All my bikes felt really fast at first, especially the Monster Shocked

Don't worry you'll quickly get used to it and want more Laughing

Dont be a twat on it and you'll be fine. No one can 'tell' you how to ride, you need to learn for yourself.

Thumbs Up

I'm getting an RS125 derestricted with a full arrow system and this is my first bike. I've rode my friends RS50 and thought that was powerful, but I guess cos it was my first time on a bike most bikes would.

Will the bike seem to powerful for me? I'm hoping it will just take me a while to get used to the sensitivty.


Ive ridden pretty much 4 strokes all my life... short life Razz

I hopped on my friends GPR125... its got a yamaha 125 2 stroke engine..and the powerband shit ive heard is actually true Laughing Laughing
It actually caught me out when i took it up the road.. they kick in real hard!
Just get used to the bike first... dont go throwing it into corners and revving the tits off from the lights.

edit : this was derestricted... and full of life... scary as shit first time, but was great!

After the 50 its going to feel like a rocket but fortunately its not a dangerous amount of extra power (i.e its not going to flip you/break the back ends traction/tankslapper etc.) so just enjoy riding it and when its straight and clear give it the beans and get used to it. The Rs125 is a fantastic bike and you'll love the power it has!

Good luck Wink

I guess with full throttle and a dumped clutch from standstill you could probably flip it but my point stays the same! Remembering back to my RS125 I remember the handling of the suspension and chasis far outweighed the engine. Full throttle corners were possible and I cant think of a single time the larger than required rear trye ever gave way, On the other hand I remember what its like to be new to something and on my current bike I still havent hit the throttle stop in first gear whereas many more experienced people on her would tell me not to worry.

Just be progressive, you are taking a step up but you arent jumping hugely beyond your capabiltiy. Like I said before, just enjoy it Wink

Embarassed I've seen people flip 50cc peds......

Any bike is dangerous in the wrong hands, if they have no control over the right wrist.

We can only assume that the OP is not in the UK as they would clearly be riding outside the terms of their licence if they were in the UK on a unrestricted 125.
