Stuck in a bit of traffic, could have gone a bit more, but I didnt want to push it anymore, not bad though for the "private road" at 5:30pm with lots of silly car drivers...

Nice, 85 is good for a 125, I remember my Varadero only went 75.

my old 125 only went up to 70 and that was down hill with the wind behind it so 85 is great

it does 80-85mph on a straight, 75-80mph into the wind. Havnt really got any good, long, hills except Bury hill, but my mate died going down there so I'm always cautious going down it.

enjoy it bro, then get your full test and get a bigger bike and you'll notice the difference.

its not just the speed your doing on the 125, its the noise of the screaming engine that makes it seem faster.

on my 750 the engines not struggling and screaming so 80 doesnt seem as fast.

hmmmmm should i sell it and get a 125 again

NAHH!

That reads better Wink

I would also be careful what you write and post in future, as prosecutions have be gained by youtube videos.

I doubt they'd prosecute you for an indicated 85 on a speedo with a decal applied and no video of the road Laughing

Could be doing a burnout for all we know, not to mention the actual speed might be scarcely over 70 anyway.

realistic speed is more like 75-80.

And the front wheel controls the speedo, i could do a burnout at 11k rpm, but the speedo wouldnt be moving.

Next video will be a proper video. Smile

Not sure how you guys are getting 80 out of your CBRs!!!


65-70 is the MOST I'll take it too. The RPM is far to high for my liking around those speeds.

I usually keep it set around 60 for long distance. Like a women, don't ride it to fast!

No.....Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad

OK, here is a typical wheelie I can do, it's a cheap helmet cam, so you cant really see the whole wheelie, but you get the gist. Clutch ups are successful 1/10 times Sad

I've made a careful note of your name and will wait for the advert saying 'one careful owner, never thrashed etc' when you flog it after passing your test!
