Is there a new members topic here? Couldn't find it if there is...
But yeah, just joined up wanted to find some new riders in the area, who don't have powerful bikes :p
Got a little Suzuki GP125 which I'm pretty proud of to say I haven't seen another one since I've bought it Just a shame I've had so many problems getting it started, but here's some pictures:

So yeah, tell us what you think about my bike and lets try get to know a few of you
Although I'll probably end up spending my time in the fixing area of this forum since the bloody thing is always broken)

Thanks mate Smile
There swish as! Only problem is when all my mates go past me on 4 strokes when we start off Razz
However I've been told it's got a top speed of 100ish mph, I've also been told they're all hand built so it's impossible to know just how fast it will go 'til I take it out for a real run

Hey Puggy, and welcome. I've got a Suzuki GT125, very similar to what you've got! Lol I'm having the same problems as you too. Think its time for new pistons/rings!

Yeah, just replied to your other thread Thumbs Up
Not sure which is older - mine is a 1981 model, but I think they first came out in 1974.

Suzuki made a GP100 too, my friend had a GP100 when we were kids, the thing flew. Think they must have upped it to a 125 when the learner max cc was dropped from 250.

Don't know :c
Some say over 100mph, others say 90 and I haven't had a chance to find out yet. I was told their all hand assembled so all have slightly different spec's so once it's working I shall get back to you, I've had 50 out of it though

Yeah my instructors first bike was one of those :p and yeah I think they are slightly older then the 125 version by 5 - 10 years, haven't got the manual handy so can't check that one up atm :p

Nice bike! I really like the old-school classic look. Watch out for your front L plate though, it's illegal (not the correct size as the sides are trimmed, and not displayed conspicuously, as it's facing more upwards and hard for others to see). 3 points on your license and a £60 fine if you get pulled by a mean policeman. Thumbs Up

Yeah I've heard about that, sounds like a stupid rule tbh, but yeah I will be sorting it out before I take my actual test, but I don't think I'll be doing it before the end of September :c

However the off-road bit looks interesting, but I wish you could do them on separate days. And they didn't charge you £80 to do it compared to £60
I reckon it's just another way to persuade bikers not to go on the road and get more money out of us. And I'm hoping there joking about the time limit, or its a fair one because that will just put loads of pressure on everyone who attempts it to do it as fast as possible
