My new Repsol MSX 125

[J D]

I keep debating one for these for a commuter but not sure if I'll be too big at 6ft3 and 18 stone. Need to get a test ride booked.

They're not as small as you think. I'm 5'9 so not a giant but it's not cramped.

The seat to peg ratio isn't far off of a standard road bike. You're just closer to the ground due to the smaller wheels.

Roger are you going all Repsol then?

I'd love a Kawasaki KSR80, which if I'm honest does not look as good as the MSX, but an 80cc 12bhp engine sounds full Lolz!

I'm surrounded by too much other old broken Kawasaki shit here though, so it'll probably never happen, and grey import only is a pain for some spares I guess?

This thread may need a NSFW tag on it soon. The more I see of these things the more I want one!

If anyone wants a go, more than welcome. Promise the smiles after riding it are legit. It's a proper cheeky chappie. Just wish this had been my first 125. I missed it by about 6 months! Those wider tyres mean you can at least lean on them.

Paddy had a go this morning, when he was collecting her majesty. Been such a busy and wet week, first chance I've had to get it out again. Indicators are awful though, the horn and indicators are swapped. So you end up blowing your horn at people every time you go for the indicator.

Fitted K&N Panel then won a full set of Brembos on eBay. Front 4 pot and rear 2 pot complete with braided lines and brackets.

It's fucking sick absolutely awesome bit of kit for the money. Feels a lot bigger!

Are the brembo caliper's a bolt on upgrade, or are you making non specific 4pot caliper's fit with adapter plates etc?

The std front brake looks big and impressive compared to the 230mm disc and single pot caliper on my KMX. I won't be keeping this set up with the breathed on 200cc lump slung in, Life is scary enough!

[wots]

Brembos, have had brackets made. So bolt on now! The same as my ER-6F, which has 4 pot Brembos on with CNC brackets. The stopping power on that is immense.

I'm actually looking at a better disc as I'm worried I'll warp it!

For anyone wanting to come play Pitbike Supermoto - Stretton Circuit Sunday daytime, all welcome - it's a bit North of Peterborough.
Also there's an endurance race the evening before at the same place - if anyone wants to play there, also welcome; but there may be more of a 'competive' atmosphere on track - I'm not worried about winning so no worries for slower riders on my account.

Wot's

Just a question here for you then. If your Yam DT125LC2 (full YPVS working) was brand new or in the same condition as your spunky little Repsol fun machine, would you say it would be as good a bike or as much fun?
