Thinking of trading the Ninja in for a 125.............

[Hungrytang]

NO not really.

But I did buy my misses a Suzuki GS 125 a couple of days ago so that she can practice for her test.

Id forgotten just how much fun you can have on a little bike...!
Shes hardly had chance to ride it because im always out playing with a stupid grin on my face.
It wheelies a treat and without fear of wrecking a grands worth of fairings.
And it just dosent even seem to matter that its flat out doing 55 mph.

The ZX6R dosent get a look in.

125's Rule.

I remember the 2months, being overtaken, struggling up hills, not able to make 60 in national speed limit areas, no fuel gauge, no underseat storage, no side stand, fixed suspension, crap tyres.
People thinking I was a kid.

No thanks.

i love my little gz125 for getting me to work in the near future i'll let our lass use it for her test (cbt) as i only paid £600 for it so not bothered about if she drops it

I'm in two minds whether to sell mine when I finally get round to upgrading, or just to house it in a shed for winter/commuting. It really is a cracking bike for what it cost me, and I just cant imagine 60mph being as much fun on a big bike.

55! Mine will do 70 with a little bit of help!

I had a 125 Intruder for 6 months before my test. Great bike. Would do 75 with a following wind and was so easy to handle, tons of storage, I filled it up once in a blue moon.

I am 16 stone and have the aerodynamics of a parachute!

Mine will cruise at 64ish in the speedo on the flat and more downhill and/or with a tailwind.

Mine will do 65 70mph on a flat with no wind as its a crusier style but only cost me £8 every 200 miles to fill it up

Exactly why I have BOTH the Blade and my RXS100.

Today I took the little bike and I haven't been on it since the cold and icy weather. It's like a different machine!

After the winter I was finding it hard to see the point of RXS. On cold, slippery commutes an old 500 would make more sense. However on warm sunny days when you can really chuck the 100 about it pays for itself in giggles.

I wouldn't give up the bigger bikes, but no harm in having a toy to bring back memories of learner shenanigans. The smell of a hot 2-smoke is hard to resist.
