So I finished Uni 1st May and doing admin which means I have money. Work when I want and pay is really good.

Anyway, got chatted the GF and she was moaning about how when she goes home for summer she wont be insured on her rents car and we start talking about going halves on a bike Shocked

So Thursday night I'm in Wales at 7pm after working a full day, have to work Friday 9am and then going out in Bristol (tonight) and all I have to get myself home on is...

Had to ride it 100 miles on the motorway and to be honest, I loved it! Overtaking a lorry taking over two minutes is such as refreshing change from being able to go 100mph+ whenever you want.

I averaged about 60mph and the bike went really well. Around town it is really fun and filtering is amazingly easy. I paid £450 for it which was WAY over what I wanted to pay but It comes with a spare engine (minus a piston), working forks and 2 wheels (with tires). These are being picked up by my flatmate which lives in Wales. Never buy a bike with a girl as they demand the first one they see but hey, lots of blowjob points.

Never thought I would see the day where I would love a tiny bike and loving it so much. Think I will get a new exhaust for it as tried to do the steep hill in bath today and went about 20mph at one point! Cost £6.30 for 100 miles which is dirt cheap (was at 99p/litre as well)

Aftermarket exhausts seem really hard to come by, anyone got any tips/one to sell?

Also, I take it this is the baffle? Think there would be much performance gain from removing it?

Seems to be lots of black stuff (coke?!) in the exhaust.

Garage has 4 bikes in at the moment as my flatmate has little 100cc ped, my 'Four and a mates J model zx6r.

Take the baffle out, will sound better. May improve performance but you will want to test it first. Mine made it struggle at low revs. Different bike but same effect I imagine. Give it a test.

I still can't stop riding my 125. Glad to know I'm not the only one who's gone mad. Thumbs Up

That zx636r looks strangely like an A1P model as opposed to a J. Sorry to be picky.
