Meet my rather dirty sr125, my current pride and joy, dearer to me than my mother.

cost me £600 from a local dealer with a years MOT + Tax.

Georgeous runner but the chain needs adjusting a tad bit too loose.

And It was I who snapped the corner of the plate, I still dont know how, its a weird snap.

Any suggestions for a front L plate positioning, I have put the back on on with duct tape but I dont like the idea of it all nestling over my fork seals or anywhere else it looks awful and always snaps in the wind/comes off.

I am too heavy for this I want a 250 to learn on, very comfy ride though not too much vibration, but the bike is stupidly underpowered and could do with another gear, 60mph is killing its soul.

At least you won't need worry about anyone stealing it. Silence

Beleive me, I do, my 100cc SCV was stolen in broad daylight from outside 13B invincible road farnborough, wickes, it has NO fairings and had a hole in the exhause the size of a fingerprint, found it up the alley from there, no lights, nothing, stripped and botched hotwire, was totally fucked, got it at my mates in lye copse, still runs off the kick, no plate, no engine number, yours for free if you are willing to pick it up, goes to anyone.

another bike with spokes!, good to see someone has bought something other than sportsbike, now you need an open face helmet and a good pair of sunglasses to complete the look.

Ive found the cruiser style harder to U turn than a CG or CB without putting a foot down, the answer i found was to go a little quicker.

Im not being nasty but the SR125 i had sucked, i got a minor on my bike test because the thing wouldn't do 60 Mph quick enough, i was going down a hill too!

I hope yours is better than what i had!

I learnt to ride on one of those!

Awful IMO. But good luck with it and ride safe
