously considering a VT125 Shadow, they cruise the speed limit a lot more easily so I'm told. My CG can feel like it's working just a bit too hard to stay at 60 sometimes.

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

That's just great to hear from someone who rides a 600 wizzzard mate just knowing there is someone out there willing to choose their 100 over a 600

My mates dad had a Suzuki GP125 1983 model, a classic, he gave it to my mate, and for such an old bike, 2 stroke as well, it's been great.

It looks really similar to your H100. I am in love with my 125, been a great bike, took me places, never let me down, started first time every time, just upsetting knowing that i will have to get rid of it in the future for a bigger bike

Photo whore all you want mate, show us a pic of your 600, so we can all see what you choose the H100 over

I chose a Honda Varadero for its size as I'm quite tall and found a CG a bit cramped after a while althogh a nice ride. Also I like the upright position as I'm to old for sports bikes now, body would ache after a short while, Varadero I thought would get me used to the size of a bigger bike for when I pass as well as being comfortable and giving me a good presence on the road. I also like the fact that I can do 70 quite comfortable on her. Furthest I've gone so far is Colchester from home which is about 65 miles and enjoyed every minute of it

I was going to have one at each side and mounted higher but I decided lower would be better so couldn't fit the one on the other side because of the exhaust.

It was loads of fun to do and loads more fun to ride. It managed to be backed over by a bus and crashed twice by my eldest and still got on with it's job without complaining. I'm feeling all nostalgic now

The sr was 4 stroke. Continental drift acceleration but absolutely bullet proof

I have my NSR125. I haven't actually done any voyages on it yet I pretty much used it to commute and for the odd blast on my days off. I love it though even when it is temperamental. I've been stranded a few times and had to push it quite a distance lol.

It's wounded in my mams outhouse at the minute but it will be back .

Longest trip on my CG was 9 hours as far as I can remember. I posted this in another thread not that long ago I seem to remember, my house to Cambridge and back in a day.

Cor! 9 hours on a CG, you must of had one hell of a sore bum!

Where do you live? I take it you used all A roads and some dual carriageways?

I have to say, even though my 125 lacks the power, it's great fun to ride. I normally take the A47 route all the way to my girlfriends house near Norwich in Norfolk, which is 80% dual carriageway.

I've now found a route which is perfect for my 125, there aren't miles of straights, it's a nice simple A road which goes through loads of woodland and contains many bends, which is just brilliant on my 125, you can really dig into some of the corners. You feel like your going a lot faster even when your doing 50, whereas on a dual carriageway with all the cars and some other bikes, even 60 begins to feel pretty slow.

Cheers for the map pic mate

I live in Peterborough, and the roads i take are just made for a 125, it's brilliant

Thats looks a great ride for a 125, must admit I'm looking forward to a day over a week end to just go out and ride, usual problem though of her indoors wanting things done and coming out with comments of "Thought you'd want a break off the bike after a week of commuting" perhaps when I pass the test she will keep her word and jump on with me Awww well I get to ride her tomorrow, only downside is work at the end of the journey

I have a Honda CBF125, and have done around 1100 miles on it and can't get enough

What's the longest journey you've ever done?
Around 90 miles so far

What do you like about your 125?
Pretty much everything, cheap to run and insure, simple but decent looking, great fun on the twisties but not so keen on the straights, four stroke reliability

If you could change anything what would it be?
Headlight fairing...not too keen on it, but apart from that it's pretty much bang on will miss it when I move up to a bigger bike!

I must say well done to Alexio..
9hours to cambridge and back on a CG..
I did Maidstone to Peterborough on my GS500 doing about 90-100 all the way there on motorways and took me just under 4 hours... just getting there!
125..had 3 of them, last one was the Hyosung GT125, best learner bike around i reckon, fast, big and definately the most fun!
Wouldnt change a thing...perfect exhuast, engine, height..amazing...infinite petrol would be nice though!
Furthest i ever went was to Hastings and back...so not far.
