I dunno, I've always loved the R1 and R6. And now you get 17 year olds razzing around on R125s. I dunno.

Still love the YZFs. But not as much as I used to. Simply because of the R125.

The annoying thing is, The owners think they don't need L plates.

Then when I see one out on the Road. I Nod. Their observation skills are so poor they don't even notice me, Let alone the fact I've nodded.

I think WTF? Then realise once I've passed it that I've just nodded to a glorified moped.

I highly doubt they do that to be honest mate.
And yea, The TLR will scrape 72mph in first I think.

Pretty sure your R6 will do 70+ in first gear too.

That bike must tear up the roads up there! Shame your nearest track is miles away though. I agree with ben in that the R125, at least from a distance, has a striking resemblance to the R6 and it's too easy to make that mistake.

LOL!! Laughing Yeah it aint designed for a car for sure! I only moved in september past, rest of the house is pretty big though, 4 bedrooms 1 ensuite etc, pretty huge garden, Ive yet to get a bench made in the garage and a door cutting into the house (was an optional extra but wasnt chosen by the initial buyers) Evil or Very Mad

Its a home for my bike(s)...And other crap Laughing

I was behind an R125 in my car the other day, 50mph all the way.

I felt ashamed.

Seriously? You now dislike a bike you used to like because they made a little version for learners to get into the scheme of riding one of the bigger ones? They dont look like the 600 or the 1000 an it doesnt take a genius to spot the 'tells'. Neutral

Not to sink your boat on the whole "they're fuckin wank like mate", they are choked, if you look at the exhaust pipe, theres a bigger diameter at the exhaust port side, theres a big catalytic converter choking the hell out of the little engine, a new pipe soon sees 80mph seen, also the exhaust pipe (not the header) has a baffle in that can be removed. Thumbs Up Neutral

Couldn't agree more with Binge. I thought it was an R125 with R6 stickers.
